R&D 100 Winner 2011: Microresonator Filters and Frequency References

"The next generation of mobile computing devices will require advanced radio frequency (RF) filter and oscillator banks covering multiple RF bands," said Roy H. Olsson III. "Our miniature acoustic resonators fill this need." Microresonators are small acoustic resonators that have highly precise sound and are manufactured using the same technologies that mass-produce integrated circuits (IC). Microresonator technology allows hundreds of filters and oscillators operating over a wide (32kHz - 10...
