Qualcomm ultraBAW filter technology: Discover the full potential of 5G and Wi-Fi

As 5G and Wi-Fi evolve into a new generation of connectivity, an expanded range of new high band frequencies above 3 GHz are accessible for the first time. However, with higher frequencies comes new problems, like interference from neighboring frequencies which may cause signal drops, lag. and slow data speeds for uplink and downlink along with higher power demands. In order to harness the true power of these higher frequencies, a high-performance and precise filter technology is needed to reduce the amount of interference with a superior frequency selectivity and deliver a better thermal performance enabling more stable connections.

That’s where Qualcomm ultraBAW filter technology comes in. This groundbreaking RF filter expertly selects the optimal frequency to deliver faster data speeds, with less neighboring interference and better thermal performance allowing the best use of 5G and Wi-Fi together.

Qualcomm ultraBAW is the pinnacle of a  new generation of micro acoustic RF front-end filter technology. It was developed to help mobile devices operate on next-gen 5G NR frequencies and Wi-Fi bands up to 7.2 GHz and to expand Qualcomm’s comprehensive RFFE Filter portfolio empowering many types of products as power amplifier filter modules, diversity modules, Wi-Fi modules/filters/extractors and discrete filters. UltraBAW will not only complement our existing micro acoustic filters (Qualcomm ultra SAW, SAW, etc.) for full sub-7GHz performance, but also unlock a new range of 5G use cases in automotive, Wi-Fi, PCs, FWA, IoT, and more.

Qualcomm’s high-performance RFFE products are now more powerful than ever thanks to UltraBAW technology. We’re proud to deliver a comprehensive and unique modem-to-antenna 5G and Wi-Fi solution to our OEM partners. With Qualcomm’s industry-leading RFFE technologies, OEMs can reduce manufacturing costs and deliver the best quality devices to their users.
