Description

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The Electronic Proving Ground, Fort Huachuca, Arizona is soliciting proposals for the following requirement: 1 each, 80 MHz to 1000 MHz High Power Amplifier with the following technical r equirements: 2000 watts  Step 1 1/2. (with 3 kW combiner). The 2000 watt RF High Power Amplifier (HPA) will be a self-contained, air-cooled, broadband, completely solid-state amplifier to develop fields in both anechoic chamber and in an open field test site. This 2000 watt HPA will be housed in a way to provide a complete stand-alone performance for testing. HPA will be of a design that provides low distortion and is stable across the frequency range. Input signals will be from signal generators that are both swept and stepped through the frequency band. Amplifi er will be able to be controlled either locally or by remote. The amplifier display will provide extensive control and status reporting capability. The digital display will provide operational presentation of Forward Power and Reflected Power plus control status and reports of internal amplifier status. Also features will include a gain control, internal/external automatic level control (ALC) with front panel control of the ALC threshold, pulse input capability and RF output level protection. HPA will prov ide a RF detector that provides an output for use in self-testing or operational modes. All HPA control functions and status indications are available remotely in GPIB / IEEE-488 format and RS-232 hardware, and fiber optic. There will be a key lock on the front panel of the HPA. The HPA will be configured such that the system can be added to in an incremental fashion to become a part of the higher power unit. The HPA must operate as a stand alone amplifier or in tandem with other HPAs and a controller/c ombiner to generate the ultimate goal of 3600 to 4000 watts minimum. Supplier must provide production data that will address the expansion of the system to demonstrate 3600W capability when using additional HPAs. Supplier must provide production data on previous shipments of HPA to demonstrate 1000W capability and discussion of what is required for using and ordering; REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS: Minimum 3 year warranty; Minimum RATED OUTPUT POWER 1900 watts; INPUT FOR RATED OUTPUT 1.0 milliwatt maximum ; POWER OUTPUT @ 3 dB compression, Nominal 2100 watts, Minimum 1650 watts; FLATNESS ? 2.5 dB, ? 0.8 dB with internal leveling; Minimum FREQUENCY RESPONSE 80 - 1000 MHz instantaneously; Minimum GAIN 63 dB minimum; Gain Adjustment, INPUT IMPEDANCE 50 ohms, VSWR 2.0:1 maximum; OUTPUT IMPEDANCE 50 ohms, VSWR 2.0:1 typical maximum; MODULATION CAPABILITY AM, FM, or Pulse modulation; HARMONIC DISTORTION Minus 20 dBc maximum at 800 watts; RF POWER METER 0 - 1200 watts full scale; PRIMARY POWER 200 - 240 VAC, Delta Connected (4 wire), 50/60 Hz, 3 phase, 12kVA Maximum; CONNECTORS: RF I nput Type N female front panel; RF Output Type 1 5/8 female rear panel; External Leveling Inputs Type BNC female on front panel; Pulse Modulation Input Type BNC female on front panel; Detected RF Output Type BNC female on front panel; Remote Computer Interface 24 Pin female IEEE-488 ( GPIB) connector on rear panel; Remote Computer Interface (fiber optic) ST Conn Tx and Rx RS-232; COOLING Forced air (self contained fans- continuous operation for minimum of 16 hours). FOB Destination (Fort Huachuca, Arizona 85613). Payment will be made by Government Credit Card under Net 30 Terms. Offers are due no later than 1200 hours, Monday, 11 September 2006 and shall be submitted electronically at virginia.miller@epg.army.mil.
