According to a recent study by Future Market Insights, global RF tester sales are expected to grow by 5.6% in 2019, with the telecommunications industry accounting for over one-third of the total sales. The report highlights a notable rise in demand for RF testers within the aerospace and defense sectors as well, driven by the extensive use of radiofrequency waves for satellite, telecommunication, and video broadcasting applications.
Increasing demand for RF testers in aerospace and defense is expected to grow by 7% in 2019, as these sectors rely on RF devices for high-accuracy communications in electronic warfare and military applications. RF testers are essential in ensuring the reliability of RF devices, which undergo stringent checks for parameters such as spectral purity, frequency coverage, and phase noise. This trend indicates significant growth opportunities for RF testers in both the telecommunications and defense sectors in the coming years.
Portables/Handhelds Gaining Ground in RF Tester Market
Advancing technologies have blurred the lines between conventionally used RF testers, i.e. spectrum analysers and oscilloscopes. Sales volume of oscilloscopes is more likely to be on a constant high in coming years. However, spectrum analysers will continue to account for a maximum share in the RF tester market, according to the volume-wise analysis.
Sales of conventional benchtop RF testers that currently account for more than half the total sales volume of RF tester market are likely to witness a moderate slowdown in coming years. The report opines that widening applicability of handheld/portable RF testers will eclipse that of benchtop RF testers, resulting in robust yearly growth prospects of the former against a steady outlook estimated for the latter in RF tester market. The study attributes positive demand growth outlook projected for handheld/portable RF testers to their high convenience as an accessible instrument on field.
R&D efforts targeting development of flawless communication networks have been instrumental in pushing the scope of innovations in RF tester market. While prerequisites of satellite communication and RF signalling continue to promote RF tester instruments that are based on advanced technologies, innovations are likely to be centred at their power, precision, and accuracy.
Leading innovators in the RF testing space are focusing on launching RF testers compatible for variable functionality, specifically meeting high-accuracy wide-range applications. Japan’s measurement solutions providing giant – Yokogawa Test & Measurement Corporation, recently introduced a new RF tester for wide-bandwidth range that specifically caters to the demands of aircraft power systems.
FMI forecasts more than 800 thousand RF tester units to be sold by the end of 2027. During 2019-2027, the global RF tester market has been anticipated to observe a 6% CAGR in terms of volume.
