Published electrical limits promoted from the source. Passive microwave reference cavities have their electrical frequency/Q values in TUBE_SECTION_PARAMETER because no applicable promoted frequency field exists in the fixed section schema.

Source-dependent data

Operating conditions by source

Each block preserves the test conditions and published values from one reference. Values from different sources are intentionally kept separate.
