How does the antenna-tower look like in these two cases? Can you please explain this with help of some block diagrams?

Nick,
What’s your application? Base stations? Mobile devices? IoT? There are quite a few companies doing 5G antennas.

Thanks for posting this information!
Just wondering if you know of any company making the Advanced Antenna System (AAS) aka Active antennas for 5G; particularly mmWave bandwidth (i.e. 28Ghz and 39Ghz).
Based on my understanding, Anokiwave makes the active 5G mmWave antennas, however, their antennas are very expensive (around $50K) and cover up to 28GHz, and we were also told their current model is about 2-3 years old and a newer version could come out (either by Anokiwave or other suppliers) soon.
