Summary
Ben Abbott is a Technical Director with 18 years of focused experience designing and developing Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technologies for RF filters and duplexers in mobile handsets. He has driven innovative tool and product development across leading RF companies including Skyworks, Qorvo, TriQuint and RF Monolithics, translating deep device-level expertise into production-ready solutions. Ben holds BSE, MSE and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Central Florida and has a long track record of shepherding SAW design methodologies from concept to commercialization. He excels at filter analysis, modelling and practical design optimization for cellular applications, and has contributed to both CDMA-era IF filters and modern RF duplexers. Based in Irvine, California, he blends hands-on engineering with technical leadership, often inventing custom tools to solve niche design challenges. An uncommon thread in his background is early creative craftsmanship—manual ceramic production—which reflects a tactile attention to detail that carries into his device design work.
