Miniaturization and High-Power Handling Capabilities
In a move to address the growing demand for smaller and more powerful electronic components, Kyocera has unveiled two new series of compact, thin-film band-pass filters โ the BP1206 and BP2816 Series. These innovative filters are designed to cater to the cross-market need for high-power band-pass filters with a miniaturized form factor.
The BP1206 Series boasts dimensions of just 1.6 x 0.8 x 0.6 mm, while the BP2816 Series measures 2.8 x 1.6 x 0.6 mm, making them among the smallest high-power band-pass filters available in the market. Despite their diminutive size, these filters offer impressive power handling capabilities, with the BP1206 Series rated for up to 2 W and the BP2816 Series capable of handling up to 5 W.
Applications Across Industries
The versatility of these compact, high-power band-pass filters opens up a wide range of applications across various industries. In the telecommunications sector, they can be used in base stations, small cells, and other wireless communication equipment, enabling more efficient and reliable signal transmission.
Moreover, the filters’ high-power handling capabilities make them suitable for use in radar systems and other high-frequency applications in the defense and aerospace industries. According to a report by MarketsandMarkets, the global RF filter market is projected to reach $3.9 billion by 2026, driven by the growing demand for advanced communication systems and radar technologies.
Beyond these traditional applications, the compact size and high-power handling of Kyocera’s new filters could also find use in emerging technologies such as 5G networks, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and wearable electronics, where space constraints and power efficiency are critical considerations.
Advanced Thin-Film Technology
The BP1206 and BP2816 Series band-pass filters leverage Kyocera’s advanced thin-film technology, which enables the creation of high-performance filters with exceptional precision and repeatability. The thin-film construction not only contributes to the filters’ compact size but also ensures high reliability and long-term stability.
According to a study by Grand View Research, the global thin-film technology market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% from 2022 to 2030, driven by the increasing demand for miniaturized electronic components and the need for energy-efficient devices.
By harnessing the power of thin-film technology, Kyocera has demonstrated its commitment to delivering innovative solutions that meet the evolving requirements of modern electronics design.
