INTRODUCTION
The advancement of wireless communication technology has led to the widespread use of remote radio units in various applications. These units, also known as RRUs, are integrated frequency units that connect to an operator's network through user mobility devices. By utilizing RRUs, mobile network operators can improve coverage, reduce latency, and enhance signal quality. This ultimately increases network efficiency and reduces costs associated with capital expenditures and operating expenses. Tri-Band Remote Radios, as their name suggests, operate on three different frequency bands simultaneously. These radios play a crucial role in modern wireless communication networks by transmitting and receiving signals between the base station and user devices. The ability of triband remote radio units to handle multiple frequency bands simultaneously has gained significant attention. Furthermore, the implementation of Massive MIMO technology enables the simultaneous transmission and reception of multiple data streams, allowing a large number of users to enjoy fast and reliable connections simultaneously.In this project, we performed FEM analysis to check strength of the triband antenna model for the given load conditions. FEM analysis is carried out as per the load conditions provided by the customer. We carried out Modal Analysis, Sine sweep Analysis (Harmonic Analysis), Random Vibration Analysis, Shock Analysis, Seismic Analysis, and Wind load Analysis.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Our esteemed Client is a subsidiary of the renowned TATA group, which happens to be Indias largest conglomerate. They are currently engaged in the development of a cutting-edge Triband 5G Remote Radio Unit (RU) that complies with the ORAN 7.2x standards. Recognizing our expertise in the field, the Client has entrusted us with the responsibility of conducting Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for an assembly comprising the Remote Radio Unit, mounting pole, and antenna. The primary objective of this analysis is to thoroughly examine the dynamic behavior of the Triband Remote Radio Unit and ensure its optimal performance and reliability, in strict accordance with the industry standards outlined in ETSI EN 300 019-2-4 V2.4.1. We are honored to have been chosen for this significant project and are committed to delivering exceptional results.
ETSI EN 300 019-2-4 V2.4.1 STANDARDS
In the Telecom Industry, the European Telecommunication Standards (ETSI EN 300 019-2-4 V2.4.1) is widely recognized as a standard of utmost importance. It plays a critical role in ensuring the reliability and performance of equipment. By delving into this standard, Engineers can develop a comprehensive understanding of its significance and how it contributes to maintaining equipment integrity in various environmental conditions.
FEA MESH
FEA model of the enclosure assembly of Triband Antenna consists of approximately 3.8 million nodes and 2.1 million elements, utilizing higher order Tetrahedral and Hexahedral elements. To ensure proper functionality, appropriate contacts have been defined between all the parts in the assembly. Furthermore, the necessary material properties and boundary conditions have been applied.
MODAL ANALYSIS
Modal Analysis: Modal Analysis looks for Natural Frequencies and Normal modes of a structure. We can find the natural frequencies of an object so that we can create or avoid resonance. 99% of the time we want to avoid resonance to protect the structure.
