Description

The 412 TW/AFFTC, Edwards Air Force Base, CA is seeking potential sources capable of providing one pulse modulator unit, one separate transmit and receive rack mount enclosure, and one timing generator. REQUIREMENTS: These items are part of the 2-18GHz Hardware Gating upgrade in support of the antenna pattern and antenna isolation capabilities. These items will be used in the Benefield Anechoic Facility for uninstalled and aircraft installed antenna system testing. With this upgrade, the Electronic Warfare Group will be able to improve antenna measurements by gating out chamber effects, which will reduce setup time and allow testing without teardown of the threat generation carts. Specs: Timing Generator Variable pulse parameter in pattern mode as well as in pulse mode Synchronously triggerable Simulation of reflections/distortions User-retrofittable channels 100% form/fit compatibility Number of Channels: 1 or 2 single ended channels Frequency Range: 1 MHz - 80 MHz Period Range: 20 ns to 999.5 s Variable Delay Range: 0.00 ns - 999.5 s Period RMS Jitter: 0.01% + 15 ps Width Range: 6.25 ns to 999.5 s Amplitude Range: 100 mV to 20.0 V Transition Time Range (10 / 90): 3.00 ns to 200 ns Dropout and Glitch-free Timing Change: Yes Pulse Modulator w/Rack Mount Kit Frequency Coverage: 2.0-18.0 GHZ (Single Band) Receive Noise Figure: 7 dB Typ at Rx Port Receiver Gain: 32 dB min (CW) Receive Input for 1dB Comp: -35 dB min (CW or Peak) Receive Isolation: 120 dB min (CW), 2-16 GHz 110 dB min (CW), 16-1 Survival Receive Power: Peak: 10 Watts (100S); Average: 1 Watt Transmit Output Power: Internal Amp, 2-16 GHz +20 dBm Typ; Internal Amp, 16-18 GHz +18 dBm min VSWR: <2:1 Typ Pulse Characteristics: Pulse Width (-1dB to 1dB) 12 nS min to CW; Rise/Fall Time (10-90%) 6 nS Typ 10 nS max Transmit On/Off Ratio: 80 dB min Pulse Reception Frequency: 7.5 MHz max PRF Resolution: 1 Hz Pulse Width Delay Resolution: 1 nS Electrical: 115/230 VAC + 10%, 47 to 63 Hz single phase 165 VA Dimensions: 19" wide and 3.5" high Weight: 18 lbs max Environmental: 60 degrees F to 95 degrees F Ship Date: 24 Weeks ARO.
