Doherty amplifiers can improve energy efficiency in 5G basestation transmitters, argue Gareth Lloyd and Patrick Agyapong. Doherty amplifiers, especially those with two independently driven inputs, promise significantly better energy efficiency in 5G basestation transmitters and similar applications. Power amplifiers in basestations constitute 30‑60% of the cost and 20‑60% of the energy consumption of the transmitter infrastructure, so optimal design is ...

A new standard for audio-visual and ICT equipment spearheads a new hazard-based safety approach, says Clare Glittens. Technological innovation has seen the lines become increasingly blurred between previously distinct technologies. This change means that multimedia products often fall under both IEC 60065 (AV equipment) and IEC 60950-1 (IT equipment). A new standard, IEC 62368‑1:2018 (audio/video, information and communication technology equipment, ...
