Description

This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). WAVEFORM GENERATOR QUANTITY: ONE (1) EACH TAKTRONIX MODEL AWG 520 ARBITRATY WAVE FORM GENERATOR PART NUMBER: TEKTRONIX AWG520 OR EQUAL AWG 520 OPT 3 QUANTITY: ONE (1) EACH OPTION 3, DIGITAL DATA OUT FOR TEKTRONIX AWG 520 ARBITRARY WAVE FOR GENERATOR PART NUMBER; TEKTRONIX AWG520 Salient Characteristics of Waveform Generator for Hybrid Hardware Testing: Clock Frequency: The unit shall operate with a minimum range of clock generator sampling frequency of 1.0 MHz to 1.0 GHz with 8 digits of resolution with internal clock accuracy of +/- 1 ppm. Internal Storage: (The unit shall have:) 7A minimum 3 GByte internal hard disk size for waveform storage; 7A minimum 3.5 in. 1.44 MByte floppy drive; 7A minimum range of 256 to 4,000,000 points available for waveform length output; 7A minimum range of 1 to 64,000 for the sequence counter for waveform repeatability Input Characteristics: (The unit shall respond to the following input stimuli:) 7Trigger with voltage range of +/- 10 V into 1 kilo ohm, and +/- 5 V into 50 ohm with positive or negative polarity; 7Trigger threshold levels of -5V to 5V; 7Trigger pulse width minimum of 10ns; 7Reference input clock with range of 10 MHz into AC coupled 50 ohm impedance; 7External input sample clock with up to 1 GHz frequency with nominal 50% duty cycle ratio and minimum input voltage of 0.5V peak to peak into AC coupled 50 ohm impedance; 7External programming from either GPIB or Ethernet interface. Internal Trigger Generation 7The unit shall have a minimum range of 1.0 microsecond to 10.0 seconds with resolution of 3 digits and accuracy of +/- 1%. Output Characteristics: (The unit shall provide) 7A minimum of two channels of single-ended signal output; 7A minimum resolution of 10 bits for the digital to analog converter with +/- 1 least significant bit non-linearity; 7Direct output voltage of 0.5 volts peak to peak as driven into 50 ohms; 7Emitter coupled logic (ECL) output clock; 7The ability to deliver up to 10 bits of digital data out from a range of -2.0V to +2.0V into 50 ohms and -4.0V to 4.0V into 1 mega ohm with 0.1V resolution; 7Gaussian noise distribution capability with up to -145 dBm/Hz of interference The unit shall have the following modes of operation: 7Triggered -- a single sequence of a predefined waveform occurs with event trigger from external or internal source; 7Latched or Gated -- a predefined waveform sequence occurs continuously with true input source and resets to beginning when true source changes to false; 7Continuous or free running -- a predefined waveform sequence continues free running; 7Programmable -- a predefined waveform is output according to a programmed sequence; Operating Characteristics (The base unit shall) 7Operate within standard USA line120 VAC and standard line 60Hz frequency; 7Operate in stand alone enclosure free fashion, requiring only standard line current and voltage; 7Require only standard connectors of BNC, SMB or SNA; 7Have a net weight of less than 50 lbs or 22 kg; 7Operate within a temperature 0:C to 30:C; Accessories (The unit shall be shipped with, as a minimum) 7All necessary user manuals 7All necessary programmer manuals 7Power cable for standard USA line voltage FAR 52.211-7 -- BRAND NAME OR EQUAL -- is applicable and incorporated by reference All prosprective contractors must be registered in the Central Contractor Register (CCR) database, prior to any award of a contract or purchase order.
