In recent years, my country's electronic measuring instrument industry has made great progress, and the reliability and stability of the instrument have been greatly improved. Especially in recent years, my country's local instruments have made great progress, especially in the research and development of general electronic measuring equipment and automotive electronic equipment, the gap with foreign advanced products is rapidly narrowing. The development of modularization and virtual technology has brought new development opportunities for my country's test and measurement instrument industry. Together with the increasing attention of the state and governments at all levels, it has provided unprecedented power and opportunities for the electronic measurement instrument industry. To this end, we invite representatives of the industry and the business community to talk about hot topics in the domestic instrument field and exchange successful experience of enterprises, hoping to play a certain role in the development of my country's electronic measuring instrument industry.

At present, the domestic electronic instrument industry has formed a number of key enterprises in the development and production of electronic instruments, and has researched and developed a number of products with independent intellectual property rights that have reached the international advanced level of the same kind, providing dozens of products for my country’s national defense and economic development. Variety and considerable amount of electronic instruments. Although the industry’s production and sales growth rates have been above 20% in recent years, compared with the international level, there is still a big gap in the product structure, the technical level of high-end products, and the market share. Perfect for domestic enterprises.

Industrial upgrading brings opportunities to the domestic instrument industry

There are more than 500 electronic instrument companies above designated size in China, including more than 130 electronic measuring instrument manufacturers, and dozens of key electronic measuring instrument companies, focusing on the current "time domain", "frequency domain", "number domain", and "impedance domain". my country has developed corresponding products for five-domain electronic measuring instruments such as "modulation domain", and dozens of products have reached the international advanced level of similar products, and have been applied to the urgently needed national defense, scientific research, production and other fields. The output and sales of electronic measuring instruments are both more than 9 million units, and the growth rate is about 25%. The production value and sales are both about 10 billion yuan.

Although the domestic electronic instrument industry and enterprises have developed several varieties and a certain number of products that have reached the international advanced level of the same kind, there is still a big gap in the coverage of product varieties and the level of product technology. Therefore, the domestic market share Very low, about 10%.

The market opportunity of the domestic testing instrument industry has already come, and the market door has long been opened. The key is that our domestic testing instrument industry must seize the opportunity to enter the market and provide high-quality and high-level products. At present, the opportunities facing my country's electronic instrument industry are:

1. The opportunity is the overall upgrading of our country's industry. Dozens of information industries, including IC, require comprehensive technological upgrades and industrial upgrades, and other industries other than the information industry also need comprehensive technological upgrades and industrial upgrades. The market demand may exceed our imagination.

2. Energy saving, consumption reduction, and emission reduction provide a new broad market for electronic instruments. Electronic instruments have dual functions. One is to provide testing and testing instruments for energy saving, consumption reduction and emission reduction, and the other is to provide energy saving, consumption reduction, Emission reduction electronic instrument application products.

3. The shift from manufacturing as the main industry to service industry as the main market, and the 3C technology integration of home appliances in the market has provided a new broad market for electronic instruments.

In order to promote the development of the electronic instrument industry with weak economic strength, it is recommended that for enterprises with independent development capabilities, independent intellectual property rights, and internationally advanced products, relevant departments should identify them as "electronic instrument high-tech enterprises". Give support.

my country’s electronic instrument industry should have a relatively large development, otherwise it will be difficult to meet the huge demand of the domestic market, and it will be difficult to eliminate the huge hidden dangers of my country’s national economic industrial chain and national security from a long-term perspective. Therefore, some measures have been taken to promote its development. necessary:

1. There should be a consensus on the "scale" of electronic instruments: the "economic scale" of electronic instruments is small, and the US electronic instrument market is only US$90 billion, but it supports the high-tech industry of more than 90% of the US industry. Development has supported the strong national defense of the United States and advanced scientific research in the United States. Therefore, it is not possible to speak of "heroes" in terms of "simple economies of scale".

