- Description
- 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; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.This notice is being issued as a request for Quotations (RFQ) for one (1) each S-BandPower Amplifier as follows:The Power Amplifier shall be mounted outdoors close to the antenna, and shall be fullyexposed to the environment. A typical installation might be on top of a commercial roof,or paved surface with limited/restricted access. The Power Amplifier shall supporttransportable use as it will be periodically moved and used from different locations.Once installed at a specific location, the Power Amplifier will be used from thatlocation for typically 2 to 12 months. The Power Amplifier may be used in foreigncountries and shall operate using international line (mains) voltages and frequencies.The Power Amplifier shall operate in full sunlight (solar radiation) or nighttimedarkness, from arid desert climates or locations which experience full condensingmoisture including snow and ice. The Power Amplifier shall operate over the temperatureextremes described in the section below. The Power Amplifier shall be monitored and controlled (M&C) using a NASA providedWindowsTM based PC. The physical layer connection between the M&C PC and the PowerAmplifier shall be Ethernet based and support 10BASE-T or 100Base-TX.DETAILED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:The SSPA shall meet the following minimum specification:Operate over the 2,200 MHz to 2,300 MHz frequency band; Output Power: 100-Watts minimumat 1 dB gain compression; Duty Cycle: 100 %; Gain: 60 dB typical, a nominal -10 dBminput signal shall produce the full 100-watts output; Gain Flatness: is less than(<)plus/minus (+/-) 1.0 dB over full transmit band; Gain Slope: is less than (<)plus/minus (+/-)0.1 dB over any 10-MHz bandwidth; Internal Attenuator: Remotelycontrolled internal attenuator to reduce the maximum gain over a minimum 20dB range in 1dB or smaller steps; Shall include a Transmit Mute function to permit the RF to beturned off by remote control. In the OFF condition, the output signal shall be attenuatedby at least 50-dB; Receive Band Rejection: The receive band is 2,025 MHz to 2,120 MHz.Spectral power density within this band shall not exceed -155 dBW/4 KHz independent ofoutput power level; Unwanted emissions: For any narrowband or single frequency unwantedemission the required attenuation shall be at least 60 dBc; Input Connector: 'N' Female; Output Connector: 'N' Female;Operating Ambient Temperature Range: -40 degrees C (-40degrees F) to +60 degrees C (+140 degrees F); Power: 90 to 250 VAC, 50/60 Hz, SinglePhase, is less than (<)900 Watts average draw at rated output; Shall include a RFOutput sample port with a fixed coupling value between 25 to 45 dB below the actualoutput. (Actual value used is manufacturers option.); Control of the Power Amplifiershall be via standard 10Base-T or 100Base-TX Ethernet (physical) interface. A NASAprovided Windows TM PC will be used for monitor and control. If custom software isrequired for monitor and control of the Power Amplifier, Windows TM based PC softwareshall be included with each unit to monitor and control the power amplifier.Alternatively the Power Amplifier may be controlled via a common web browser (InternetExplorer, Firefox, etc.), or other standard applications (telnet, etc.) commonly found ona typical PC; Full documentation covering the communications protocol used to monitor andcontrol the Power Amplifier shall be delivered to allow NASA to write custom software formonitor and control; The following minimum control and monitoring functions shall besupported: 1) RF On/Off, 2)Read and adjust Gain, 3) Read and display measured outputpower, 4) Transmitter Temperature, 5) Alarm / Fault conditions and status including butnot limited to: a. power supply fault, b. high temperature alarm, c. low RF outputalarm. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 2005-46.This procurement is a total small business set-aside. See Note 1.
