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, Power Amplifier system that is rated at of 120 watts (minimum) with minimum frequency coverage of 40 to 45 GHz. Technical requirements: The RF High Power Amplifier (HPA) will be a self-contained, air-cooled, broadband, amplifier to develop fields in both anechoic chamber and in an open field test site. The HPA will be h oused in a single equipment rack and will 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 swe pt and stepped through the frequency band. Amplifier will be able to be controlled either locally or by remote. The amplifier's front panel digital display shows forward and reflected output plus extensive system status information accessed through a ser ies of menus via soft keys. Status indicators include power on, warm-up, standby, operate, faults, excess reflected power warning and remote. Standard features will include a built-in IEEE-488 (GPIB) interface, VSWR protection, gain control, forward and re flected RF output sample port, plus monitoring of the HPA amplifier critical parameter i.e. TWT helix current, cathode voltage, collector voltage, heater current, heater voltage, base plate temperature and cabinet temperature. Unit will have installed fro nt handles. REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS: Minimum 3 year warranty; POWER (fundamental), CW, @ OUTPUT CONNECTOR: Nominal 140 watts or greater, Minimum 120 watts; FLATNESS .? 5 dB maximum; FREQUENCY RESPONSE .40 to 45 GHz instantaneously; INPUT FOR RATED OU TPUT 1.0 milliwatt maximum; GAIN (at maximum setting) 51 dB minimum; GAIN ADJUSTMENT (continuous range) .35 dB minimum; INPUT IMPEDANCE 50 ohms, VSWR 2.0:1 maximum; OUTPUT IMPEDANCE .50 ohms, VSWR 2.5:1 typical; MISMATCH TOLERANCE.
