The global RF multiplexer switch market was valued at US$ 660.7 Mn in 2018 and is expected to reach US$ 1092.0 Mn by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period.
RF multiplexers (MUX) primarily provide a way for multiple RF signals to enter a controlled switch providing a selection of which input can pass through to the desired output(s). RF multiplexer switch modules are ideal for high-channel-count applications that need to connect measurement or signal generation instruments to various test points on devices or units under test. It is critical for the multiplexer to have a large bandwidth to contain all the RF energy.
It is important that the MUX has low insertion low, low return loss, and maintained a 50-ohm impedance throughout the system to prevent any unwanted reflections caused by the MUX, which is usually specified by the return loss and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR). The RF multiplexer switch market is growing at a significantly higher rate due to the increasing benefits provided by MUX such as unmatched signal integrity, use less mainframe slots and reduce signal paths and flexibility and adaptability to meet test system needs.
Further, companies are investing in research & development and developing strategies to develop innovative products and services to enhance product portfolio. For instance, In June 2018, NXP Semiconductors NV launched new RF GaN wideband power transistors and expanded its Air fast third-generation Si-LDMOS portfolio of macro- and outdoor small-cell solutions to enable the next-generation 5G mobile networks.
However, market growth is expected to be hindered by a factor such as insufficient bandwidth resulting in misrepresentation of the original RF signal.
