Radio frequency signal processing (RFSP) currently involves a mix of components with differing operation principles, which hinders miniaturisation. Here, Hackett et al. succeed in creating acoustic non-reciprocal circulators, amplifiers, and passive filters, paving the way for all acoustic single-chip RFSP.
