Akoustis presenting AlGaN-on-Si BAW filter technology at RFIC Symposium

Akoustis Technologies Inc of Huntersville, NC, USA (in the Piedmont technology corridor between Charlotte and Raleigh), which manufactures patent-pending BulkONE single-crystal piezoelectric bulk acoustic wave (BAW) RF filters for mobile wireless applications, says that chief device scientist Dr Rama Vetury is a featured presenter at the IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits Symposium (RFIC 2016) in San Francisco, CA, USA (22-24 May) as part of Microwave Week 2016. The presentation takes place on 23 May in session RMO2A-1 (10.10-10.30am PST) at the Marriott Salons 1–3. 

During the presentation 'Single Crystal AlGaN Bulk Acoustic Wave Resonators on Silicon Substrates with High Electromechanical Coupling', Vetury is highlighting the firm's single-crystal RF resonator technology, recent technical milestones, and its application to wide-bandwidth, high-frequency RF filter applications for mobile communications.

Akoustis is also providing an update on the development of a new class of BAW-based RF filters based on patented, highly differentiated high-purity single-crystal piezoelectric materials. Targeting the fast-growing multi-billion-dollar market of device OEMs, network providers and consumers, the firm's BulkONE technology aims to reduce front-end phone heat, battery drain and signal loss – which are all considered to be directly related to the limitations of existing RF filter technologies.
