Dr. Victor Plessky, Resonant’s Director of
Engineering & Founder of GVR Trade SA, to Present a New FEM
Simulation Method that is believed to be Highly Accurate and
Significantly Faster than Traditional Methods
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 that
Dr. Victor Plessky, Resonant’s Director of Engineering and Founder
of Swiss-Based GVR Trade SA, a wholly owned subsidiary of Resonant,
will present the Company’s recent breakthroughs in the development
of RF filters at the IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium in
Tours, France, on September 18-21.
At the symposium, Dr. Plessky will present a paper titled,
“Hierarchical cascading in 2D FEM simulation of finite SAW devices
with periodic block structure.” Electroacoustic simulation using
the finite element method (FEM) can be employed to develop surface
acoustic wave (SAW) filters and has the key advantage of being
highly-flexible; however, FEM simulations typically require
significant time and computing power. Dr. Plessky will present a
new FEM simulation method that the Company believes is
highly-accurate and significantly faster than traditional methods.
In the future, Resonant believes it will be possible to apply these
same techniques to other acoustic resonator technologies, such as
bulk acoustic wave (BAW) and Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator
(FBAR).
The presentation is based on a paper written by key researchers
at Resonant, including Dr. Panagiotis Maniadis, Dr. Balam
Willemsen, Dr. Patrick Turner, Dr. Bob Hammond and Neal Fenzi, as
well as Dr. Julius Koskela and Dr. Victor Plessky of GVR Trade
SA.
A leading driver of today’s RF filter market are smartphones
that can contain in excess of 30 RF filters to support the
increasing number of data bands used by carriers. This number of
filters is expected to nearly double in the coming years, which
will require more board space, increased product costs and higher
battery draw in the absence of more complex filter designs and
architectures.
“We expect Resonant’s simulation breakthrough to provide SAW
filter developers significant benefits by offering the ability to
quickly develop and iterate new products, thereby driving down
costs without sacrificing phone design flexibility,” said Terry
Lingren, CEO and Co-Founder of Resonant. “We’re excited to have
Victor introduce this key capability of our Infinite Synthesized
Network (ISN) platform to an international audience of peers and
showcase our ability to deliver some of the most sophisticated
techniques in advanced filter design available today.”
About Resonant® Inc.
Resonant is creating 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.
About Resonant’s ISN® Technology
Resonant can create designs for hard 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 (e.g. SAW) and can perform as well
as those using higher cost methods (e.g. BAW). While most of the
industry designs surface acoustic wave 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 about the
capabilities and uses of our simulation methods 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 ability to continue development of our methods and
technologies; the ability of our customers (or their manufacturers)
to fabricate filter designs created using our methods and
technologies 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 methods,
technologies and filter designs less useful or obsolete; and our
ability to find, recruit and retain the highly skilled personnel
required for our design process in sufficient numbers to support
our growth. 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
