Salient Characteristics (Final) Redacted.pdf

This is a Commercial Availability Certification and Salient Characteristics document for a federal procurement by the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory. The procurement is for the purchase of two (2) vector signal generators with specific technical capabilities required for complex radio frequency signal modulation research.

The required equipment must operate across a frequency range of 10 kilohertz to 8 gigahertz, with an output power of +17 decibel-milliwatt, and RF bandwidth of 1 gigahertz. The generators must have a memory capacity of 2 gigasamples per second and support multiple modulation types including pulsed, amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, phase modulation, function generator capabilities, I/Q modulations, and low frequency modulation, with the ability to combine modulations and sweep modulation parameters. The equipment must feature one output channel and be shipped via FOB Destination to Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. The contracting officer, Zachary Dowling, certified on August 5, 2026, that all salient characteristics have been evaluated in the commercial marketplace and are available in products or services offered commercially.
