Japan, March 17 -- Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today that it will begin shipping samples of a new 16W-average-power gallium nitride (GaN) power amplifier module (PAM) for 5G massive MIMO (mMIMO) base stations on March 25. This PAM product, which operates in the 3.6-4.0GHz band, can be widely deployed in North America and East and Southeast Asia. As 5G networks expand from urban centers to regional areas, mMIMO base stations, especially 32T32R mMIMO base stations, are expected to be increasingly deployed. Mitsubishi Electric's 16W GaN PAM is particularly well suited for 32T32R mMIMO base stations because it reduces both production costs and power consumption.Since mMIMO base stations use multi-element antennas and...
