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, has announced that its
patented 5G XBAR® filters, for non-mobile applications have been
successfully manufactured by two different foundry partners using a
standard surface acoustic wave (SAW) front end process.
Resonant’s unique ability to manufacture a
complex 5G filter on a SAW front end process was made possible by
the company’s EDA multi-physics (software) platform, Infinite
Synthesized Networks® (ISN®).
Both partners manufactured Resonant’s XBAR
filter, which was designed for the non-mobile n79 5G band, which
pertains to applications such as infrastructure, WiFi CPE and
automotive, among others. To date, six separate foundries have now
successfully manufactured Resonant’s XBAR filters. Resonant’s XBAR
filters have previously been manufactured on a MEMs process line,
as utilized by Resonant’s industry-leading partner Teledyne. The
collaboration with Teledyne continues as we expand the capabilities
of the non-mobile XBAR technology.
According to Yole Development, the processes
that SAW foundries utilize are widely recognized as the cheapest,
easiest, fastest and highest volume production method available for
acoustic filters in today’s growing $15 billion filter market. The
simplicity of the SAW manufacturing process generally experiences
higher yields, cheaper material costs, less manufacturing steps,
and therefore, reduced time-to-market than required by the bulk
acoustic wave (BAW) filter manufacturing process, whether industry
standard poly-crystalline or new single-crystalline structures.
“This technological breakthrough—which for the
first time demonstrates the production of high-performance 5G
filters on a standard, off the shelf SAW front end
process—fundamentally validates Resonant’s ability to produce
filters faster, better and cheaper,” said George B. Holmes,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Resonant. “Our ISN software
platform has allowed us to crack the code of complex filter
technology, while using only proven, high-volume manufacturing
processes—as opposed to traditional BAW foundry processes which are
more complex and expensive than SAW processes.”
Resonant believes that XBAR is the only
available RF filter technology today that can innately or natively
meet the complex requirements for bandwidth and performance
demanded by 5G applications. In addition, this breakthrough
showcases that Resonant’s high performance, high frequency, and
wide bandwidth XBAR technology can, for the first time ever, be
produced on a basic, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) SAW
process.
Holmes, continued: “We expect this milestone to
pave the way towards high-volume commercialization of our patented
XBAR filter technology for non-mobile applications, while driving
continued innovation and creating unmatched, high-performance
filter designs to meet the unique demands of true 5G.”
The n79 band XBAR filters manufactured
demonstrate minimum insertion loss of <1 dB, 600 MHz bandwidth
from 4400–5000 MHz (>12% fractional bandwidth) bandwidth, and
high rejection, resulting in superior full bandwidth performance,
maximizing data speed by minimizing signal loss and interference,
an additional benefit being longer battery life.
The partners that manufactured the n79 band XBAR
filters were both part of the Resonant Foundry Program, and the
results closely mirrored the simulations performed in Resonant’s
proprietary ISN software platform.

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.
