Gray, TSgt, USAF 377 MSG/Contracting Division 8500 Gibson Blvd, Bldg 20202 Kirtland AFB, NM 87117 This is a solicitation for a very low absolute phase noise and amplitude noise RF synthesizer. Looking for the equivalent or better to a modified NoiseXt LNS-18 low noise 4 to 18 Gigahertz RF synthesizer with the following modifications: 1. NoiseXt part #:LNS-1HZ. This modification gives one millihertz frequency resolution tuning range. 2. NoiseXt part #:LNS-LF-8M. This modification extends the output frequency range downward to eight Megahertz from the LNS-18 standard low frequency of 4GHz. That is, frequency output range of RF synthesizer is 8 Megahertz to 18 Gigahertz. 3. NoiseXt part #:LNS-10M: Internal 10MHz reference, available for external synchronization to synthesizer output. NoiseXt uses this feature to improve phase noise close to the carrier, specifically it improves phase noise in the frequency region of 1Hz to 10Hz offset from the carrier. This addition lowers the standard LNS-18 phase noise by an additional 15dB. This feature comes with 50 ohm input and output ports. 4. Non-harmonic spruious noise shall be less than -50dBc from 1 Hertz to 1 kilohertz offset from carrier. 5. Non-harmonic spurious noise shall be less than -80dBc above 1 kilohertz from carrier. 6. 13dBm maximum output or better 7.
