Resonant Infographic Shows Path to 5G Networks Offering Bandwidth of More Than 700 Mbps
June 09 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 released a new
infographic that details what is needed in a 5G “Wave 2” device to
deliver mobile bandwidth of more than 700 Mbps.
Today’s 5G “Wave 1” network is non-standalone (built on top of
an existing 4G network) and offers speeds of about 16 Mbps. When
3GHz and higher 5G frequencies are available, this performance can
increase to over 30 Mbps, and can double again to more than 60 Mbps
on mobile devices with multiple antennas.
This performance improvement is significant, but it’s not
sustainable. As more users join the network, interference increases
and this performance drops dramatically to just 19 Mbps. Overcoming
this interference with a 5G radio frequency (RF) filter and 3GHz
and higher 5G bandwidths can deliver throughput of over 700 Mbps –
which is true 5G “Wave 2” performance.
“Early mobile users have pointed out the drawbacks to 5G “Wave
1,” but we’re believers in 5G technology and put together this
infographic as a resource to show the importance of RF filters in
reaching the maximum 5G throughput and the true promise of the
technology,” said George Holmes, Chairman and CEO of Resonant. “5G
has many use cases, but by far the most important is video and
streaming media, which requires the maximum throughput.”
The infographic analysis utilizes the Shannon–Hartley theorem
which predicts the maximum data rate over a communications channel.
Inputs to the theorem include channel bandwidth (RF frequency),
number of channels (multiple antennas) and signal reception
quality.
The infographic also demonstrates the impact of interference on
5G “Wave 2” performance by measuring the download time for a 3GB
movie file. With the expected 5G “Wave 1” network performance
(19.2 Mbps), the movie file downloads in 20 minutes and 50 seconds.
With a 5G “Wave 2” network connection (more than 700 Mbps), the
same file downloads in just 34 seconds.
Resonant has developed its XBAR® resonator technology to provide
5G “Wave 2” performance in mobile devices and wireless
infrastructure. XBAR is critical to 5G “Wave 2,” delivering up to
hundreds of megahertz of bandwidth, support for high radio
frequencies, rejection of interfering signals and high power signal
for increased coverage.

About Resonant’s ISN® Technology Resonant can
create designs for difficult bands, modules and other complex RF
Front End requirements that we believe have the potential to be
manufactured for less cost and less time than 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.
