Theconverters shall be tunable (synthesized) and may be packaged as one single unit, or asseparate up and down converter units. The IF of the converters shall use a 1.2-GHz centerfrequency with a minimum bandwidth of 650 MHz for the upconverter and 50 MHz for thedownconverter.Upconverter Specifications:Output Frequency Band:25.25 to 27.50 GHz,Input Center Frequency: 1.20 GHz,IF Bandwidth: greater than or equal to 650 MHz,Power Output: greater than or equal to +10 dB @1 dB,Impedance: 50 Ohms,Gain: 0 to 25 dB, adjustable in 1 dB min steps,Group Delay: Less than or equal to1 nS over any 650 MHz bandwidth,Return Loss: greater than or equal to 18 dB,Spurious: -60 dBc,Tuning Step Size: 5 MHz,Output Level Stability: plus or minus 0.25 dB/day at constant temperature,Amplitude Response: plus or minus 1.0 dB over plus or minus 325 MHz, andOutput Mute: The upconverter shall include a mute feature to remotely turn off(reduce by <60 dB) the output of the upconverter. Downconverter Specifications:Input Frequency Band: 22.55 to 23.55 GHz,Output Center Frequency : 1.20 GHz,IF Bandwidth:greater than or equal to 50 MHz,Power Output (@1.2 GHz): greater than or equal to +10 dB @1 dB,Impedance: 50 Ohms,Gain: 0 to 25 dB, adjustable in 1 dB min steps,Group Delay: less than or equal to 1 nS over any 50 MHz bandwidth,Return Loss: greater than or equal to 18 dB,Spurious: -60 dBc,Tuning Step Size: 5 MHz,Output Level Stability: plus or minus 0.25 dB/day at constant temperature,Amplitude Response: plus or minus 0.5 dB over plus or minus 25 MHz, and Output Mute: Not required for downconverterFrequency Reference: Internal Frequency Reference: Shall include an internal frequencystandard with a minimum frequency stability of: plus or minus 1 x 10-8,External Reference: Shall accept and lock to an external 5 MHz and / or 10 MHz frequencystandard.Primary Power:Voltage: 90 to 250 VAC, Frequency: 47 to 63 HzOperating Environment:Ambient Temperature:-30 to +60 degrees C (Operating), -50 to+70 degrees C (Non Operating, including transit)Humidity: Up to 100% CondensingTransportability: The converter(s) shall be designed for transportable use. Theconverter(s) may be relocated up to five times per year to different sites to supporttesting of different flight missions. Transport between locations shall be byconventional commercial carriers.Remote Control: The converter(s) shall be remotely controllable from an indoor controlunit or via PC software using Ethernet or RS-232, or RS-485. The remote control shallinclude the following minimum features:1. Ability to remotely control the Ka-band operating frequency2. Ability to remotely mute the output (reduce by <60dB)3. Alarm Status of Outdoor Unit, including:a. Read the internal temperature of the outdoor unit.b. Display fault indicators including power supply, temp fault, phase lock fault.c. Provide a Muted Output indication.d. Read and display the current operating frequency.The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 05-36.This procurement is a total small business set-aside. See Note 1.
