- Description
- NASA/GRC has a requirement for a quantity of one (1) Outdoor (roof-mounted) Ka-Band100-Watt Power Amplifier. The minimum technical specifications are as follows:This procurement is for an outdoor (roof) mounted Ka-band amplifier.1. Frequency Range: 25.25 GHz to 27.50 GHz. (TDRSS KaSA 'Return' band).2. Power Output (Rated): 100W minimum (at P1dB gain compression). This specificationshall be met without using a linearizer. (We will operate over a variety of output powerlevels).3. Duty Cycle: 100% duty cycle.4. Input Power Level: -20 dBm to +5 dBm.5. Gain Adjustment: 20 dB adjustment range, adjustable in 1 dB steps.6. Gain Variation vs. Frequency: < 2.0 dB (max C min) over any 650 MHz bandwidth.(The maximum signal bandwidth is 650 MHz).7. Gain Slope: 0.04 dB/MHz max.8. Gain Stability: 0.25 dB over 24-hours.9. Intermodulation: -18 dBc max (for two equal input signals at 100W total outputpower).10. AM/PM: Less than 2.5/dB at 50W.11. Spurious: Lower than -50 dBc.12. Receive Band Noise: -150 dBW/4 KHz max over 22.55 GHz to 23.55 GHz (TDRSS KaSA'Forward' band).13. Operating Temperature Range: -40 C to +50 C.14. Non Operating Temperature Range: -50 C to +70 C.15. Humidity: Up to 100% Condensing.16. Altitude: < 10,000 feet MSL.17. VSWR Protection: Shall include protection circuitry to automatically turn off tubepower and display a fault condition in the event of a high VSWR condition.18. Power: Shall operate at any input voltage between 100 to 260 VAC and frequencybetween 47 to 63 Hz.19. Remote Monitoring / Control: The unit shall be capable of remote monitoring andcontrol. This includes the following minimum functions: a) remote turn on / warm up, b) turn off / cool down, c) monitoring of forward and return output power, d) gain control,e) monitoring of case temp and key operating voltages, f) tube hours. 20. Remote Monitoring / Control Interface: The preferred monitor and control interfaceis Ethernet using the IP protocol. Common serial protocols such as RS-232, RS-485, areacceptable. The use of other protocols is unacceptable. The power amplifier shall includethe necessary Remote Control Unit and/or PC based software to remotely control the poweramplifier.21. Transportability: The power amplifier shall be suitable for transportable use. Thepower amplifier may be moved from location to location up to five (5) times/year.Transport shall use standard commercial shipping services (UPS/FedEx, etc.).22. Shock and Vibration: Suitable for standard commercial shipping services.23. High Reliability: The risk of in-the-field failure of the power amplifier must bemitigated with a high MTBF, and permit easy in-the-field replacement.24. Measured test data shall be provided along with the unit for performance testing byNASA personnel.This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared inaccordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additionalinformation included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the onlysolicitation, which is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ); quotes are beingrequested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Offerors are required to usethe On-Line RFQ system to submit their quote. The On-line RFQ system is linked above orit may be accessed at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/eps/bizops.cgi?gr=C&pin=. The information required by FAR Subpart 12.6 is included in the on-line RFQ.The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12 and the SimplifiedAcquisition Procedures set forth in FAR Part 13.Questions regarding this acquisition must be submitted in writing (e-mail is preferred)no later than May 17, 2010. It is the quoter's responsibility to monitor this site forthe release of amendments (if any). Potential quoters will be responsible fordownloading their own copy of this notice, the on-line RFQ and amendments (if any).An ombudsman has been appointed - See NASA Specific Note 'B'.Any referenced notes may be viewed at the following URLs link below.
