Signal generators are key for testing and maintaining electronic devices in the telecommunications, defence, and automotive industries. The market, worth $1.39 billion in 2023, is projected to reach $1.98 billion by 2028. This growth is fuelled by advances in telecommunications, aerospace, defence, and the integration of IoT and 5G technologies. Innovations like the super high frequency signal generator (SHFSG) are pushing the market towards specialised applications. Agilent Technologies and Ametek Inc. are leading this trend, especially in Asia-Pacific.
The significant advancements in the electronic testing and signal generation field were driven by the introduction of vector signal generators and other sophisticated tools, enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and usability. The N5186A MXG, part of Keysight’s X-Series signal generator lineup, represents the next generation of high-performance vector signal generators (VSGs). It delivers multiple, individually complex signals essential for dense wideband multichannel applications. These technologies, boosted by better digital-to-analogue conversion, increased processing power, and advanced software algorithms, have made signal generators more integrated, user-friendly, and versatile. Incorporating AI and IoT has further transformed their functionality, enabling automated, interconnected testing environments crucial for supporting the rapid development cycles in modern electronic industries.
