Comstron of Plainview, NY, for two low noise fast switching frequency synthesizers for use as the fundamental frequency source in submillimeter wave radar. Prospective offerors who believe they can provide these items must submit clear and convincing evidence that includes the ability to meet or exceed the following specifications. Responses must be received within 15 days of this notice. The frequency synthesizers shall have a frequency range from 5 GHz to 12 GHz, be rack mountable, and have a front panel frequency display and a remote interface. The key system specifications are as follows: tuning resolution of 1 Hz or smaller, frequency accuracy of 5.0 x 10(-8)/day after 30 days normal operation, switching speed of 1 micro-second or less than 3 GHz and -115 dBc/Hz @ 20 kHz offset for less than 10 GHz, harmonics signals of less than -50 dBc, subharmonics signals of less than -100 dBc, spurious signals of less than -70 dBc, and output power of 10 dBm (10 Milliwatt) or greater, a digital parallel port capable of tuning to frequency in RAM list to within one microsecond, a fully functional IEEE-488 interface, a strobe in to select the next frequency and strobe out to indicate frequency switch and the unit must be able to lock to an external 10 MHz reference and provide an external 10 MHz reference signal. The frequency synthesizer shall include all parts, instrumentation and documentation required delivering a turnkey system. The required delivery time shall be within 120 days after award of contract.