2. There must be a consensus on the "strategic importance" of electronic instruments: electronic measuring instruments are the basic condition for the formation of a complete industrial chain of the national economy. In view of this, the western group led by the United States has not given up the ban on the sale of electronic measuring instruments. Policies, such as integrated circuit test systems with speeds above 333MHz, ××× signal development systems (used for antenna, radar, EMI, phase/noise, SIGINT, etc. tests) are all prohibited from sale in my country.

3. Consensus is the key to the development of the electronic instrument industry. Only with consensus can we get the joint support of the country, society and enterprises, and can truly and effectively further develop.

Focus on five major technology trends

From the perspective of technology and the market, the future development trend of electronic instruments is the integration of various high-tech, comprehensive services to various industries and national economic markets. Specifically, the following aspects should be paid attention to:

, The penetration rate of digital electronic measuring instruments must be increased. The digital age has come. The digital age is a sign of social life and economic modernization, and it is related to the level of competitiveness of a country in the field of science and technology. If this is not paid enough attention to, electronic measuring instruments will lose their status in technology and the market.

Second, the bus technology must follow the international development level. VXI, PXI, LXI, USB interface and bus technology have developed to a very high level outside of China. At present, there are three trends driving the development of the test and measurement industry: First, there must be system-ready hardware, that is, modular products, which can quickly build a system. Secondly, there must be standards-based input and output interfaces compatible with PCs, as well as input and output drivers, which can be based on a local area network or the Internet. , To have a flexible software solution, whether the customer needs an Excel interface or a text interface, it can give customers flexible choices. The LXI (LANeXtensionforIn-strument) alliance was created to cater to this change. Foreign companies have developed LXI bus electronic measuring instrument products. Some domestic universities have begun to research. Domestic electronic measuring instrument companies have not yet started. If it starts too late, it will further widen the gap between my country's electronic measuring instruments and the international technology level. Therefore, my country's electronic measuring instrument companies should start the application of LXI bus technology in electronic measuring instruments as soon as possible.

Third, software technology must be put on the agenda as soon as possible. The "software" of electronic measuring instruments is an intelligent technology for electronic measuring instruments, and "software correcting measurement errors" is currently the most economical and effective way to correct measurement errors; in addition, especially software-defined radio measuring instruments have been obtained abroad Special attention and development. Since the wireless receiving system has changed from a superheterodyne frequency conversion structure to a zero-IF structure without heterodyne frequency conversion, the radio transmitting and receiving system has been simplified into digital frequency conversion, baseband amplifier, baseband filter, digital-to-analog converter, analog-to-digital converter, digital Digital components such as signal processors enable software-defined radio (SDR) measurement instruments to be realized. The concise definition of SDR is a wireless communication system measuring instrument that uses software to modulate and demodulate radio signals. Obviously, SDR can flexibly and quickly form transmitting and receiving systems of different communication standards and their measuring instruments according to the software-defined wireless communication standards with the help of common hardware subsystems. In short, electronic measuring instruments do not have software technology, just like our electronic measuring instruments are still in the "cold weapon" era. However, software technology is far from fully embodied in our electronic measuring instruments. This does not solve our electronic measurement. The instrument will never be a modern level electronic measuring instrument.

Fourth, modular technology must step up to keep up. This is the direction of the development of international electronic measuring instruments. In fact, modular technology, bus technology (interface technology) and software technology are a trinity. We must integrate the three organically as soon as possible to form competitive electronic measuring instrument products.

Fifth, synthetic instruments must be implemented as soon as possible. The synthetic instrument adopts interchangeable standard modules, standard circuits, and standard interfaces to realize the building block structure from the unit circuit to the system. Since the US Department of Defense is a purchaser of electronic measuring instruments, synthetic instruments will promote the United States, Europe, and Japan to invest more manpower and material resources to develop components, modules, and subsystems to complete automatic measurement systems, and become the technological innovation of electronic measuring instruments. new motivation.

my country's electronic instrument companies should have a greater development, otherwise it will be difficult to meet the huge demand of the domestic market. Therefore, domestic instrument companies should pay close attention to the international market, understand the technological trend, and constantly introduce new ones to enhance their competitiveness.
