Resonant Inc. Provides Update on Breakthrough XBAR™ Technology for 5G Mobile Devices
February 11 2019 - 7:05AM
Resonant Inc. (NASDAQ: RESN), a leader in transforming the way
radio frequency, or RF, front-ends are being designed and delivered
for mobile handset and wireless devices, provided an update related
to its breakthrough resonator technology, XBAR™, which holds the
potential for a new class of high-performance RF filters for 5G
devices.
“We first introduced XBAR resonators in October of 2018 and have
made significant progress,” stated George B. Holmes, CEO of
Resonant. “The first filters using our XBAR resonators have been
fabricated and current tests of these XBAR filters are
demonstrating the capability to handle the wider passbands required
for 5G. A key requirement, and critical for the realization and
adoption of 5G, is much larger bandwidth capability than is
currently available from existing filters. As such, we believe XBAR
filters will enable faster adoption of 5G, from sub-6 GHz to up to
30 GHz – an annual market we believe will grow to be more than $10
billion.”
XBAR Progress to Date
- First filters using XBAR resonators have been fabricated
- XBAR filters are successfully demonstrating greater than 500
MHz bandwidth at 5 GHz
- XBAR filters have a significantly smaller form factor than
competing dielectric-based filters
International Microwave Symposium (IMS)Dr.
Victor Plessky, Resonant Director of Engineering at GVR, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Resonant, has been invited to present at
IMS2019 a paper titled “Laterally excited bulk wave resonators
(XBARs) based on thin Lithium Niobate platelet for 5 GHz and 13 GHz
filters,” which presents measured data from XBAR resonators. The
symposium will take place on June 2-7, 2019 in Boston,
Massachusetts.
MWC 2019 Members of Resonant’s management will
be attending MWC 2019 in Barcelona from February 25-27 where they
will demonstrate the performance of XBAR filters for 5G
applications, to potential customers, analysts and media. To
arrange a briefing and demonstration of Resonant’s innovative XBAR
technology, please contact us.
About Resonant Inc.Resonant (NASDAQ: RESN) is
transforming the market for RF front-ends (RFFE) by disrupting the
RFFE supply chain through the delivery of solutions that leverage
our Infinite Synthesized Network (ISN) software tools platform,
capitalize on the breadth of our IP portfolio, and are delivered
through our services offerings. In a market that is critically
constrained by limited designers, tools and capacity, Resonant
addresses these critical problems by providing customers with ever
increasing design efficiency, reduced time to market and lower unit
costs. Customers leverage Resonant’s disruptive capabilities to
design cutting edge filters and modules, while capitalizing on the
added stability of a diverse supply chain through Resonant’s
fabless ecosystem-the first of its kind. Working with Resonant,
customers enhance the connectivity of current mobile devices, while
preparing for the demands of emerging 5G applications.

About Resonant’s ISN TechnologyResonant can
create designs for difficult bands, modules and other complex RF
Front End requirements that we believe have the potential to be
manufactured for half the cost and developed in half the time of
traditional approaches. ISN is a suite of proprietary mathematical
methods, software design tools and network synthesis techniques
that enable us to explore a much larger set of possible design
solutions that regularly incorporate our proprietary technology. We
then quickly deliver design simulations to our customers, which
they manufacture or have manufactured by one of our foundry
partners. These improved solutions still use Surface Acoustic Wave
(SAW) or Temperature Compensated Surface Acoustic Wave (TC-SAW)
manufacturing methods and perform as well as those using higher
cost manufacturing methods such as Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW).
Resonant's method delivers excellent predictability, enabling
achievement of the desired product performance in roughly half as
many turns through the fab. In addition, because Resonant's models
are fundamental, integration with its foundry and fab customers is
seamless because its models speak the "fab language" of basic
material properties and dimensions.
