Aron Krischel Contracting Officer for National Institute of Technology Specifications NB672010-17-02579 BACKGROUND The Remote Sensing Project at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), located in Boulder, CO, performs electronic noise metrology to calibrate and characterize microwave thermal noise transfer standards for both US industry and other government entities. As part of this effort, the Remote Sensing Project has been working on microwave radiometer calibration in free-space, as opposed to traditional guided wave applications. Microwave radiometers fly on weather and climate satellites to make earth temperature measurements. Amplifiers in these instruments experience large amounts of gain drift and thus need to calibrate themselves on a short time scale while operating. The goal of the microwave Remote Sensing Project is to provide traceability to the internal calibration sources on operational radiometers. By characterizing a standard microwave thermal noise source, NIST will be able to offer pre-launch calibration and traceability to these microwave radiometers. Once in operation, this will increase the accuracy of weather forecasts and long-term data records. OBJECTIVE In pursuit of the above described goal, the Remote Sensing Project requires a calibrated infrared camera to precisely, and with quoted absolute accuracy, characterize the temperature on the surface of the conical microwave blackbodies. This is crucial to demonstrating a primary standard for microwave brightness temperature. SPECIFICATIONS The infrared camera shall have the following characteristics: 1. The detector array shall contain at least 200x200 pixels. 2. The lens of the camera shall have a field-of-view of no less than 73 degrees in both vertical and horizontal axes. 3. The camera shall be capable of resolving 25μm per pixel in a close-up configuration for fine-scale measurements. 4. The detector array and camera shall not require additional cooling hardware 5. The camera shall offer an absolute NIST traceable calibration and provide a calibration report with absolute accuracy to temperature units. 6. The camera shall operate in the thermal infrared wavelengths encompassing the range 11-13μm. 7. The camera shall maintain linearity and operability up to a minimum of 75deg C and down to a minimum of 0deg C or lower. 8. The camera shall have a 4mm lens and a close-up 25µm lens. 9. The camera shall have hardware and configuration for precise laboratory mounting. DELIVERY 60 days after receipt of order. Contractor shall certify the unit operates in accordance with expected performance specifications. ACCEPTANCE/INSPECTION Prior to acceptance, NIST personnel will inspect and test the camera and both lens to ensure they operate in accordance with expected performance specifications. WARRANTY Two year parts and labor on camera; 5 years on the battery; 10 years on the detector.
