RF is any frequency associated with the propagation of a radio wave within the electromagnetic spectrum. Once an antenna is supplied with RF current, an electromagnetic field is generated, which can then spread through space. Many electronic devices are based on propagation of waves of radiofrequency. Video streaming, radio networking, and satellite communications applications are typically accomplished by the use of RF electronic components.Â
The primary use of RF test equipment is to test RF components and RF electronics to ensure their proper functionality. RF testing is conducted to ensure that a system is capable of operating properly in an electromagnetic environment and does not emit harmful electromagnetic radiation. Therefore, RF test equipment effectively tests equipment for RF wave tolerance and field strengths.
The global RF test equipment market is segmented on the basis of type, form factor, frequency, components, industry vertical, and region. Based on type, the RF test equipment market is divided into modular GP instrumentation, traditional GP instrumentation, semiconductor ATE, and rental GP. In terms of form factor, the market is categorized into benchtop, portable, and modular. On the basis of frequency, the market is divided into < 1 GHz, 1 GHz – 6 GHz, and > 6 GHz.Â
In terms of components, the market is categorized into RF analyzers, RF oscillators, RF synthesizers, RF amplifiers, RF detectors, and others. On the basis of industry vertical, the market is segregated into telecommunication, aerospace & defense, consumer electronics, automotive, healthcare, and oil & gas. Geographically, the market is analyzed across several regions such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East & Africa (LAMEA).
Top Impacting Factors
The RF test equipment market is driven primarily by the rapid growth of the telecommunications industry. Current telecommunication systems are focused mainly on wireless networking, which is carried out across a broad range of radio frequencies. Such frequencies are transmitted and received via various electronic devices activated for RF. With the growing need for connectivity, need for RF-enabled devices has risen at an enormous rate.Â
Additionally, the increasing demand for internet-connected and RF-enabled consumer electronics, such as cell phone, tablets, laptops, televisions and microwave ovens among many others, has also fueled the growth of the RF enabled components. However, growing standardization of radio frequency regulations, coupled with increasing number of bandwidths, has led to the need for advanced RF test equipment. Lack of such specialized equipment has also restricted the growth of RF test equipment.
It is estimated that the modular RF test equipment market would record the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to its features, such as the ability to handle and analyze large real-time data sets and high-precision performance. Modular instruments also have the capability to manage and analyze large real-time datasets. The launch of the PXI (Instrumentation PCI Extensions) standard as an extension of Compact PCI by National Instruments (US) has helped OEMs provide cost-effective equipment and well-performing modular device modules, which are among the primary reasons for its rapid development.
Most RF equipment complies with wireless standards IEEE802.11b / g / n, using a frequency of 2.4 GHz. Due to the growing demand for seamless communication with higher data rates, high demand is for Wi-Fi technology-based RF equipment that complies with IEEE802.11a wireless standards with a frequency range of 5 GHz to 6 GHz. For most industrial IoT-related applications, RF test equipment with a frequency range from 1 GHz to 6 GHz is thus used. These factors are driving growth of RF test equipment market with a frequency range between 1 GHz and 6 GHz.Â
It is expected that the growing focus on developing 5G-based devices and increasing the adoption of wireless communication in in-building communications will further drive RF test equipment market growth. Mobile data traffic is increasing due to enormous demand for bandwidth-based services and applications and handheld devices. Mobile operators need implementation of RF testing to improve the quality of the service by monitoring the transmitted output power, troubleshooting antenna and cable systems and analyzing the spectrum of interference sources.Â
