Webinar – From Acoustic Wave Filters to RF Front-End Modules: Patent Trends Shaping 5G/6G Connectivity

As 5G and future 6G networks increase RF front-end complexity, acoustic wave filters and RF front-end modules are facing growing demands for higher frequency operation, wider bandwidth, lower losses, better thermal stability and deeper integration. Based on KnowMade’s latest analyses of RF Acoustic Wave Filters and RF Front-End Modules & Components, this seminar will explore how patent activity up to 2026 reflects the evolution of competition from discrete acoustic devices to integrated RF front-end architectures. Key topics include SAW, BAW, FBAR, TFSAW, XBAR, temperature-compensated filters, multiplexers, packaging and module-level integration.

Particular attention will be given to the evolution of IP leadership between established Japanese and US RF players and fast-rising Chinese entities. While Murata remains the dominant IP leader in RF acoustic wave filters, companies such as Qualcomm, Skyworks, Qorvo, Taiyo Yuden, Huawei, MEMSonics, Newsonic, Sanan IC, RadRock, ROFS Microsystem and others are shaping a more multipolar competitive landscape. The webinar will also highlight recent patenting activity in 2025 across RF FE segments, including PA, LNA, SAW, BAW, RF switches, tuners, multiplexers and packaging.

By combining patent landscape analysis with annual monitoring insights, this session will provide a strategic view of where RF front-end innovation is heading, which players are strengthening their IP positions, and how emerging technologies may shape the next phase of 5G-Advanced and 6G connectivity.
