- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for two COTS 300 Watt S-Band Solid State PowerAmplifiers (SSPA) with the following specifications: The vendor shall deliver a commercial off the shelf 300 Watt S-Band Solid State PowerAmplifier (SSPA) assembly with Remote software interface (RS-422) installed in NEMAWeatherproof Environmental Enclosure for outdoor application. The NEMA enclosure sizeshall be approximately 20 x 24 x 11.3. The SSPA shall include redundant 300Wamplifiers in the NEMA enclosure. The NEMA enclosure shall provide weatherproofoperations and include sufficient heat sink and air cooling capacity for continuousoperation of the amplifiers. The SSPA shall meet the additional followingcharacteristics: RF Characteristics Operate over 2025 to 2120 MHz Frequency RangeProvide 300 Watts RF Output Power Provides adjustable RF Output Level over a 20dB range in 1 dB steps Accepts RF Input Power of 0 dBm nominal, +2 dB Maximum Input/Output VSWR of 1.5:1 (Ref 50W) Includes Output Protection of No Oscillation, No Damage into infinite VSWR, atany Phase Angle (Isolator Protected) Exhibits maximum Noise Figure of 10 dB Spurious Outputs shall be no greater than 60 dBC, except Harmonics, of 20 dBC maximum Control & Reporting CharacteristicsIncludes a RS422 Interface Includes reporting of Forward and Reflected Power Power Supply Characteristics AC Input Power shall be 110VAC +10% @ 7 Amperes maximum, 47 to 63 Hz DC Output Power shall be 12 Volts @ 50 Amperes Shall include Remote AC Control on via 15 volt 0.20 Ampere signal Shall include Door Interlock Switch with Over-Ride and Lamp Indication for SafetyShall include 7 amp Fuse protectionNASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from WV Communications because the softwarecontrol interface is proprietary.The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.DO Rating is DO-C9.
