North America Bulk Acoustic Wave Sensors Market Analysis and Size
Micro-meter-sized airborne particles can be detected using bulk acoustic wave (BAW) devices. A piezoelectric substance sandwiched between two electrodes makes up the resonator of a BAW device. To create a mechanical wave in the resonator, an alternating electric field is applied to the piezoelectric layer using the two electrodes. The resonator displays a resonance frequency that, among other things, is influenced by the mass load. A frequency-sensitive circuit may identify the shift in resonant frequency that results from particles touching the resonator by measuring the change in mass load.

Market Definition
A standing acoustic wave is known to be produced by an electrical signal in the bulk of a piezoelectric material in an electromechanical device known as a bulk acoustic wave sensor. This device is in its most basic form, consisting of two metallic electrodes and a piezoelectric substance. The thickness and natural frequency of the material are used as design criteria to achieve the desired operating frequency. More complex designs will employ a ladder or lattice topology for better control over operating frequencies. The ladder or lattice architecture will be used in more complicated systems to control operating frequencies better.
North America Bulk Acoustic Wave Sensors Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:
Drivers
- Proliferation of smart gadgets such as mobile phones across the region
As the world is getting digitalized, the penetration of smartphones and mobile phones is rapidly increasing. Communication has become simpler with the presence of mobile phones and other smart gadgets in the market. The mobile network has made it simpler to connect with anyone globally through telecom networks. These telecom industries are improving their communication network with the adoption of bulk acoustic wave technology which is further expected to drive the demand for bulk acoustic wave sensors market significantly.
- Adoption of bulk acoustic sensors in automobile and other commercial industries
Bulk acoustic wave devices have been in commercial use for many years now. These include automotive applications (torque and tire pressure sensors), medical applications (chemical sensors), and industrial and commercial applications (vapor, humidity, temperature, and mass sensors). Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) resonators and filters are extensively used in radiofrequency (RF) front-end filtering at UHF frequencies. Their small size, good power handling capabilities, and high-quality factors make them ideal for applications such as duplexers for WCDMA and PCS1900 and front-end filters for DCS1800 and many 2.4GHz ISM bands standards.
As automobile sectors started acquiring more digital capabilities, they are relying on a growing number of wireless technologies to communicate with the outside world. Furthermore, many vehicles have implemented the support of LTE data connections and operate as small Wi-Fi hotspots. Over the next few years, the long-planned goal of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2X) communications is finally expected to become a reality with the usage of higher-frequency RF bands.
Opportunities
- Rising demand for bulk acoustic wave (BAW) technology in fast-growing 5G infrastructure
Bulk acoustic wave (BAW) technology is being used to create a new generation of radio frequency filters (RF filters) due to the higher frequencies and broader bandwidths associated with 5G. BAW filters are piezoelectric-based acoustic resonators in which the characteristics of a thin film piezoelectric material control the frequency and bandwidth of the filter. The film's thickness, the piezoelectric element's geometry, and characteristics of the accompanying electrodes play a role in determining the band-pass frequency of the RF filter in BAW devices. Due to the band-pass frequency's reliance on film thickness, BAW devices can filter frequencies higher than conventional surface acoustic wave (SAW) RF filters. BAW filters are therefore widely employed at frequencies between 2.2 and 6.0 GHz, where SAW filter technology is severely constrained.
The global rollout of 5G and the rapid expansion of the Internet of Things is creating significant challenges in RF filtering technologies. Many market players have recently introduced BAW filters for 5G enabled front-end modules for better performance and higher reliability.
Restraints/Challenges
- Higher cost of bulk acoustic wave sensors in the market
With the wide boom of 4G LTE and wireless networks around the globe, the new wave spectrum is needed to handle the massive wireless traffic. BAW sensors generally deliver superior performance with lower insertion loss at higher frequency levels. However, the cost of BAW sensors is much higher compared to other acoustic sensors such as SAW (Surface Acoustic sensor). And the expensive nature of the BAW sensors is impeding the market's growth to a certain extent.
- Technical challenges related to BAW devices
The development of 5G has numerous challenges in terms of data speeds, coverage, and size minimization. First of all, 5G phases use higher radio frequencies, but the working frequency of BAW filters causes significant increases in acoustic and ohmic losses. Secondly, the N78, N79, and N77 of 5G NR frequency bands require 500, 600, and 900 MHz of bandwidth, respectively, while obtaining a relatively large bandwidth, up to 10%, is also a difficult problem for a BAW filter based on aluminum nitride (AlN). Thirdly, considering the complete RF system, the future will undoubtedly see an increase in input power and a decrease in module size. So module miniaturization will become a technical challenge in the near future.
