R&S VSG and RF Source Synopsis/Solicitation

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) is seeking a vector signal generator and RF source for the TDN lab. The equipment must meet specific technical requirements, including high-precision, reliable, and consistent testing. The sole source justification is based on the fact that only Rohde & Schwarz can provide the required equipment, specifically the SMBV100B Vector Signal Generator and SGS100A SGMA RF Source. * The equipment is required for RF testing applications that demand great signal purity, ultra-low phase noise, minimal spurious emissions, and a high level of accuracy. * Competing solutions do not consistently meet the same level of signal integrity and measurement confidence required for testing in the TDN Lab. * The use of alternative equipment would introduce increased measurement uncertainty, risk of false failures or undetected defects, and potential delays due to retesting or certification issues.
