REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT TITLE: 100 GHz Oscilloscope Plug-in Module LAB REQUESTING SERVICE: Communications Technology Laboratory, Communications Test Coordination Office (672.03) I.BACKGROUND INFORMATION The mission of the Radio Frequency Technology (RFT) Division (672.00) is to provide industry, and its suppliers and customers, with comprehensive and technically advanced measurement capabilities and standards, as well as traceability to those standards. The High-speed Measurements Group strives to provide state-of-the-art traceability for high-speed waveform measurements and instrumentation through the 42161S and 65200S measurement services and by developing better (lower uncertainty, higher bandwidth, better value) waveform measurement technology with applications to serial data communications, millimeter-wave wireless communications, and nonlinear device characterization. To provide state-of-the-art waveform and oscilloscope measurement services (65200S), the bandwidth of NIST owned measurement equipment must be increased from approximately 80 GHz to 100 GHz. II.OBJECTIVE The Contractor shall provide one (1) 100 GHz Oscilloscope Plug-in Module that meets all specifications listed below. III.SPECIFICATIONS At a minimum, the Plug-in Module shall meet the following specifications: 1.100 GHz bandwidth 2.Two (2) channels 3.1.0 mm coaxial connectors, female preferred, rated to at least 110 GHz 4.Remote sampler heads on umbilical cables (~3 ft length) from main oscilloscope display unit 5.Electrical Inputs: 1mm (m) to 1.85 mm (f) adapter for each channel 6.Torque wrench for 1 mm and 1.85 connectors 7.Cable management clips 8.Compatible with Keysight 86100D oscilloscope 9.The sampling oscilloscope and 100 GHz plug-in module must allow user remote access of simultaneously sampled data on all channels of the oscilloscope such that timing errors that are correlated between the channels can be removed by the NIST time-base correction software.

However, throughout the contract period of performance, there may be circumstances beyond the control of the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), that will impact normal days of business operation, such as inclement weather, power outages, etc. In circumstances such as these, the Contractor must call the appropriate NIST campus status line to verify the operating status: Gaithersburg Campus Operating Status Line: (301) 975-8000 (800) 437-4385 x8000 (toll free) Boulder Campus Operating Status Line: (303) 497-4000 During a lapse in appropriation, access to Government facilities and resources, including equipment and systems, will be limited to excepted personnel for both Federal employees and Contractor personnel. If performance of the contract is onsite and/or requires Government interaction, unless you have been, or are notified that you are to work under an excepted status, you will automatically enter a temporary work stoppage. The work stoppage shall remain in effect until the lapse is resolved and notification is provided via the NIST website at https://www.nist.gov/ and/or the NIST operating status lines. Additionally, Contractors are encouraged to monitor public broadcasts or the Office of Personnel Management's website at www.opm.gov for the Federal Government operating status. NIST will provide notification to all contractors that are determined to have excepted status. All excepted contractors are required to continue performance and communicate with the appointed Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for further guidance, or NIST Contracting Officer if a COR is not appointed. Contractors with supply or service contracts that are fully funded at the time of contract award and do not require access to Government facilities, resources, or active administration by Government personnel in a manner that would cause the government to incur additional obligations during the lapse in appropriation may continue performance.
