Description

The National Research Council Canada requires a 1.2 GHz acquisition-bandwidth real-time spectrum analyzer operating up to 26.5 GHz to capture and stream in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) data. The analyzer will be used in a reverberation chamber to qualify devices against stringent telescope protection levels, and must be low-noise and ultra-sensitive. The ACAN identifies Rohde & Schwarz Canada, Inc. as the pre-identified supplier; interested suppliers may submit a statement of capabilities demonstrating compliance with the stated requirements. The notice lists minimum requirements including frequency coverage from 100 kHz to 26.5 GHz, I/Q streaming at 40 Gbit, perpetual software licenses, and an integrated graphical user interface.
