AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 6,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Resonant Inc. (NASDAQ: RESN), a provider
of radio frequency (RF) filter solutions developed on a robust
intellectual property platform, designed to connect People and
Things, has expanded its multi-year commercial partnership with
Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., the world's largest RF filter
manufacturer, for the development of 5G XBAR® RF
filters.
The expanded agreement targets RF filter designs utilizing
Resonant's proprietary XBAR® technology across
additional bands.
"Extending our agreement with Murata is a tremendous validation
of our partnership and XBAR® technology as we continue
working together to build a high-volume manufacturing platform,"
said George B. Holmes, Chairman and
CEO of Resonant. "Murata continues to be an excellent strategic
partner to leverage our XBAR® technology, specifically
developed to meet the exacting demands of the wide bandwidth, high
frequency RF market required by next generation wireless networks.
This agreement brings us one step closer towards XBAR®
technology reaching the market with dominant scale and solving many
of the challenges next-generation networks face today."

About Resonant's XBAR® Filter
Technology
Resonant pioneered a novel Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) filter
technology, XBAR®, to meet the challenging and complex
RF front-end requirements of next-generation 5G, Wi-Fi and UWB
networks and beyond. 4G BAW filter structures have traditionally
been used at frequencies up to 3GHz and adapted to filter higher
frequency bands, which has presented significant performance and
capability challenges. Using WaveX™, Resonant evaluated various
resonator, filter building blocks for wide-bandwidth,
high-frequency and high-power filter designs.
XBAR® was the result of these extensive studies –
the optimal next-generation filter technology.
XBAR® is the first and only RF filter solution
that has natively demonstrated the performance necessary to fully
realize the potential of next-generation wireless technologies,
including 5G and Wi-Fi 6/6E. In addition, future wireless networks
will continue to move to wider bandwidths, higher frequencies and
added complexity, which will further increase the demand for
XBAR® filters. Unlike traditional BAW filters which
require complex, multi-step manufacturing processes.
XBAR® filters are much simpler to manufacture and hence
can leverage SAW foundries.
Resonant continues to protect XBAR® technology
through the fundamental patents and trade secrets associated with a
disruptive technology, in addition to the intellectual property
associated with know-how and expertise developed subsequently.
About Resonant's WaveX™ Design Technology
Resonant
creates designs for difficult RF frequency bands and modules that
meet challenging and complex 5G, Wi-Fi and UWB RF front-end
requirements. Using WaveX™, Resonant's designs have the potential
to be developed in half the time and manufactured at a lower cost
than traditional approaches. WaveX™ is a suite of proprietary
algorithms, software design tools and network synthesis techniques
that enables Resonant to explore a much larger set of possible
design solutions.
Resonant delivers rapid design simulations to its customers,
which they manufacture in their captive fabs or have manufactured
by one of Resonant's foundry partners. These improved solutions
still use Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) or Temperature Compensated
Surface Acoustic Wave (TC-SAW) technologies with the performance of
higher cost manufacturing methods like Bulk Acoustic Wave
(BAW).
Resonant's WaveX™ delivers excellent predictability, enabling
achievement of the desired product performance in roughly half as
many turns through the fab. In addition, Resonant's simulations
model fundamental material and structure properties, which makes
integration with foundry and fab customers much more intuitive,
because they speak the "fab language" of basic material properties
and dimensions.
