Describe the missing configurationWhat a 26 GHz card still has to separate
Buyers looking up a 26 ghz spectrum analyzer are often mixing a 26.5 GHz microwave frame with a 2 GHz communications frame and a 40 GHz unit that was listed under a rounded title. The words do not tell you the connector, the preamp, or whether calibration traceability papers travel with the carton. LinkScope Sourcing 54 treats the phrase as a prompt to collect those fields, not as evidence of a warehouse.
Write the frequency range first. A start at 10 MHz is a different instrument from a start at 9 kHz when the lab still measures conducted emissions below 30 MHz. A stop at 26.5 GHz with a 2.92 mm or 3.5 mm port is not the same offer as a 26 GHz marketing line whose test port is SMA and whose specified amplitude flatness ends earlier. Measurement accuracy should name the attenuator setting and the temperature window. If the sheet says plus or minus 1.0 dB and stops, ask which frequency range that window covers.
Impedance on these cards is expected to be 50 ohm unless the buyer writes a 75 ohm broadcast path and a matching pad. VSWR of the input, and the insertion loss of any adapter the supplier adds, move the amplitude at 18 GHz and above. A photograph of a front panel does not establish the port. Ask for the mechanical drawing that names the connector series and the torque the maker allows. Connector mating cycle life belongs on that drawing when the bench swaps cables every shift.
Options move the payable total. A preamp changes receiver sensitivity and the level at which the front end compresses. A tracking generator, if required through 26 GHz, must say its output level, often somewhere between -20 dBm and 0 dBm, and whether it shares the same connector. Software licenses for occupied bandwidth or spectrogram views should be line items. If the license is node-locked, say so. Display and logging, including whether traces export on a LAN port, stay in the requirements box.
Limits to keep beside the cards: a family brochure is not the serial you will receive; a used frame may carry a shorter remaining calibration interval than a new serial; humidity and a damaged port thread both move the number; and a headline stop frequency without RBW and without the preamp state is not comparable. Record quantity, the US ship-to, and the requested timing. Continue with the millimeter quote scope or send the open fields through the brief form.
