- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for 1 each, DVB-S2 Modem. 1. Overview The Space Communication and Navigation Testbed project requires a ground-based DVB-S2 modem to support experiments with variable and adaptive coding and modulation, applied to spacecraft telemetry and science data. The initial use of the modem will be for signal bandwidths of 5 MHz, but wider bandwidths of 200 MHz are desired for the second phase of the experiment. Operationally, the DVB-S2 modem will be used in a receive-only mode, to receive data from a NASA-provided transmit waveform (space-side). A DVB-S2 test modulator capability for the DVB-S2 modem is desired for loop-backing testing and self-test purposes. The DVB-S2 modem receiver is required to provide the required signal information (MODCOD, Eb/No) to support adaptive coding and modulation. This information will be used by a NASA-provided ground system to send ACM commands to the spacecraft. 2. Minimum Specifications: 2.1 APPLICABLE STANDARDS The DVB-S2 modem shall be compliant with the DVB-S2 standard ETSI EN 302 307-1 V1.4.1 (2014-11). 2.2 WAVEFORM FEATURES The DVB-S2 modem shall support the following: User Data Rates: 0.5 Mbps to 225 Mbps, upgradable to approximately 900 Mbps Symbol Rates:1 to 50 MSymbols/s, upgradable to 200 MSymbols/s Modulation: QPSK, 8-PSK, 16-APSK, (32-APSK option) Mode: Constant Coding and Modulation (CCM), Variable Coding and Modulation (VCM), Support for Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) per section 2.9 Pulse Shape Filter: Square-Root Raised Cosine, Roll-off of 0.2, 0.25, 0.35 Forward Error Correction (FEC): BCH + LDPC, Rates: 1/4, 1/3, 2/5, 1/2, 3/5, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 5/6, 8/9, 9/10 FEC Block size: Short (16,200 bits), Normal (64,800 bits) 2.3 IF FREQUENCY The modem shall have an IF frequency range with covers at least 1.2 GHz to 2 GHz. 2.4 DOPPLER ENVIRONMENT S-band Direct-to-Earth: The DVB-S2 receiver shall be capable of tracking a signal with a Doppler of +/- 50 kHz, at a worst case rate of 700 Hz/second. Ka-band Relay: The DVB-S2 receiver shall be capable of tracking a signal with a Doppler of +/- 535 kHz, at a worst case rate of 570 Hz/second. 2.5 REMOTE CONTROL INTERFACE The DVB-S2 modem shall permit remote operation over a TCP/IP based network, from a NASA furnished Windows or Linux based client PC. The User Interface shall be graphical, and include real-time status information concerning the instrument configuration, test status / results, and health of the instrument (alarms, faults, and warnings). 2.6 DATA INTERFACE The preferred data interface is gigabit Ethernet, 10/100/1000 Base-T. 2.7 TRANSPORT STREAM DOCUMENTATION Documentation shall be provided which allows a NASA-provided DVB-S2 modulator to communicate with the DVB-S2 receiver, using the appropriate transport stream format (GSE or ULE). 2.8 BASEBAND FRAME MODE The DVB-S2 modem shall have a raw baseband frame mode, bypassing any transport stream protocol. 2.9 ADAPTIVE CODING AND MODULATION SUPPORT The DVB-S2 modem shall provide real-time metrics of the link condition, including the signal strength (Eb/No) and current MODCOD. This information shall be made available for an external computer to poll at rates up-to 10 Hz. Note: This information will be used by a NASA-provided ground system to send ACM commands to the NASA-provided DVB-S2 modulator. 2.10 BIT ERROR RATE CHECKER The DVB-S2 modem shall have a BER test mode, using a standard PRBS sequence of length 211-1, and/or 223-1. The PRBS data will be inserted into the raw baseband frames. Documentation shall be provided on any additional frame format requirements. The PRBS mode shall operate with CCM, VCM, or ACM modes of operation. 2.11 OPTIONS Options shall be priced individually of the base contract and of each other. Options may be exercised at any time, within one of year of award. 32-APSK Modulation Modulation Symbol Rate Upgrade: 200 MSymbols/second Modulation Symbol Rate Upgrade: 300 MSymbols/second Low Symbol Rate: Extend operation down to 100 kSymbols/second Efficient Filtering 1: Extend filter roll-off down to 0.1, and 0.15 Efficient Filtering 2: Extend filter roll-off down to 0.05 2.12 DELIVERY Delivery of base unit and potential options: 30 days preferred, not to exceed 20 weeks after receipt of order.
