Spectrum Analyzer Market Analysis
Based on form factor, the market is segmented into handled spectrum analyzer, portable spectrum analyzer, and benchtop spectrum analyzer. In 2023, the handled spectrum analyzer segment dominated the market with a share of over 25%.
- Handheld spectrum analyzers are increasingly being tailored to application-specific requirements through customizable options, specialized accessories, and software-defined features. This customization allows users to optimize their analyzers for specific tasks, industries, and frequency bands, enhancing efficiency and productivity in their respective fields. For instance, in May 2023, Siglent developed its first handheld spectrum and vector network analyzer. It is suitable for portable handheld operation with an included battery pack for four hours of operation and is aimed at communication engineering, radio management, and telecom operation and maintenance.
Based on network technology, the market is divided into wired and wireless. Wireless segment is the fastest growing and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of over 10% between 2024 and 2032.
- With the adoption of millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies for 5G and other wireless applications, there is a growing need for spectrum analyzers capable of operating in the mmWave frequency bands. Spectrum analyzers with extended frequency coverage, high-resolution displays, and advanced signal processing capabilities enable accurate analysis and characterization of mmWave signals, facilitating the development and deployment of mmWave technologies. For instance, in September 2020, Rohde & Schwarz upgraded its R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyzer to 8.3 GHz internal analysis bandwidth. With the new R&S FSW-B8001 option, the R&S FSW high-end signal and spectrum analyzer supports 8.3 GHz internal analysis bandwidth.
