In those systems, wide-band signals are modulated using Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) or Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and then up-converted to mmWave frequencies. The high-frequency signals are then transmitted through the air and propagate inside various environments before they reach the end users. Due to the complex propagation environment, the signals are often distorted due to scattering from the buildings, reflection from multiple surfaces, and attenuation inside different materials. It is critical for researchers to evaluate the signal integrity after passing through the environment for various applications. Analyzing signals carrying digital modulation requires vector measurements that provide both magnitude and phase information. A vector signal analyzer digitizes all the radio frequency power within the passband of the instrument and puts the digitized waveform into memory. The waveform in memory contains both the magnitude and phase information which can be used by digital signal processing (DSP) for demodulation, measurements, or display processing. The proposed Keysight N9040B UXA Signal Analyzer provides the widest analysis bandwidth in its class and superior phase noise performance at high frequencies. In addition, real time signal analysis for transient signals is enabled with industry-leading PathWave 89600 VSA software. Among various specifications, the highest operating frequency and analysis bandwidth are the two most important parameters. The frequency of the N9040B UXA for purchase is up to 50 GHz while the analysis bandwidth is 510 MHz (upgradable to 1 GHz later). These are the best in class. Tektronix has signal analyzers with up to 26.5 GHz operation frequency and 165 MHz analysis bandwidth. Anritsu signal analyzers have a maximum operation frequency of 44.5 GHz with 255 MHz, 510 MHz and 1 GHz analysis bandwidth options. There are the two main competitors in high-end signal analyzers. Another important parameter is the DANL. DANL or displayed average noise level is a measure used to define the sensitivity of a spectrum analyzer. The DANL specifies all the internal noise of the spectrum analyzer referenced to 1 Hz and represented in dBm/Hz. The DANL is frequency dependent and it increases with frequency. Spectrum analyzers use preamplifiers to reduce DANL. The instrument is unable to measure any input signal that is below this level. Keysight N9040B UXA achieves a DANL of -156 dBm (@30 GHz) while the Anritsu's best signal analyzer MS2850A can only achieve DANL of -142 dBm (@28 GHz). The lower the DANL, the more sensitive the signal analyzer. When testing radar, electronic warfare, or signal intelligence systems, it is important that we find and measure signals of interest in complex and dynamic environments. Using the real-time spectrum analyzer (RTSA), we can trigger on signals with a mask and even view signals in the time domain. The Keysight N9040B UXA has be achieve RTSA function in a field upgrade. This function is unavailable form both Tektronix and Anritsu products. The signal analyzer we are buying is to support >10 faculty members in CECS. Therefore, it is our best interest to maximize the performance in frequency, bandwidth and sensitivity for various projects. Revised A typical educational discount from a major equipment vendor such as Keysight, Tektronix, and Anritsu is 15% for brand-new equipment. This time Keysight offers a 23% discount on a new UXA N9040B. The equipment before discount is $166,654. After 23% discount, the price is $128,323.58. Keysight provides a trade-in value of $52,500 for an existing equipment (Agilent E4448A spectrum analyzer) in Xun Gong's lab. The E4448A was purchased in 2006 and does not have vector analysis capability. It is already out of warranty. Therefore, it is a good opportunity to use this trade-in to acquire the best signal analyzer in the world for ~$75,000. As mentioned earlier, the Keysight UXA N9040B provides the best performance in its class. The decision was made among the four PIs and 8 other faculty members in the college of engineering when we wrote the proposal to the CECS Research Infrastructure Funds. Due to saturation in the legacy sub-6 GHz radio bands, research community has been focusing on utilizing higher frequencies. Hence, the research funding has shifted to these mmWave and Terahertz frequencies. Once put together, this testbed will strengthen UCF’s presence in wireless and sensing research in mmWave and put the CECS faculty in a stronger position to attract funds from NSF and DoD programs. This group of faculty members are actively working on mmWave communications, sensing, security and networks. It benefits the department the most with the best equipment under the $75k budget.

I approve of this conceptually given the unique nature of the equipment, but I have a follow up question: If there are other "players" in this space, should we at least request the campus community to have a quote from them. I am not so sure on this one. Regards, Gerald.

Can you please also review to see if you agree or not. Vendor: Keysight Technologies Product: UXA N9040B with 50GHz and 510MHz analysis Bandwidth Total Amount: $75,823.58 Dept: ECE Requirement: The department needs to purchase a signal analyzer to support more than 10 faculty members in CECS that needs a product that can maximize the performance in frequency, bandwidth, and sensitivity for their various research projects. Required Requirements: Highest operating frequency must be up to 50GHz Analysis bandwidth must be 510MHz that can be upgraded to 1GHz later Need a DANL that can achieve -156 dBm (@30 GHz). DANL (displayed average noise level) is a measure used to define the sensitivity of a spectrum analyzer. The equipment must achieve real-time spectrum analyzer (RTSA) function in a field upgrade. Research Conducted: The only high-end signal analyzer out in the market that can meet all the above requirements is the Keysight N9040B UXA. There are only two other competitors, Tektronix and Anritsu, with comparable products but they lack some of the above required requirements. Tektronix · Operating frequency is only up to 26.5GHz · Analysis bandwidth is 165MHz Anritsu · Operating frequency is only up to 44.5GHz · Anritsu's best signal analyzer can only achieve DANL of -142 dBm (@28 GHz). Both the Tektronix and Anritsu products does not offer the real-time spectrum analyzer (RTSA) which is needed for testing radar, electronic warfare, or signal intelligence systems. Measuring signals of interest in complex and dynamic environments is important feature for this type of equipment. Price is fair and reasonable: It was noted that Keysight offer the lab a 23% discount on a new UXA N9040B. The equipment before discount is $166,654. After 23% discount, the price is $128,323.58. Keysight also provided a trade-in value of $52,500 for an existing 2006 equipment (Agilent E4448A spectrum analyzer) that’s out of warranty to bring the price down to approximately $75K so the price is deemed fair and reasonable.
