Radar Set Subassembly NSN: 5840-01-597-2330 PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the production data/repair data, expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements for the repair of Radar Set Subassembly NSN: 5840-01-597-2330 for USAF personnel. Our acquisition strategy is a one-time repair. There are no qualification requirements available for this item. The projected quantities will be 3 each assets repaired. The Advanced Modular Transmitter (AMT) contains two identical transmitters, TWTA-A (1A500) and TWTA-B (1A501). The transmitters multiply a low power VHF (RF drive) signal from the receiver to X-Band, with a frequency of 9.0 to 9.2 GHz. The signal is modulated to produce a 1.0 microsecond high power radar pulse. Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier-A 1A500 and Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier-B 1A501 contain a Pulse Power Amplifier, and an RF Tray Assembly. Digital circuits within the transmitter are used to create a 1.1 microsecond grid modulator enable gate. The timing of the gate is accurately controlled. PRF timing pulses from the Receiver-Processor 1A14 turn on the transmitter during the 1.1 microsecond window that allows the transmitter to output the 1.0 microsecond RF pulse.
