Skyworks Solutions has developed a compact BAW filter for CPE that allow co-existence of WLANs and WiMAX networks in the same area. The filter solutions include the model SKY33107 which passes WiMAX signals (with typically 2-dB insertion loss) and rejects WiFi signals (by at least 42 dB) and the SKY33108 which passes WiFi signals (with 2.5-dB typical insertion loss) and rejects WiMAX signals (by typically 40 dB). The typical passband amplitude ripple for both filters is within 0.5 dB.

According to Stan Swearingen, Skyworks' Vice-President and General Manager, "WiFi and WiMAX are converging markets and OEMs have a critical need for both signals to co-esist on the same device. Skyworks is uniquely meeting this design challenge and has introduced filtering technology to address these requirements and, in turn, support a variety of applications including access points, PCMCIA cards, USB dongles, notebook and ultra-mobile personal computers, as well as femto and pico base stations."
