Purchase of two (2) Millimetre-Wave Frequency Extender Modules for a Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) from 110 GHz to 170 GHz
Public summary
Generated or condensed from imported source text. Verify before bidding.
The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) appears to be seeking two millimetre-wave frequency extender modules for existing Vector Network Analyzers. The modules would extend measurement capability from approximately 110 GHz to 170 GHz and must integrate with either a Keysight PNA N5227B or Rohde & Schwarz ZNA67 analyzer. NRC is seeking equipment suitable for high-dynamic-range, stable two-port measurements supporting radio astronomy research. This opportunity may be relevant to suppliers of specialized RF, microwave, millimetre-wave, or test-and-measurement equipment. Potentially important considerations include compatibility with the specified VNA models, performance across the 110–170 GHz range, delivery and technical support requirements, and compliance with the tender’s technical and financial submission forms. The tender is listed as open and closes November 9, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The notice identifies NRC as the buyer and references British Columbia and Ottawa, Ontario. Before deciding whether to bid, review the complete official tender documents, including the technical bid, request for proposals, offer submission and declaration forms, financial offer, and notice.

Source description preview
Imported source text may contain formatting from the original notice.
NRC Herzberg Astronomy and Astrophysics (HAA) requires extended measurement capabilities in the millimetre-wave frequency range to support ongoing research in characterizing front-end components for low-noise receivers in radio astronomy. Existing Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) at NRC HAA are currently limited to a maximum operational frequency of 116 GHz. To increase its measurement capability, NRC HAA intends to acquire frequency extender modules covering the 110–170 GHz band. These extenders must integrate with either of HAA's existing analysers (Keysight PNA N5227B and Rohde & Schwarz ZNA67), providing high dynamic range and stable two-port measurements.
