TriQuint is big in RF filters including bulk acoustic wave, surface acoustic wave and temperature compensated surface acoustic wave filters.

Starboard suggested TriQuint explore selling or restructuring power amplifiers; selling its Oregon plant and outsourcing manufacturing to a foundry; focusing on discrete components rather than modules; and exiting the “small, commodity” surface acoustic wave business.

Mirkin's team used the technique, reported online this month in Nature Communications, to make working electrical devices including inductors, capacitors, and surface acoustic wave transducers, and even drew a 9-millimeter-square map of the world.
