Global Pulse Generator Market 2016-2020

Overview of the global pulse generator market

Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global pulse generator market to exceed revenues of USD 88 million during the forecast period. Pulse generators are predominantly used as test and measurement electronic equipment. They provide ideal pulse waveform in the case of high-frequency applications to create predictable signal distortion for stress/margin testing. At present, the network traffic is growing at an exponential rate, which has led to the deployment of next-generation wireless standards such as 4G and 5G across the globe. The growing LTE subscriber base is adding test and measurement issues for IC designers that integrate the latest LTE standards. Such developments have accelerated the requirement for high-frequency signal generators including pulse generators to minimize design uncertainty and offer faster development of high-performing LTE products. LTE products have high data rates and are introduced to provide superior performance in phase noise. Several LTE device manufacturers are investing in test and measurement solutions to ensure that products are error-free and deliver high performance, subsequently aiding growth in the pulse generator market.

An increasing number of wars and transnational disputes across the globe has led to massive investments in advanced electronic warfare (EW) systems in the military and defense industry. Such growing investment in EW systems will result in new methods of generating and controlling EW signals, accelerating the demand for high-frequency pulse generators for testing and signal generation. The testing and analysis of EW equipment are crucial as it involves a high risk of life and property. As a result, the military and defense sector is using standalone pulse generators specifically designed for specific applications.
