The contract line items are as follows: CLIN 0001, 20 Hz to 26.5 GHz EMI Test Receiver w/MIL-STD-461 Control Software, 1 Ea., The unit must meet the following specifications. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division's Aircraft Information Security Branch's Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Laboratory conducts EMI testing on all avionics systems in the Navy's inventory to the requirements of MIL-STD-462D. Seventy percent of this testing requires the use of sophisticated EMI test receiver. The laboratory's present test receiver is tailored to the older requirements as detailed in MIL-STD-462A, B, and C. The new requirements of MIL-STD-462D are particularly stringent in the area of test receiver sensitivity. In an attempt to configure our present test receiver to meet these requirements it increases our test time to an unacceptable three hundred percent and in some frequency ranges is unable to provide the sensitivity required by the new specification. In order to meet the requirements of our test specification (MIL-STD-462D) a new EMI test receiver, operational through the frequency range of twenty Hertz to twenty six and a half Giga-Hertz, is required. A modern EMI test receiver utilizing the latest in receiver technology will provide us with the ability to reduce our test time to extremely reasonable levels as well as meet the sensitivity requirements of MIL-STD-462D. This specification establishes requirements for a 20 Hz to 26.5 GHz EMI test receiver. This test receiver will be used by the Electromagnetic Interference Laboratory to perform electromagnetic interference emissions testing to the Test Method Standard MIL-STD-462D and previous revisions. This EMI test receiver will be required to test electronic components installed in a variety of Naval aircraft, ground support equipment, medical equipment, and space systems. The system will be used in our permanent test laboratory, the Aircraft AnechoicTest Facility (AATF), conus, and abroad locations. This places a mandatory requirement of compactness and mobility on this new EMI test receiver. The requirements of the 20 Hz to 26.5 GHz EMI Test Receiver are as follows: Frequency Range: 20 Hz to 26.5 GHz (Must be upgradeable to at least 100 GHz); Control Features: Complete Stand Alone Control, IEEE 488.2 GPIB Control, MIL-STD-462 Control Software (Microsoft Windows 3.11 and 95 Compatiable); Display: 9inch Color CRT CRT w/ 1024 x 512 pixel resolution, Split Screen Display Capability, External monitor output; Plotting / Printer: HP-GL, 24-pin pinwriter / dot matrix, laser printer; Power Supply: 120VAC + 10%, 60 Hz; Dimensions: 435mm x 457 x 590mm, 68 kg, (W x H x D, Weight), 17.25inches x 18inches x 23.25inches, 150lb; Demodulation: Amplitude and Frequency Modulation. Must be able to measure modulation depth and frequency deviation.;Spectral Sensitivity: w/ out pre amp 5 MHz and Sweep Time 10 dB = < 30 dB, 1 Watt, or 137 dBuV, Max Pulse Spectral Density input with preselector on: W/ 0 dB attn and f < 150 kHz = < 130 dBuV/MHz. W/ 0 dB attn, 150 kHz to 1 GHz = < 90 dBuV/MHz, W/ 0 dB attn and f > 1 GHz = < 61 dBuV/MHz, Max Pulse Spectral Density Input with preselector off: W/ 0 dB attn: < 60 dBuV, Max Pulse Voltage: Input #1 = < 150 V, Input #2 = 10 dB: Input #1 = 1 kW for 10 us Pulse, Input #2 = 100 W for 10 us Pulse, Level Compression, (Pulse Spectral Density at 1-dB Compression, 0 dB attn, preselector on, and pre amp off): < 150 kHz = > 110 dBuV/MHz, 150 kHz to 5 MHz, = > 86 dBuV/MHz, 5 MHz to 30 MHz = > 80 dBuV/MHz, 30 MHz to 300 MHz, = > 76 dBuV/MHz, 300 MHz to 1000 MHz = > 75 dBuV/MHz, 1000 MHz to 26.5 GHz= > 50 dBuV/MHz; Sensitivity, Max: 2 MHz to < 20 MHz = -35 dBuV 20 MHz to 200 MHz = -40 dBuV; Interfaces: External Floppy, RS-232-C (25 pin female), Parallel Interface (Centronics 36 pin female), Head Phone Jack; Software, Must operate in Microsoft Windows 3.11 or higher. Must contain specification limits for MIL-STD-461D, MIL-STD-461C, and MIL-STD-461B. Must allow operator input of transducer factor files. Must provide an overview mode coupled with the ability to input criteria for receiver quality measurements. It is of extreme importance that this product be able to meet these specifications without exceeding a maximum of two units contained within the specified dimensions. Mobility from one test location to another is very important to the laboratory's test capability. Inspection and acceptance shall be made at destination.
