TriQuint Semiconductor Inc., a leading RF solutions supplier and technology innovator, has released three new bulk acoustic wave (BAW) RF bandpass filters that can handle more power while providing greater temperature stability and superior signal rejection for high performance infrastructure applications.

TriQuint’s new filter solutions fully exploit the benefits of BAW technology, which is superior to other products available for these applications. TriQuint BAWs provide greater temperature stability at microwave frequencies in addition to a compact footprint. They are well suited for use in base stations, repeaters, distributed antenna systems, tower-mounted amplifiers and many other wireless applications. All three BAW filters have narrow transition bandwidths between their passbands and stopbands for better signal rejection, and do not need external 50 Ohm matching circuits.
