Resonant Inc. Expands XBAR® Performance to Address 5G-Wi-Fi Co-existence Issues
April 14 2020 - 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, today announced expanded
performance for its XBAR® high-frequency resonator for RF filters
that can manage the co-existence of 5G and Wi-Fi 6 and 6E networks,
protecting each from co-interference and the resulting degradation
in network performance.
Resonant’s ground-breaking XBAR technology enables unparalleled
wide operating bandwidth at high frequency. Resonant has
demonstrated measured results of the latest XBAR-based filters that
operate in frequency bands supporting either 5G or Wi-Fi up to 7000
MHz (802.11 ax) with bandwidths over 1000 MHz (18% relative
bandwidth). These filters also achieve low-loss (<1.5 dB) across
the band and excellent rejection to adjacent interfering
frequencies (>50 dB).
Resonator structures support acoustic resonance at defined
frequencies and are the foundational building blocks underlying all
acoustic-wave RF filters. This expanded XBAR resonator structure
was enabled by Resonant’s high-precision, multi-physics Infinite
Synthesized Networks (ISN®) RF filter design platform. The company
has also introduced its HiPower SAW innovation using ISN.
Filter Rejects Unwanted Signals
XBAR based filters’ rejection of interfering frequencies is
important because of emerging 5G and Wi-Fi infrastructure use
cases. The roll-out of the 5G n79 band as well as Wi-Fi 6E creates
significant interference and co-existence issues which require the
high-performance filtering enabled by acoustic-wave filters
As data consumption grows, the industry is adopting higher speed
wireless networks. According to the latest Cisco Internet Report,
the number of Wi-Fi 6 hotspots will grow 13 fold globally by 2023
to 628 million. In addition, average mobile speeds will more than
triple from 2018. This will drive a new range of wireless
infrastructure including base stations, access points and others
that will support both 5G and Wi-Fi. In these applications, the
filter must mitigate the interference between each signal to
prevent signal bleed, to allow operation across the full band.
Full Bandwidth for Wi-Fi 6 and 6E
In Resonant’s measurements, filters based on this new resonator
technology display wide bandwidth of up to the 1100 MHz needed for
high-frequency Wi-Fi devices, and demonstrated power handling
meeting the requirements of both Wi-Fi and 5G.
“Resonant is continuing its identification of innovative ways to
solve wide bandwidth, high frequency filter problems driven by the
insatiable appetite for wireless data. With XBAR technologies,
developed with ISN, the company is winning acclaim for laying the
foundation for RF filters that reach performance levels needed for
the next generation of filters for 5G and Wi-Fi while also
benefiting from using the most cost effective manufacturing
processes,” said George B. Holmes, Chairman and CEO of
Resonant.
Resonant has documented the performance of the XBAR resonators
in a recently posted whitepaper titled: High Frequency Resonator is
Foundation for High-Throughput 5G Services – And Much More.

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.
