First BAW Filters to Enable WiMAX and WLAN Co-Existence
Skyworks Solutions has introduced what it says is the industry's first bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filters for customer premise equipment (CPE) to allow co-existence between wi-fi and WiMAX networks. As both networks operate at very closely spaced frequency bands, these unique BAW filters reject the interfering frequencies while allowing the desired signals to pass for the selected network. more
