- Description
- NASA/GRC is hereby soliciting information about potential sources for ten (10) each"Ka-band over Fiber" systems for antenna remoting of a Ka-band satellite communicationsystems. Traditionally coax or waveguide is used to carry Microwave (Ka-band) signalsbetween subsystems in a communication system. This project has a 1000' requirementbetween the indoor equipment and the ground station antenna located outside. The 1000'requirement prohibits the use of coax or waveguide at Ka-band frequencies. Possiblesolutions include up/down conversion to a much lower Intermediate Frequency (IF) such as1.2-GHz, or the use of a Ka-band-Over-Fiber system. The primary application is carrying signals in the 22.55 to 23.55 GHz and 25.25 to 27.5GHz frequency bands. The signals used shall be limited in bandwidth to less than or equalto 650-MHz and may be located anywhere within the above two frequency bands. Secondaryuses include using this system at other frequencies. For example: L-band, S-band,Ku-band, or other higher Ka-band frequency bands.MINIMUM TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: RF Input Power specification to be as low as possible,and the Spurious Free Dynamic Range needs to be a larger value to allow for margin. Delivery: Shall be delivered within 12-weeks ARO.ELECTRICAL / OPTICAL OVERALL LINK PERFORMANCE:Frequency Range: 0.05 MHz to 40 GHz, RFInput Power: 0 dBm to +25 dBm, Input P1dB greater than or less than +28 dBm, 2ndHarmonic: < -45 dBc, Spurious Free Dynamic Range: > 105 dB/Hz, RF Return Loss: > 10 dB ( < 1.9:1 VSWR), Gain Flatness:plus or minus0.75 dB over any 650 MHzbandwidth between 22.55 GHz and 27.5 GHz, Gain Slope: < 0.2 dB / 10 MHz.CONNECTORS/CABLES: Optical Connector Type: FC/APC, Fiber Cable Compatibility - SingleMode Fiber, Fiber Length: < 1 Km, RF Connector Type: 2.92-mm ("K") female, RFConnector Impedance: 50-Ohm.ENVIRONMENT: Operating Temperature: -40degreesC to +70degrees C, Storage Temperature: -40degreesC to +70degreesC.Power Consumption: < 30W per receiver, < 30W per transmitterNo solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If asolicitation is released it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps and on the NASA AcquisitionInternet Service. It is the potential offeror's responsibility to monitor these sitesfor the release of any solicitation or synopsis.Vendors having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements areinvited to submit appropriate documentation, literature, brochures, and references.Please advise if the requirement is considered to be a commercial or commercial-typeproduct. A commercial item is defined in FAR 2.101.This synopsis is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as acommitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. Respondents deemedfully qualified will be considered in any resultant solicitation for the requirement. The Government reserves the right to consider a small business or 8(a) set-aside based onresponses hereto. All responses shall be submitted to NASA GRC, Attn:Bernadette Kan,21000 Brookpark Road, Cleveland OH 44135 no later than 12/28/2009. Please referenceNNC10323072L in any response.
