E-MAIL: Dahlgren Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center, sd13@nswc.navy.mil. Description. The Government requires a traveling wave tube amplifier, quantity of one, meeting or exceeding the following specifications: (A) 2 to 8 GHZ operating frequency range. (B) 200W minimum power output at output connector. (C) AMP gain (including preamplifier gain) of at least 53 dB. (D) If a preamplifier is necessary to achieve gain/output power specified, it shall be solid state and internal to the amplifier unit. (E) Gain flatness of plus or minus 13 dB, maximum, when operating at rated power. (F) Input impedance of 50 Ohms, VSWR 2.0:1, maximum. (G) Output impedance of 50 Ohms, VSWR 2.5:1 typical. (H) Load VSWR 2.0:1, maximum, for continuous operation; any value for operation without damage or oscillation. (I) At its output connector, the amplifier shall be able to faithfully reproduce AM, FM, or pulse modulation appearing on the input signal. (J) Harmonic content of -3 dBc, or lower, typical at lower band edge. (K) Noise and spurious of -50 dBc, or lower, typical, excluding harmonics. (L) Connectors shall be: RF Input of Type N female, RF Output of Type N female, and RF Output Sampling Port of Type N female. (M) Immediately capable of GPIB operation, with an IEEE 488 interface. (N) Have primary power range of 200 to 260 VAC single phase and frequency of 47 to 63 Hz. (O) Have power consumption of 2.6 kVA or less typical and 3.0 kVA maximum. (P) Utilize forced-air cooling. (Q) Weigh no more than 120 lbs (54 kg). (R) Have dimensions which permit fit within standard 19-inch width rack and with height no greater than 12 inches.
