Advanced RF Filters For V2V And Other Automotive Applications

Automobiles rely more and more on a growing number of wireless technologies to communicate with the outside world. Long-term technology goals include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2X) communications for millions of automobiles as collision-avoidance and other intelligent transportation applications, which can be met using the IEEE 802.11p standard over the 5.9 GHz Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) band. Avoiding interference in these applications requires high-performance RF bandpass filters capable of operating at high frequencies. Download this application note discussing the characteristics of advanced of BAW filters to be used for V2V and other automotive applications.
