26-58075 Radio Frequency (RF) Test and Measurement SuiteThe National Research Council of Canada is seeking a fully integrated radio frequency (RF) test and measurement suite capable of supporting advanced metrology and quantum sensing research. The system must include a high-performance signal generator with a frequency range from 10 kHz to 50 GHz, featuring an integrated frequency multiplier that extends its output to 110–170 GHz and is controllable through the same interface. The generator must deliver exceptional signal purity with low phase noise and minimal harmonics, and it must accept external frequency references at either 10 MHz or 100 MHz to ensure long-term stability. Accompanying this is a signal/spectrum analyzer with a measurement range up to 50 GHz, designed to accurately capture signal magnitude, frequency content, harmonics, and spurious emissions for validating sensor outputs and system performance. A vector network analyzer with a frequency range up to 44 GHz is also required to comprehensively characterize RF components by measuring both magnitude and phase of reflection and transmission parameters, supporting testing environments from room temperature to cryogenic conditions. The entire system must function as a unified, compatible solution, ensuring seamless operation and data correlation across all instruments. The requirement arises from the critical need for precision RF instrumentation in quantum metrology, where accurate control and readout of quantum sensors depend on stable, low-noise signal generation and precise measurement capabilities. The suite will be used to validate experimental systems, ensure signal integrity, and characterize components under extreme operating conditions. Proposals must be submitted by August 14th, 2026 at 2 PM EDT, following a questions and answers period that concludes on August 7th, 2026. The solicitation, issued by the National Research Council of Canada under number 26-58075, is open to eligible suppliers and specifies that performance will take place in Canada.
