Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator (FBAR) Filters, Duplexers, Multiplexers
and GPS Front-end Modules
Today’s smartphones face many challenges, including support for difficult LTE frequency
bands and the need for coexistence between multiple radio systems. The exceptional
performance of Avago FBAR filtering technology helps designers meet these challenges
by providing low loss filtering with steep rejection characteristics. Microcap wafer-to-
wafer bonding technology enables flexible, miniature packaging, including true chip-scale
WaferCap filters. FBAR filters are also combined with EpHEMT LNAs to create a line of high
performance modules that support demanding GPS and GLONASS applications.
Avago Technologies
created a new filter
technology with FBAR
that helps designers
solve tough filtering
problems.

Power Amplifier Modules and PA-Duplexer Front End Modules
Battery life is one of the most important issues facing designers of next-generation
mobile handsets. Not only is it inconvenient to frequently recharge the battery, but lower
power consumption in the power amplifier frees more energy for other features like large
displays. Avago has developed a technology called CoolPAM
TM
that helps to optimize
battery life by only turning on as much of the power amplifier as is needed, thus greatly
enhancing efficiency. Avago has over 15 years of design and manufacturing expertise
in power products, and offers power amplifier modules for many different applications.
Additionally, Avago has combined its industry-leading FBAR and CoolPAM. technologies to
offer a range of integrated modules By combine multiple “best in class” technologies and
optimizing partitioning and device interfaces, these devices can provide superior electrical
performance, allowing designers get their products to market faster, with less risk and
higher yields.
