Overview

Xpeedic will showcase its latest RF solution at the IMS 2023 in San Diego, CA, June 11-16.

The annual IMS Exhibition is held in conjunction with the IEEE MTT International Microwave Symposium (IMS), RFIC, and ARFTG Technical Symposia and offers an excellent opportunity for all segments of the microwave community to meet. 

MicroApps Session

• WEMA23： Overview of Integrated Passive Devices (IPD)for RF Front-end Applications

• Speakers：Feng Ling, Lijun Chen (Xpeedic)

• Location：MicroApps Theater, Booth 2447

• Time：15:00-15:15, Jun 14

• Abstract：Integrated passive devices (IPD) have been prevalent in RF front-end modules in both cellular and wireless connectivity applications due to its advantages in terms of compact size manufacturing consistency, integration capability, and low cost. Various technologies such as high-resistivity silicon based and through-glass-via (TGV) based IPD have been developed. Their use in RFFEM for 5G NR filters will be demonstrated and compared. Besides the cellular applications,IPD for IoT and wireless connectivity market is also introduced. Integration of multiple passive functions such as balun, divider, filter, and matching network enables IPD as an all-in-one die for this type of application.
