NXP Announces All-in-One 5G mMIMO RF Power Amplifier Module
Published2019.10.04 09:12NXP Semiconductors has launched a portfolio of RF power multi-chip modules (MCMs) to support the development of large-scale MIMO active antenna systems for 5G base stations.
NXP's 5G Airfast solution is based on highly integrated technologies, such as compact power amplifiers, shortened design cycles, and simplified manufacturing processes.
"Paul Hart, Senior Vice President of Radio Power Solutions at NXP, said, '5G infrastructure networks are being deployed faster than in previous generations. NXP's large-scale 5G MIMO solutions provide the same frequency and power coverage, enabling NXP customers and network mobile operators to shorten time-to-market.'"
NXP’s RF power multi-chip module is a two-stage device with 50-ohm inputs and outputs that integrates Doherty, freeing it from RF complexity, eliminating the need for multiple prototype passes, and making it easier to predict the design in advance.
Pin compatibility is also possible, significantly enhancing design reusability. It appears that reducing the number of components will help simplify the construction of 5G base stations by avoiding unnecessary redundant testing, increasing yield, and significantly reducing the time required for quality control.
NXP stated that the newly announced all-in-one 5G mMIMO RF power amplifier module is an integrated solution featuring a PCB that is five times smaller than existing RF designs, and resolves size and weight-related issues for high-order mMIMO such as the 64T64R, which requires 64 power amplifiers per antenna.

KT and SME partners develop 5G RF repeaters, enhancing indoor 5G coverage.
KT has completed the development of a 5G RF repeater in collaboration with domestic small and medium-sized suppliers and integrated it with the commercial network. The RF repeater developed this time is a solution that improves 5G coverage and service quality by being installed in small indoor shadow areas where 5G base station signals have difficulty reaching, such as small buildings and underground parking lots. The key feature of the newly developed 5G RF repeater is that it performs digital signal processing for 5G signal relaying and base station synchronization extraction functions necessary for relay signal transmission/reception switching on a single integrated digital board. The integrated digital board supports precise filtering of wireless signals and output control functions, making it possible to meet 5G equipment specification requirements that were difficult to achieve with conventional analog methods.

European Patent Applications Surpass 200,000 for the First Time… South Korea Maintains 5th Place, Led by Batteries and Telecommunications
According to the European Patent Office (EPO)'s 'Technology Dashboard 2025', European patent applications last year reached 201,974, surpassing 200,000 for the first time. Korean companies and inventors filed 14,355 applications, representing a 9.5% increase from the previous year and maintaining 5th place by country. Battery, digital communication, and semiconductor technologies led the growth, with Samsung ranking as the top EPO applicant for the second consecutive year and LG reaching 3rd place. The presence of major domestic cities such as Seoul, Suwon, and Yongin was also confirmed. It was also revealed that Korea's European patent strategy is expanding beyond individual technologies to span the entire industry.

SK Telecom First Applies AI-Based Network Operations at Gwanghwamun K-Pop Concert
SK Telecom announced that it applied an AI-based network operation system for the first time at a large-scale K-pop concert held in the Gwanghwamun area of Seoul on March 21st, managing communication quality throughout the event. Mobile data usage during the three hours before and after the concert reached 12.15TB, approximately doubling compared to the same time slot the previous weekend. SK Telecom monitored traffic using the AI system 'A-One' in five-minute and 50-meter units to respond to potential overload situations, while also operating temporary communication facilities and on-site personnel in parallel. This case is interpreted as confirmation of the practical applicability of AI-based autonomous network operation in an environment where demand from dense events and foreign users increases simultaneously.
