- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ)] for a Vector Signal Analyzer per the following Specifications. PR4200192186 ?C Vector Signal Analyzer This Purchase Request is for a Vector Signal Analyzer for the SCiP Compatibility Test Sets Project. The instrument will be a cornerstone instrument for use in the Glenn Compatibility Test Laboratory. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 1.1 - REQUIRED CAPABILITES The instrument shall include the following capabilities: 1.1.1 Minimum 40-MHz Capture/Analysis Bandwidth ?C The Vector Signal Analyzers can be conceptualized as a tuned RF frequency converter followed by A/D converter. After the conversion, digital signal processing techniques are used to perform a myriad of measurements. One of the critical specifications for the instrument is the bandwidth of the A/D. This bandwidth determines the widest signal which can be analyzed / demodulated in near real time. The SCiP Project will require analysis bandwidths of up to 100-MHz. For the near term we require a minimum 40-MHz Capture/Analysis Bandwidth. The analyzer must be capable of 100-MHz bandwidth after upgrade. (Modifications within the same unit). 1.1.2 Signal Capture and Playback ?C The vector signal analyzer ??captures?? and stores a received signal into internal memory. The captured signal includes all of the noise, interference and spectral components. The captured signal can then be played back over and over while the instrument settings are changed to make different measurements. This capability is extremely useful for finding and analyzing transients. Once a transient is captured to memory, the operator may play it back to look at it in the frequency domain and measure center frequency, spectral mask, nearby noise. The signal can be played back again from memory but in zero-span mode to measure the transient??s duration, rise / fall times, etc. 1.1.3 Capture a Waveform for later Playback on a compatible Vector Signal Generator ?CFor this capability, the instrument is used as a demodulator and the actual symbols are recovered and recorded along with information about the modulation used. This information is transferred to a vector signal generator where a regenerated signal can be created for repeated playback. For example, the Vector Signal Analyzer could be set up to record a TDRSS compatible signal from an actual satellite passing overhead. Next the captured waveform is moved over to the Vector Signal Generator for later playback to other devices in the lab. This payback capability enables us to use captured signals from the real world in the lab. Most of the instruments researched include this capability. 1.1.4 Frequency Mask Trigger ?C This capability allows the instrument to be triggered when a spectral component within a narrow frequency range, exceeds a user generated mask. With this feature, the instrument can trigger on a very small signal located spectrally close to or within a large signal. Most instruments only have a simple ??level trigger?? which would trigger on the large signal. 1.2 ?C MINIMUM PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS Input Frequency Range 10 KHz to 8-GHz Input Signal Amplitude +10 dBm to -145 dBm TOI to DANL (preamp off) Capture/Analysis Bandwidth 40-MHz min, field upgradeable to 100-MHz Smallest Resolution Bandwidth ??5-Hz Support the Following Modulations PSK (BPSK, QPSK, S- QPSK) and 16-QAM Modulation Displays Constellation, Vector Diagram, EVM,Eye Diagram Modulation Measurements EVM, Magnitude Error, Phase Error, IQ Origin Offset RF Measurements Frequency Error, Channel Power, Adjacent Channel Power, Occupied Bandwidth 1.3 ?C INSTRUMENT FEATURES/COMPATIBILITES The Instrument must support the following features and / or compatibilities: 1. Compatibility with LabVIEW (LabVIEW drivers) for remote control of instrument. All front panel functions and controls must be accessible from within LabVIEW. 2. Touch Screen Color Display, with provision for external mouse and keyboard. 3. Include a spectrogram (frequency and amplitude vs. time display) 4. Ability to display and save the demodulated symbols (Symbol Display / Symbol Table) 5. External Trigger Input 6. External Frequency Reference Input 7. External Monitor Output (XGA resolution or better) 8. Environment ?C The instrument will be used in a common laboratory. It will be used on a bench or on a laboratory cart in the temperature controlled environment. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 05-14.
