Abstract
In this paper, we designed the accelerated life testing(ALT) and presented the lifetime prediction method of the RF SAW duplexer. We determined RF input power as an accelerated stress when designing an accelerating life testing and defined the lifetime of the duplexer as the period during which the insertion loss increased by 0.5[dB]. Lifetime prediction results of duplexer was estimated for 82,900hours at an ambient temperature of $85^{\circ}C$ and RF input power of 30[dBm].
