　　Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Hereinafter referred to as “Murata”) has applied a new function to soil sensors, making measurements available for synthetic culture soil such as rock wool and coconut peat in addition to conventional soil. Provision will begin in September 2023.

murata New functions added to soil sensors

　　In recent years, the use of synthetic culture soil such as rock wool and coconut peat is popular for crops including tomatoes and strawberries. Since the water retention capability of these kinds of culture soil is extremely high compared to general culture soil, proper measurement of water content and EC*1 values was deemed difficult since it was difficult to have the sensor section contact with material.

　　*1EC: Electric Conductivity. The amount of ions in fertilizers can be measured through EC

　　Murata has provided software updates and added functions to the sensor section, enabling measurement of water content and EC values on rock wool and coconut peat. As a result, improvement of crop quality, increased yield, and resource saving can be achieved through optimal management of water and fertilizer resources in a wide range of cultivation environments. Murata will continue to develop sensors that meet the agricultural market needs and contribute to achieving sustainable agriculture.

Murata：SCH16T-K20 High-Precision 6-Axis IMU for Robotics and Camera Systems

　　Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has announced the expansion of its SCH16T series of high-performance inertial measurement units (IMUs) with the introduction of the SCH16T-K20, targeting industrial, prosumer, and consumer markets worldwide. Designed for OEMs in robotics, drones, and camera systems, as well as IMU module manufacturers and system integrators requiring safety-critical IMUs, the SCH16T-K20 delivers market-leading precision, mechanical robustness, and reliability.　　In demanding inertial measurement applications such as dead-reckoning navigation as well as drone and camera stabilization, small measurement errors can accumulate over time leading to unpredictable measurement results. In these applications, key IMU parameters such as noise density, offset bias drift, and vibration rectification ultimately limit the end-application performance and achievable response speed. Murata improves all the key areas with the new SCH16T-K20, which features a brand-new MEMS accelerometer and improved gyroscope temperature calibration.　　The SCH16T-K20 is a 6 axis IMU with a typical gyroscope noise density of 0.0004 (°/s)/√Hz, gyroscope bias instability of 0.3 °/h, and accelerometer noise density as low as 33 µg/√Hz. Like all other SCH16T products, the SCH16T-K20 has a wide operating temperature range from -40 °C to +110 °C, a supply voltage of 3.0–3.6 V, and I/O voltage of 1.7–3.6 V, and a compact size of 0.46 × 0.53 × 0.11 inch (11.8 × 13.4 × 2.9 mm).　　The driver behind the SCH16T-K20 accelerometer performance improvement is the brand-new accelerometer MEMS based on Murata’s proven 3D MEMS technology. The new MEMS uses a double-differential measurement principle, familiar from current SCA3400 and legacy SCA103T series sensors. The double differential measurement enables SCH16T-K20’s market leading low noise density, as well as thermal and lifetime stability.　　The SCH16T-K20 also includes an enhanced version of the market-leading low-noise SCH16T gyroscope, now tuned specifically for the -40 °C to +85 °C temperature range to enable low offset bias shift across that range. All SCH16T series products are carefully validated with a test set based on AEC-Q100 operating temperature Grade 1 (-40 °C to +125 °C) standards*, ensuring reliable operation over a wide temperature window. The series sensors include market-leading self-diagnostic features, making them suitable for safety-critical applications. Murata’s unique MEMS stands out in the competitive IMU market for its exceptional mechanical resilience to shocks and vibration rectification. The series’ robust design and reliability contribute to longer device lifespans and reduced waste.　　The SCH16T-K20 becomes the highest-performing variant in the SCH16T lineup while maintaining pin-to-pin and software compatibility. This compatibility makes integration of different SCH16T variants easy for OEMs and module designers. Mass production of the SCH16T-K20 is scheduled to begin in the first half of 2026. Murata will continue developing sensor solutions aligned with evolving market demands, contributing to safer, more sustainable, and higher-performing technologies across industrial and consumer markets.

Murata Launches World’s First Inner Cavity-Structure Ultra-Low-Loss LCP Flexible Substrate, Achieving Dk below 2.0, Contributing to 6G Realization

　　Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd announces the World’s First LCP (liquid crystal polymer) flexible substrate with an Inner Cavity structure, ULTICIRC, and has already begun mass production*. Murata’s proprietary design incorporates an Inner Cavity within the substrate to achieve a dielectric constant (Dk) below 2.0, dramatically reducing transmission loss.Cross-Section Image　　With 6G expected to leverage the FR3 (Frequency Range 3) band—roughly 7–24 GHz—substrates with minimal transmission loss are essential to enable high-speed, high-capacity communications at high frequencies. At the same time, demand is growing for thin, space-saving flexible substrates that support free-form mechanical design to meet the ongoing miniaturization of smartphones and communication equipment. Murata has provided LCP flexible substrates with excellent high-frequency characteristics, featuring a proprietary high-performance resin that eliminates spring-back and an adhesive-free, one-shot press multilayer lamination process; building on this expertise for 6G readiness, Murata has developed and launched ULTICIRC. Conventional flexible substrates faced the challenge that making them thinner resulted in increased transmission loss, but this product incorporates an Inner Cavity structure within the substrate, achieving a dielectric constant (Dk) below 2.0, which is significantly lower than Murata's conventional products, enabling both thin profiles and ultra-low transmission loss simultaneously.　　Furthermore, thanks to an adhesive-free proprietary manufacturing method and the excellent barrier properties of LCP, the Inner Cavity structure maintains high moisture resistance.　　For inquiries regarding this product, please contact us.

Murata develops integrated passive device for Semtech’s SX126X family

　　Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has developed a new integrated passive device (IPD) for use with the Semtech LoRa Connect™ SX126x family, which includes the SX1261, SX1262, and LLCC68 products. Using a proprietary low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) process, Murata has successfully replaced a series of discrete matching components of the SX1261/2 reference design with a single 2.00mm x 1.25mm size LTCC component.　　The IPD enables SX1261/2 radio designers to optimize for both size and performance using two dedicated parts. The LFB21892MDZ7F957 is optimized for US and European ISM bands, delivering the full output power for the US FCC bands. The LFB21892MDZ7F821 is optimized for Eurocentric designs that need to maximize the efficiency performance.　　“The Murata IPD offers the most efficient development path to realizing the full performance of the SX1261/2, featuring a miniaturized form factor that can significantly reduce board space,” says Arthur Kiang, Product Manager, RF Components, Murata. “The reduction in the number of matching components enables lower material costs and simplifies the design process, leading to shorter lead times. This integration also lowers the probability of soldering and manufacturing issues, as there is only one component to monitor in production.”　　“Semtech’s LoRa Connect™ SX126x family has become the trusted choice for LoRaWAN® networks and long-range IoT connectivity in applications from smart metering to industrial sensing,” says Carlo Tinella, product marketing director of wireless and sensing products at Semtech. “Murata’s IPD solution demonstrates the strength of our LoRa® ecosystem, helping radio engineers accelerate development while optimizing for both miniaturization and regulatory compliance. This partnership streamlines the path from design to deployment for millions of IoT devices being deployed globally.”　　Product samples are currently available, with mass production of the IPD commencing shortly.
