Description

The Navy intends to procure on a sole source basis from Emcee Communications 1635 W. 12th Pl. Tempe, AZ 85281-6906, 2 (two) TTV 1000EG, 1000 Watt Agile VHF Transmitters with agile modulators with tech manuals and 2 (two) TTU1000CQ, 1000 Watt Agile UHF Transmitters with Agile moulators with tech manuals. Emcee Communications has been determined to be the sole source of supply for these requirements based on the results of a Sources Sought Notice posted in FedBizOpps on 1 June 2006. They were the sole respondant and their equipment met all of the required characteristics as set forth below. The VHF Transmitter must be capable of providing 1000 watts peak visual output power and be frequency agile, enabling the selection of any Band I or Band III analog TV channel while meeting the following characteristics: Operate in temperatures of 0 to 40 degrees Celsius, withstand relative humidity of at least 95 percent, provide 3 phase power consumption of no more than 5kW at 0% APL, be no larger than 56?H x 19?W x 31?D, and weigh no more than 350lbs. However, no single assembly may be larger than 6 RU (10.5?H) or exceed 110lbs. The equipment must transmit Systems M/N, B/G, D/K, I, or L with NTSC, PAL, or SECAM color and cover output frequencies from 47-88MHz and 174-230MHz. The transmitter?s frequency stability must be within +/- 1kHz, spurious products can be no more than -50dB, Inter-modulation (IM3) must be -52dB for in-band products, and -40dB for out-of-band products. Across each frequency band and without adjustment, differential phase must be less than +/- 10 degrees, differential gain can be no more than 10 percent, envelope delay must fall within +/- 50ns of the selected TV system curve, and video frequency response will be within +/- 1.5dB at 4.0/5.0/6.0 MHz bandwidths. Output power stability shall be sustained within +/- 0.5dB and RF regulation at or below 3 percent. The signal to noise and hum and noise ratios must be 50dB or better. A minimum aural power of 16 watts is required for this system with audio frequency response within +/-1dB, audio harmonic distortion at 1% maximum and FM noise no greater than -50dB. The UHF Transmitter must also be frequency agile providing selection of any analog TV channel between 470 and 800MHz using Laterally Diffused Metal Oxide Semiconductors (LDMOS) in the intermediate and final amplification stages. The transmitter must meet all of the following characteristics: Operate in temperatures of 0 to 40 degrees Celsius, withstand relative humidity of 95 percent, be no larger than 35?H x 19?W x 30?D, and weigh no more than 235lbs. However, no single assembly may be larger than 6 RU (10.5?H) nor exceed 110lbs. With a maximum 3 phase power consumption of 5000 watts at 0% APL, the unit must be capable of 1000 watts peak visual output power transmitting Systems M/N, B/G, D/K, I or L with NTSC, PAL, or SECAM color. Frequency stability will be within +/-1kHz, spurious products better than -50 dB, Inter-modulation (IM3) must be -52dB in band, and -40dB out of band and harmonic radiation of no greater than -50dB. Across the frequency band and without adjustment, differential phase must be within +/-10 degrees, differential gain may not be greater than 10 percent, envelope delay should meet the curve designated for the TV system selected +/- 50ns, and frequency response for video will be held at +/- 1.5dB for the 4.0/5.0/6.0 MHz bandwidths. Output power stability shall be maintained at +/- 0.5dB with RF regulation at or below 3 percent. The signal to noise ratio and hum and noise ratio must exceed 50dB. A minimum aural power of -13dB relative to peak visual is required for this system with an audio frequency response at less than +/-1dB, audio harmonic distortion at 1% maximum, and FM noise no greater than -50dB. Both transmitters must be rugged and mobile enough for operation anywhere in the world via ground, sea, or air transportation. All AC and high current DC power connectors will be Industry Standard or Military Specification utilizing proper pin orientation (power on female jack only). All multi-wire control type harnesses will be terminated with positive locking connectors (i.e. threaded circular Mil or screw lock D-Sub). The required delivery date for these transmitters, based on an award by 16 Nov 2006, is 15 May 2007 to NAWCAD, Webster Field, St. Inigoes, MD 20684. Inquiries regarding these requirements should be directed to the attention of Patricia Rivenbark at patricia.rivenbark@navy.mil. No telephone responses will be accepted. *****
