5G Device Testing Market Trends:
Requirement for EMI protection and EMC testing of 5G equipment
Although 5G technology and its predecessor share many similarities, there are also significant variations between the two standards that necessitate new testing methods. For instance, 5G equipment will need to be insulated from Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and tested for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), just like any other telecommunications equipment. Radio frequency (RF) systems, electrical systems, and electronic equipment all suffer from the effects of electromagnetic emissions.
All electronic equipment releases some quantity of electromagnetic radiation because the electricity in a circuit can never be completely contained. This implies that any equipment may be susceptible to the emissions of other electronics and electrical systems as well as having the capacity to produce disruptive electromagnetic fields. Manufacturers are required to demonstrate their compliance with EMI and EMC testing regulations prior to releasing a finished product on the market, in turn creating demand for 5G device testing.
Restraint: High cost of equipment and lack of skilled workforce
The cost of 5G testing equipment is more than just the purchasing price, which is the amount paid for hardware and software at installation. Approximately, 80% of the total IT cost is incurred after the initial purchase. This high cost of technology-related equipment may hamper their adoption and consequently restrain the growth of the 5G device testing market.
With the adoption of 5G technology, businesses can expect significant increases in component costs in the coming years, which would restrain the growth of the 5G device testing industry. The development, management, and implementation of 5G device testing equipment, which are complex, require a workforce with certain skill sets. The scarcity of a skilled workforce is a more significant challenge in emerging economies as compared to countries, such as the US and Germany. The lack of a skilled workforce in this field may act as a restrain for the growth of the wireless testing market.
Opportunity: Rising demand for 5G network in automobiles, smart cities, and healthcare sector
5G network offers features such as high-speed data transfer rate, low latency, and consistent connectivity-all easily manageable with previous-generation technology. These features are useful across various industries. For instance, in autonomous cars/connected cars, the low latency of 5G networks is critical to implement safety systems and real-time V2V and V2I communications.
In smart cities, there are dense arrays of wireless sensors that enable various services and applications, right from environmental services and pollution monitoring to security surveillance, traffic management, and smart parking. Apparently, 5G infrastructure plays an integral role in meeting various requirements of several connected devices and numerous sensors that are being deployed. Furthermore, in healthcare, 5G networks could become a revolutionary development. For instance, a 5G network can help avail services such as telemedicine and emergency care providers in an emergency situation. The wide adoption of 5G networks in different business segments would further increase opportunities for the 5G device testing market.
Challenge: Complexity in developing new 5G testing products
5G NR has two types of waveforms: Cyclic-prefix OFDM (CP-OFDM) and Discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM). CP-OFDM is for downlink and uplink while DFT-S-OFDM is only for uplink. The generation, distribution, and generation of 5G waveforms across design and test benches presents new issues for researchers and engineers working on 5G device testing. With greater bandwidths than ever before, engineers are working with extremely complicated, standard-compliant uplink and downlink signals.
They comprise various resource distributions, modulation and coding schemes, phase-tracking, sounding, and demodulation data, single-carrier configurations, and contiguous and non-contiguous carrier-aggregated arrangements. Also, these 5G device testing equipment are required to wideband and linear and cover extensive frequency range which is quite complex and cost-intensive. Although the mass-market semiconductor business has not yet investigated this area, RF experts have been working with specialized and expensive test devices for mmWave in sectors such as aerospace and defense. To set up more test benches, engineers require affordable test equipment. Thus, the wide waveforms and extensive frequency ranges in 5G makes development of a universal or multitasking testing very challenging.
5G Device Testing Market Segment Analysis
Spectrum Analyzers is expected to contribute the largest market share during the forecast period
A spectrum analyzer is a 5G testing equipment that measures and screens the signal amplitude, which portrays the strength of the signal as it varies within its frequency range and spectrum. In other words, spectrum analyzers portray the spectrum of signal amplitudes on different frequencies. It analyzes if the signal falls under the required range limit. It can be easily connected to wireless devices and analyze electromagnetic signals to fuel segment growth
Telecom equipment manufacturer segment is expected to grow with highest CAGR during the forecast period
5G device testing by telecom equipment manufacturers is used for infrastructure devices such as base stations and consumer premise equipment, such as routers, gateways, switches, transceiver stations, gNodeB (gNB), small cells, and remote radio unit heads, before their deployment for network services.
5G testing is increasingly being used in telecommunications infrastructure. Interconnection testing, conformance testing, interactive voice response (IVR) testing, performance testing, security testing, interoperability testing, protocol testing, and functional and automation testing are carried out in this segment. 5G test equipment manufacturers offer a wide range of products, such as network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators, to fulfill the testing requirements of infrastructure providers.
