This Frost & Sullivan research service titled World Signal Generators and Arbitrary Waveform Generators Markets provides an overview of the various market segments in the market and includes the analysis of the market based on geographic regions and end users. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following markets: RF SG, microwave SG, and AWG.

Arbitrary Waveform Generators to Lead from the Front in the Signal Generators and Arbitrary Waveform Generators Markets

The signal generator (SG) market has found the going good in the Asia Pacific region, especially China, due to the shift in manufacturing to this region for its cost advantage. The vast population and the increasing use of Bluetooth and wireless services are rapidly expanding the customer base in this region, creating a substantial business case for SG and arbitrary waveform generator (AWG).

In the $667.2 million global market, radio frequency SG (RF SG) accounted for 52.6 percent of the revenues in 2007. However, the AWG segment posted higher growth rates and is expected to take the market forward. The AWG segment is likely to benefit from complex digital modulation technology. As wireless products are expected to bond with digital radios, there will be increased development of higher performance instruments and thereby, greater demand for AWGs.

Commercial Wireless Communication Applications Give a Leg up to the Market

The RF SG market has gained significantly from the rolling out of wireless networks and standards. "With the rapid development of technologies such as wireless interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX), 3G wireless, global system for mobile communication (GSM), enhanced data rates for GSM evolution (EDGE), and wideband code-division multiple access (WCDMA), the general-purpose test equipment market and more specifically, the SG market is expected to witness steady growth," says the analyst of this research. The successful running of these wireless communication applications will depend on network security, which brings RF SG into play.

To fully penetrate the market, SG and AWG companies need to educate customers about new technologies and products, since most end users are reluctant to invest in high-end products, unless compelled. "There are several emerging lower-end vendors that provide equipment with a particular technology to serve the immediate need of the customer," notes the analyst. "Educating end users on the advantages of standardized equipment can counter the challenge from such companies and pave way for higher market growth in the future."
