Abstract

As the number of mobile subscribers has increased recently, the demand for more number of base stations has increased. However, because of the shortage of sites for constructing base stations, a mobile communication module needs to be small in size. To minimize the size of the module, the size of the heat sink attached to the outside of the module should be minimized. Furthermore, the temperature of each electronic component of the module should be lower than the allowable temperature so that thermal stability can be maintained. A commercial PIDO (process integration and design optimization) tool PIAnO and a commercial CFD (computational fluid dynamics) tool FLOTHERM are used to minimize the size of the module while the constraints on the temperatures of the twelve electronic components are satisfied. As a result of design optimization, the volume of the heat sink is reduced by 41.9% while all the constraints on the temperature of the twelve electronic components of the module are satisfied.
