There's a fair amount of test equipment around to 40.0 GHz, but it is not cheap even on the used market. But above 40.0 GHz it gets even more expensive, as a lot of kit stops there. So a spectrum analyzer that works to 40.1 GHz is going to cost serious money. I don't know what ones chances of feeding 10.04 MHz into the 10 MHz reference input to 40 GHz test equipment to make it work to 40*10.04/10=40.16 GHz. I suspect that you could get away with it.
