Crystal
Oscillators 2008: The Decade Ahead (code: 0908)
"Crystal Oscillators 2008: The Decade Ahead" is an
assessment of the market for crystals and crystal-based oscillators. World shipments
and revenues is provided for each product type: crystals, uncompensated crystal
oscillators (XO), temperature compensated crystal oscillators (TCXO), voltage
controlled crystal oscillators (VCXO), and oven controlled crystal oscillators
(OCXO).
Each product type shipments are further delineated by end-application, stability, geographical consumption, regional output, output frequency ranges and packaging techniques. Crystal oscillators are also broken down according to output waveform types. Key end use and design trends are considered for each product type.

current and future impact of intelligent antennas on the wireless base station
and wireless user device markets. It provides a detailed analysis of existing
successes and past failures.
The study evaluates the technology's impact upon existing mobile markets, the
emerging WiMAX Standard, WiFi, point-to-point radio, and the developing 802.20
standard. Current mobile wireless base station deployment statistics are
provided and broken down according to region, technology, application, and air
interface. Forecasts are also given for shipments, market value, and
deployments of all intelligent antenna application segments. In addition, the
study addresses implementation paths and challenges to wider penetration.
Printed
Circuit Boards: World Outlook (844-F2)
"Printed Circuit Board: World
Outlook," examines the PCB industry today and the challenges the industry faces
tomorrow in emulating the innovations and efficiency being developed by many of
the end markets they serve.
Challenges inherent to designing and manufacturing even more miniature and complex boards and meeting the escalating demands from increasing the number of pins in a chip, the growth in high speed serial data streaming technologies, the use of bussed interfaces and clock rates higher than 400 MHZ, among other particulars, are examined in the study.
To meet these needs, the industry is now using Microvias and High Density Interconnects as well as mixed signal hybrid circuits and utilizing more sophisticated and multi-pronged design and development activities. The report provides details on these market facets as well as global revenues through 2012 for HDI/Microvia PCBs and the same for PCBs categorized by the sector they are intended for, such as telecommunications, PC hardware and peripherals.
The growth of PCBs is also being largely driven by the large use of multi-layered, flexible PCBs. In the report, the growth rate and revenues for PCBs are broken down into a multitude of categories, including whether they are built on rigid, flex, or rigid-flex boards, are single, double and multi-layer and which type of circuit design, analog, digital or mixed-signal, the board is intended for. The study also examines and provides growth rates and revenues for PCBs using different substrates such as Alumina, FR4, Beryllium Oxide, BT-Epoxy, Polyimide or PTFE/woven fiberglass.
The fate of PCB industry is closely tied with that of the overall electronics and semiconductor equipment market and the industry is easily influenced by competition as well as fluctuations in market demand. The report examines these factors and gives and analysis of future growth within the industry due to these influences.
PCB regional production and usage analysis of North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific Region, and the rest of the world is provided, noting the revenues brought in for PCB production in each region yearly through 2012 as well as the expenditures on PCBs for each region during the same time period.
"Printed Circuit Board: World Outlook" also examines the end-product for each type of board when broken down into flexibility, substrate and signal criteria as well as the advantages and disadvantages to each type of PCB characteristic, such as the use of a single board or Alumina as a substrate, and also provides the latest on CAD and contemporary PCB design tools.
WiMAX: 2008
Through 2013 (Code 844-F2)
This study
is an assessment of WiMAX equipment and service opportunities through 2013
within the mobile and traditional fixed wireless segments. Special attention is
placed upon the competitive position of mobile WiMAX verses existing and future
3GPP and 3GPP2 mobile platforms (HSPA, EV-DO, LTE and UMB) and the potential
impact 802.16e and 802.16m will have upon the mobile market.
Key trends and challenges to success are considered such as use of femtocells, availability of Wave 2 MIMO equipped devices, fixed vs. mobile services, spectrum availability, and potential for WiMAX within laptops and other devices. Analysis is also provided regarding the impact of mobile carriers' expected roll out of mobile WiMAX deployment.
The role of WiMAX within the traditional DSL/cable modem replacement segment is also carefully studied as this segment constitutes the industry's main revenue source. Also detailed is the expected growth on several traditional WiMAX bands and on new bands utilized for fixed and portable applications.
Mobile and fixed WiMAX base station annual shipments and cumulative deployments are given as are revenues for the yearly shipments with all figures segmented by region. WiMAX subscribers and revenues are quantified and segmented by application and also broken down according to region and radio band.
BWA subscribers and revenues are also given as are shipments and revenues for WiMAX phones, CPE, modems, and chipsets. WiMAX user device shipments and chipsets are segmented according to operating band, and standard revision (802.16e, "802.16d," and 802.16m). Wave 2 devices, chipsets shipments and revenues are also provided. All forecasts are given through 2013.
The study provides two sets of forecasts for all figures with one set assuming a more limited mobile WiMAX deployment.
Upper
Millimeter Microwave Radio:
Ready to Compete 2009 (Code 0509)
Advances in semiconductor
technology, favorable spectrum policy and demand for gigabit throughput
capabilities have created an opportunity for millimeter wave radio technology
to prosper. While mobile backhaul is one area of use in which upper millimeter
radio utilization will come to greater fruition, there are several other areas
that will grow quite significantly during the next five years.
This study is an assessment
of those opportunities for systems and technologies that operate in the 60 GHz,
E, Q, and/or W bands, with consideration for systems that operate above 100
GHz.
Existing and future applications are identified and assessed and key market opportunities in the mobile backhaul, wireless enterprise bridge, wireless fiber lateral emulation, government and public safety networks are studied in depth. Also examined are application areas such as automotive collision avoidance, security/airport imaging and personal area networks including the use of WirelessHD.
All application segments are quantified in either shipments, revenues or both through 2013. The world market for use of upper millimeter microwave radios for mobile backhaul is also segmented by year by region through 2013.
Alternative competing technologies and platforms to millimeter technology are also analyzed to reveal the strengths, weaknesses and expected marketing positioning of millimeter platforms when compared to these other technology choices.
The study also considers the long history of millimeter technology by identifying previous uses and barriers that have limited market success. Changes in technology, public policy and applications that have renewed interest in upper millimeter microwave radio and the commercial prospects for these segments are also spelled out. Brief profiles are also provided for leading component and system vendors in the upper millimeter microwave radio industry.
