All IMS’20 workshops have been cancelled due to the Corona pandemic, see https://ims-ieee.org.
Microwave acoustic filters (SAW, BAW) are the prevailing filter technology in RF frontends of mobile handsets, due to their compactness, low price and high selectivity. To keep up with the demand for multiplexers, engineers are usually required to combine (off-the-shelf) SAW/BAW components with RF switches for a multi-band multiplex filter. In this competition, our sponsors […]
