Distributed Base Stations Circuit Protection Application Note

This application note provides an illustrated overview of the five basic Distributed Base Station architectures in use today: legacy, split design, "hoteling" approach, zero-footprint, and capacity transfer system.

The advantages and disadvantages of each approach are outlined. Requirements for providing over-voltage and over-current protection for power supplies and tower-mounted equipment are described.

Readers of this application note will learn about:

  • Five different Distributed Base Station architectures
  • Surge protection devices designed to protect these architectures from damage due to lightning strikes
  • Mobile Switching Centers (MSCs), which connect mobile users to mobile users or mobile users to wireline users
