This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; 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 Nanosecond Pulse Generator,(high-voltage pulsed-power supply,) for use in the development and demonstration of efficient ionization technology for creating large-scale plasmas for practical aeronautical and space exploration applications. Specifications for this effort are set by reports of efficient coupling of electromagnetic energy into air with the use of pulsed nanosecond discharges. The power supply will be installed on a wind tunnel with an estimated 20-25% coupling of power into the flow. Eventually, a multi kW power supply will be developed for use on a plasma generator in the 1? by 1? supersonic wind tunnel. An Electrical Power Supply with the following specifications is required: (1) Voltage Output: A Maximum output voltage in the range of 50kV to 100kV (into 400-1000 Ohm). A minimum of 4 output channels is required. (2) Input power - AC 100-240V and DC 100-300 V (These sources to be provided by user). (3) Pulse Characteristics Rise time - 2-3 ns Fall time - 2-3 ns Pulse duration at 50% - 5-8 ns Maximum PRF (pulse repetition frequency) - 100 kHz. PRF to be adjustable from Single shot to 100kHz in continuous mode. (4) Triggering ? both internal and external capability required. (5) Cooling ? integrated into power supply. (6) Electrical cables and pulse combiner (series circuit) shall be furnished by vendor. (7) At least two copies of user manual shall be provided, with shipment, by vendor. (Either two hard copies, or electronic copy (usually sent by e-mail) is acceptable.) The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 05-11.
