Agile RF, formally doing business as Agile Materials & Technologies Inc, develop tunable wireless components to enable commercial and military RF communications manufacturers to use a single wireless device to operate over a range of frequencies and formats. By using a single wireless device instead of a multi-mode system, customers will be able to reduce device size, power consumption, complexity and cost. Agile RF grew from a Defense Advanced Research Project Administration (DARPA) funded research project on Frequency Agile materials (FAME) at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and has successfully commercialized its method of harnessing the unique properties of Barium Strontium Titanate (BST), a thin-film ferroelectric material. Products developed by the company are used in cellular, Bluetooth, GPS/Wireless LANs/HYPERLAN, phased array antenna, and custom integration applications.
