World Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) Devices Market
Frost & Sullivan, March 2010, Pages: 103
This research service covers the World Surface acoustic Wave (SAW) Devices Market.
The research service analyzes the SAW components such as filters, resonators and oscillator devices. These markets have been analyzed in terms of market drivers, restraints, industry challenges, market metrics and competitive analysis. Market revenues for the base year 2009 and forecasts up to 2016 are also provided. Along with the market and technology trends the analysis also looks at distribution analysis, customer analysis, product type analysis, packaging trends, geographic trends, end-user trends, and pricing trends. The research service also provides the markets share of companies for the total SAW devices market and individual segments.
Market Overview
The world SAW filter market is growing primarily due to the mobile devices market. The emerging trends and technologies in the mobile devices market have necessitated the need for increasing numbers of SAW filters per device. Because filters form one of the basic components of any wireless communication equipment, the growth in the market is derived primarily from the growth of its application segments.
SAW filters are inherently rugged and reliable. Due to their operating frequencies and responsiveness set by photolithographic processes, SAW filters do not require complicated tuning operations. The performance advantages include small size, linear-phase low-shape factor, excellent rejection, and temperature stability. The SAW filters are required in electronic systems to transmit and receive various signals, which are likely to be voice, data or video to pass through the desired signal and reject unwanted signals that cause distortion and interference. The frequencies these systems transmit or receive are usually in the radio frequency (RF) range or the microwave range.
The growth of the SAW filter market is mainly attributed to the growth of the wireless communication industry. Rapidly emerging digital communications standards and technology improvements are providing the performance improvements necessary to address the overcrowding of existing cellular systems as well as increased functionality. The rapid growth of the wireless communication systems and the evolution of new-generation technologies and growing applications have increased the demand for the SAW filters.
In most applications, SAW filters offer capabilities unattainable by any other technology. Its advantage over traditional technologies, such as lumped constant filters, ceramic filters, and bulk acoustic wave include:
- Reduced size and weight of filters
- Higher selectivity
- Reliability and stability under harsh environments
- Lower distortion
- Precise frequency control
Market Definition
