Resonant has announced its breakthrough 5G filter technology – XBAR – will be introduced for the first time at the 2018 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium (IUS), to be held October 22-25, 2018, in Kobe, Japan.
The new breakthrough is a fundamentally novel resonator, the building block of an RF filter. The technology is important because it is designed to offer a cost-effective filter operating at frequencies of 3 GHz and higher, making it the first filter technology designed from the ground up for 5G.
Using its ISN technology, Resonant has developed this new structure, which in simulations outperforms best-in-class FBAR resonators. The company filed patent applications on the technology earlier this year.
More details of the technology will be made available at IUS and in a press release that will be issued on October 23, 2018.
