Abstract:Abstract. In this contribution, the prototype of an energy efficient RF front-end combined to a miniaturized highly efficient antenna system is presented. This demonstrator is designed for LTE small cell base station applications and can address both LTE band 7 & 20. It supports carrier aggregation (CA) for capacity network improvement and is compatible with inter-band CA as well as contiguous and non-contiguous intra-band CA. The measurement results show an energy consumption saving of around 30 % and a size … Show more
