We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "SAW filter",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Collaboration slashes GPS costs from
Cambridge Silicon Radio, which we summarised at the time by saying "CSR's software approach eliminates the need for a dedicated GPS baseband, reducing the cost of the module to less than half of what competitors are able to offer".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Single-stage TV tuner cuts consumption from
Maxim Integrated Products: "Highly integrated single-conversion television tuner for ATSC and NTSC applications covers the full 54 to 860MHz frequency range".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Murata Electronics (UK)
- take a look at SAW lab to help ISM band designers
which says: "Measurement facility has a team of RF engineers to support designers at all stages of their RF projects in the 300, 400 and 800MHz ISM bands".
Take a look also at the news release from CTi, Ceramic patch antennas ease GPS integration,
as well as Single-chip WiMAX transceiver claims a first from Maxim Integrated Products,
and Shrinking switches save wireless space from Peregrine Semiconductor.
