Resonant’s Director of Engineering Dr. Victor Plessky Awarded the 2020 C.B. Sawyer Memorial Award
June 15 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, announced today that Dr.
Victor Plessky, Director of Engineering, was awarded the
prestigious C. B. Sawyer Memorial Award for 2020 by the IEEE
International Frequency Control Symposium. The award recognizes
outstanding contributions in the development, production or
characterization of resonator materials or structures.
Dr. Plessky, who has been working with Resonant since the
company’s inception, originally consulting for the company before
Resonant acquired his company, GVR Trade SA in 2016, was recognized
for pioneering contributions to the development of Surface Acoustic
Wave (SAW) and micro-acoustic devices, including the prediction of
Surface Transverse Waves (STW), the theory of the “leaky” SAW in
periodic structures (i.e., the “Plessky equation”), and most
recently, the invention of XBAR®.
“We are extremely proud of Victor and his invaluable
contributions to acoustic wave devices and ultimately to the RF
front-end industry as recognized by this award,” stated George B.
Holmes, Chairman and CEO of Resonant. “His ‘Layers’ software was
foundational for Resonant’s Infinite Synthesized Networks® (ISN®)
design platform. The Full Finite Element Modelling Software of
Acoustic Wave filters using only materials properties and physical
dimensions incorporated into ISN provides an accurate simulation of
measured filter performance.”
Resonant’s XBAR technology is the latest innovation leveraging
its ISN platform. Accuracy of the model allowed Resonant to develop
the optimal resonator structure and subsequently filters derived
from these fundamental building blocks, for the new requirements of
wide bandwidth and high frequency for 5G and WiFi, for which
Victor’s contributions have been instrumental.
Dr. Plessky will be presented with his award on July 20, 2020,
at the IEEE IFCS ISAF 2020, a virtual joint conference of the IEEE
International Frequency Control Symposium and IEEE International
Symposium on Applications of Ferroelectrics. Prior award winners
include Warren P. Mason, who won the award in 1966 for his
contributions in quartz crystal devices, particularly in the field
of frequency selection and Rich Ruby, who won the award in 2010 for
the development of high-Q, miniature FBAR resonators, a
groundbreaking BAW technology for 4G and a predecessor of the XBAR
technology that was developed specifically to meet the exacting
demands of 5G. The full list of prior award recipients can be

his time working with Resonant. Here are some of those selected

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 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.
