Business Wire
Resonant Inc. (NASDAQ: RESN), a designer of filters for radio
frequency, or RF, front-ends that specializes in delivering designs
for difficult bands and complex requirements, today announced the
addition of Andrew Kay as Vice President of Engineering
Operations.
Mr. Kay comes to Resonant with over 15 years of relevant
management experience in RF filter engineering and packaging. Since
2002, Mr. Kay was at Skyworks Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: SWKS), a
provider of high performance analog semiconductors, where he worked
in a variety of engineering capacities, most recently as Director
of Component Engineering. Prior to Skyworks, Mr. Kay was a senior
engineer at Conexant Systems Inc. and Intel (NASDAQ: INTC). Mr. Kay
holds a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from
Brigham Young University and is a widely published author on RF
device and integrated circuit technical topics.
“We look forward to leveraging Andrew’s unique skill set in high
volume manufacturing and industry expertise,” said George B.
Holmes, CEO of Resonant. “Given the growing number of new Fabless
Filter manufacturing customers and designs we are supporting, we’ve
continued to invest in our core infrastructure and believe he is
the perfect fit as our newly created Vice President of Engineering
Operations position. In this new position, Andrew will be reporting
to Neal Fenzi, one of the company’s Founders who leads Resonant’s
engineering teams.”
“It’s an exciting time to join Resonant, as it continues to
experience significant growth in new customers as well as designs,”
said Mr. Kay. “Together, I look forward to helping the team
continue building a scalable engineering infrastructure to support
our anticipated growth from the explosive demand for high yielding
filter designs.”
About Resonant Inc.
Resonant is creating software tools and IP & licensable
blocks that enable the development of innovative filter designs for
the RF front-end, or RFFE, for the mobile device industry. The RFFE
is the circuitry in a mobile device responsible for the radio
frequency signal processing and is located between the device’s
antenna and its digital baseband. Filters are a critical component
of the RFFE that selects the desired radio frequency signals and
rejects unwanted signals and noise. For more information, please

About Resonant’s ISN® Technology
Resonant can create designs for difficult bands and complex
requirements that we believe have the potential to be manufactured
for half the cost and developed in half the time of traditional
approaches. The Company’s large suite of proprietary mathematical
methods, software design tools and network synthesis techniques
enable it to explore a much bigger set of possible solutions and
quickly derive the better ones. These improved filters still use
existing manufacturing methods (i.e. surface acoustic wave (SAW)
and/or temperature compensated surface acoustic wave (TC-SAW)) and
can perform as well as those using higher cost methods (i.e. BAW or
FBAR). While most of the industry designs filters using a
coupling-of-modes model, Resonant uses circuit models and physical
models. Circuit models are computationally much faster, and
physical models are highly accurate models based entirely on
fundamental material properties and dimensions. 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 eased because its
models speak the “fab language” of basic material properties and
dimensions.
Safe Harbor/ Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements, which
include the following subjects, among others: the capabilities of
expected growth in demand for our designs and technologies.
Forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this document
and are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties which could
cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the
following: our limited operating history; our ability to complete
designs that meet customer specifications; the ability of our
customers (or their manufacturers) to fabricate our designs in
commercial quantities; the ability of our designs to significantly
lower costs compared to other designs and solutions; the risk that
the intense competition and rapid technological change in our
industry renders our designs less useful or obsolete; our ability
to find, recruit and retain the highly skilled personnel required
for our design process in sufficient numbers to support our growth;
our ability to manage growth; our ability to invest resources in IP
protection and enforcement; and general market, economic and
business conditions. Additional factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those anticipated by our
forward-looking statements are under the captions “Risk Factors”
and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations” in our most recent Annual Report (Form
10-K) or Quarterly Report (Form 10-Q) filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are made as of the
date of this release, and we expressly disclaim any obligation or
