Introduction to SAW Filters for GNSS Supporting 1.6GHz Satellite Communication

Introducing the new product “SAW Filter for GNSS for Satellite Communication” for smartphones and communication devices developed by Kyocera.

Overview

To enable coexistence of satellite communications and GNSS in the 1.6 GHz band, Kyocera's unique TC-SAW technology developed by Kyocera was used to improve attenuation characteristics in the nearby frequency band.

Demand for satellite-compatible smartphones and communications equipment is expected to grow in the future.
The unique TC-SAW technology by Kyocera will continue to contribute to the realization of high-quality wireless communications.
