- GENERAL INFORMATION Document Type:Sources Sought Notice Solicitation Number:N68335-09-RFI-0264 DESCRIPTION The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), Special Communications Requirements (SCR) Division, Webster Field Annex is surveying the commercial vendor community for all interested parties in the intended procurement of a Broadband Signal Generator as required by the Atlantic Test Range (ATR), also part of NAWCAD. The ATR has tasked the SCR Division to integrate and demonstrate the functionally of a signal generator as part of a communications simulator. The Broadband Signal Generator must be capable of synthesizing complex broadband signals and environments to simulate high-speed communication systems and components. It must generate signals with instantaneous bandwidths up to 120MHz at RF with a typical spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) of 45dBc. The minimum operating frequency band must be 2.0 MHz to 2.4 GHz. The broadband signal generator must have analog output signals. The maximum RF output power must be 0dBm relative to sinusoid output. It must include an integrated computer controlled wideband attenuator into output channel with 63dB attenuation range in 1dB steps. Output must be 50 ohm compatible. The broadband signal recorder and generator must fit into a 19 inch rack mount, with a maximum height of 12 inches and a maximum depth of 30.5 inches. The total weight of the system can not exceed 80 pounds. The equipment must operate on 115 Vac power, with a maximum current draw of 6 Amperes. The minimum hard drive space is 73 GByte and the minimum memory is 2GByte. The equipment must be Ethernet capable (10/100/1000baseT), provide at least two USB ports and two serial COM ports, as well as DVD-RW capability. The equipment must be able to create the following complex signal types: PSK, FSK, QAM, CDMA, EDGE, GSM, IS 95, IS 136, pulses, tone combs and phase modulated tone combs, as well as white Gaussian noise and spectral pedestal and notch noise. The equipment must be able to transmit these complex signal types, as well as CW, AM, FM, SSB. The signal generator must also be frequency agile. The signal generator must provide Audio Inject that would allow the operator to input audio to the transmitted signal via standard microphone. Dual audio output is required. The equipment must be able to control a 6-port amplifier input switch and a 2-port antenna select switch (both of which are TTL). In addition to the above requirements it is also desired that the Signal Generator be capable of generating multiple (minimum two) complex signals, each capable of modulation by independent user generated base-band message traffic signals. The broadband signal generator with optional recorder/analyzer subsystem must fit into a 19 inch rack mount, with a maximum height of 12 inches and a maximum depth of 30.5 inches. The total weight of the system can not exceed 80 pounds. The equipment must operate on 115 Vac power, with a maximum current draw of 6 Amperes. The minimum hard drive space is 73 GByte and the minimum memory is 2GByte. The recorder/analyzer subsystem must be able to display spectrum, time and parameter strip chart plotting, as well as log this data to file. The recorder/analyzer must be able to measure and display channel power and adjacent channel power. At a minimum, the recorder/analyzer subsystem must be able to demodulate PSK and QAM, and display constellation plots, eye plots, and various parameters such as error vector magnitude, I/Q imbalance, eye closure, carrier power and frequency, symbol rate and symbol rate error. Optional demodulation capabilities should include AM/FM/PM, ASK and ASK Burst, FSK and FSK Burst, and pulse. There is also desire to have two or more Signal Generators communicate with one another via a user supplied Internet Protocol (IP) network for the purposes of conducting Electronic Protection (EP), formerly known as, Electronic Protective Measures (EPM) or Electronic Counter Counter-Measures (ECCM). An example of this is the ability to change transmission power or frequency in response to jamming. It is also desired that the Signal Generator have a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of at least 15,000 hours at 25 degree Celsius. There is a desire for the Signal Generator to have the ability of utilizing a integrated onboard solid state hard drive. There is no commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation, make an award, or be responsible for any monies expended by any interested parties in support of the effort mentioned above. Information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit or award a contract. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website, located at www.fedbizops.gov. It is the potential offertory’s responsibility to monitor this site for the release of any follow-on information. This is a Sources Sought, and feedback from industry is also sought on our requirements as stated in this synopsis. THIS SYNOPSIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP). Interested parties are requested to submit a capabilities statement of no more than 5 pages in length, and demonstrate their ability to provide the requirements listed above. All data received in response to these sources sought, marked or designated as corporate or proprietary, will be fully protected from release outside the Government. It is highly encouraged that capability statements be submitted electronically to the designated Contract Specialist in Microsoft Word format or Portable Document Format (PDF) at the following email address: jillian.kohler@navy.mil. Alternatively, the capability statement may be sent by mail to the following address: Department of the Navy, Lakehurst Contracting Office, Naval Air Warfare Center AD (LKE), Code 2.5.2.3.3 Bldg 562-3, HWY 547, Lakehurst, NJ 08733-5082, attn: Ms. Jillian Kohler. The information may be faxed to 732-323-2359, attn: Ms. Jillian Kohler Code, 25233. Telephone and other means of oral communication requesting information will not be permitted. The Government is not committed nor obligated to pay for the information provided, and no basis for claims against the Government shall arise as a result of a response to this sources sought.
