Description

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The Electronic Proving Ground, Fort Huachuca, Arizona is soliciting proposals for the following requirement: 1 each, Amplifier Research, Microwave Amplifier, Model 125T18G26 with the f ollowing technical requirements: 18 to 26.5 GHz High Power Amplifier requirements. The RF High Power Amplifier (HPA) will be a self-contained, air-cooled, broadband, amplifier to develop fields in both anechoic chamber and in an open field test site. Th e HPA will be housed in a single equipment rack and will provide a complete stand-alone performance for testing. HPA will be of a design that provides low distortion and is stable across the frequency range. Input signals will be from signal generators th at are both swept and stepped through the frequency band. Amplifier will be able to be controlled either locally or by remote. The amplifier's front panel digital display shows forward and reflected output plus extensive system status information accesse d through a series of menus via soft keys. Status indicators include power on, warm-up, standby, operate, faults, excess reflected power warning and remote. Standard features will include a built-in IEEE-488 (GPIB) interface, VSWR protection, gain control, forward and reflected RF output sample port, plus monitoring of the HPA amplifier critical parameter i.e. TWT helix current, cathode voltage, collector voltage, heater current, heater voltage, base plate temperature and cabinet temperature. REQUIRED SPEC IFICATIONS: Minimum 3 year warranty. POWER (fundamental), CW, @ OUTPUT CONNECTOR, Nominal 150 watts or greater, Minimum 125 watts, FLATNESS ? 8 dB maximum, FREQUENCY RESPONSE 18 - 26.5 GHz instantaneously, INPUT FOR RATED OUTPUT .1.0 milliwatt maximum , GAIN (at maximum setting) .51 dB minimum, GAIN ADJUSTMENT (continuous range) 35 dB minimum, INPUT IMPEDANCE 50 ohms, VSWR 2.0:1 maximum, OUTPUT IMPEDANCE 50 ohms, VSWR 2.5:1 typical, MISMATCH TOLERANCE. Unit will have output power foldback protecti on. Unit will operate without damage or oscillation with any magnitude and phase of source and load impedance. MODULATION CAPABILITY. Unit will faithfully reproduce AM, FM, or pulse modulation appearing on the input signal. AM peak envelope power limited to specified power.
