A -- SATELLITE DIGITAL SOUND BROADCASTING RECEIVER Sol. 95/2. Due 031495. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory/California Institute of Technology (JPL/Caltech), operating under a prime contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is currently seeking qualified sources to participate in a partnering arrangement with JPL on the development of a receiver for digital audio broadcasting via satellite. The basic scope of work, utilizing your own source of funding, includes: (1) working with JPL to complete the definition of the specifications for a satellite digital sound broadcasting (DSB) receiver; (2) implementing an existing JPL simulation into a prototype hardware receiver; and (3) particpating in satellite/terrestrial field trials using the NASA TDRS satellite at S-band. JPL will provide a working simulation of a receiver capable of operation in a multiple signal environment to the selection partner(s). JPL requests that interested firms, which have a capability to fulfill the requirements herein, provide a FAX or written expression of interest no later than 4:45 p.m. (PST) on March 14, 1995. Telephone inquiries will not be honored.
