One for lighting and the second for convenience outlets. A (0.5) inch x 5 inch brass grounding stud shall also be provided. 3.1.9 Openings/Penetrations: The chambers shall also be equipped with brass frame penetration panels in various locations for interface material/cables that must pass through chamber walls. There shall be two 18-inch x 18-inch penetration panels, one 16-inch x 24-inch for cables and one RF waveguide penetration 1-1/2- (1.5)inch with cap. 3.1.10 Electrical Distribution & Lighting: The chambers shall be provided with four Light-Emitting Diode (LED) floor lamp fixtures, one duplex convenience receptacle on the interior of the chambers near the positioner, three duplex receptacles located on the outside of the chambers in various locations, one switch for interior lights and one warning strobe and switch. Power line filters shall also be installed and connections made on both the interior and exterior of the chambers. 3.1.11 Mechanical System with Humidifier: The chambers shall also include a Liebert type mechanical system with a humidifier for the chambers to maintain optimal climate at around 70 degrees (creature comfort +/- 5 degrees) with a relative humidity not to exceed 95%. This unit shall be self contained (not requiring intake or exhaust ductwork to the exterior of the building where it is to be located). Any condensate shall be pumped/drained to the nearest floor or roof drain as approved by the Government COR. Vendor shall provide the necessary pump and piping to the drain and shall configure the piping such that the appearance is professional and meets plumbing codes. 3.1.12 RAM: The absorber material shall be Cuming Microwave Corporation material or equivalent. The absorber material shall be applied to the walls, ceiling and floor and shall include C-RAM SFC-12 Pyramidal, C-RAM SFC-24 Pyramidal, C-RAM SFC-24 Wedge, Lossy Foam Block, SFC-18 Walkway and corners shall be mitered as needed and as per the attached Absorber Layout Plan. 3.2 Process/Performance Requirements The anechoic chambers shall be capable of performing the following key requirements as a minimum. 3.2.1Attenuation: The anechoic chambers shall provide attenuation of 90dB to electric fields and plane waves from 14KHz to 10GHz as a minimum in compliance with IEEE-STD-299 (formerly in MIL-STD-285). An attenuation level of 100dB shall be guaranteed. 3.2.2RF Shielding Effectiveness: The RF shielding shall be tested to ensure compliance to IEEE-STD-299. The shielding test shall be performed at a minimum of three frequencies (400MHz, 1GHz and 10GHz)as minimum and test reports shall be provided identifying the results of this testing at all frequencies. 3.2.3Free-Space Voltage Standing Wave Radio Test: The Free-Space Voltage Standing Wave Ratio Test (VSWR) or quiet zone test is a more all encompassing test than the shielding test. It shall evaluate the noise in a perimeter or zone around the area of interest (where the test fixture is mounted) as opposed to the chamber in general and shall be the responsibility of the contractor to accomplish in both chambers. This test shall be performed after chambers are completely assembled and any modifications such as the installation of the test fixture rotator are complete. Only ONE rotator assembly exists currently, therefore, the rotator must be installed into chamber #1 (by the contractor), and then VSWR testing performed. Then, the rotator must be moved (by the contractor) from Chamber #1 to Chamber #2 and placed into position, then VSWR testing performed on Chamber #2. The quiet zone shall meet an attenuation of 30 dB of all signals and reflections aside from the main intended signal. See Figure 1 for a diagram of the implied quiet zone geometry created by the traverse and longitudinal data collected in the test. Only the area within the implied quiet zone is expected to meet 30 dB of attenuation. The two following Companies have satisfactorily performed very similar testing previously.
