80GRC020MSLSTE Sources Sought Synopsis_for Posting.pdf

This document is a sources sought synopsis for specialized test equipment for NASA's John H. Glenn Research Center Microwave Systems Laboratory. The synopsis provides details on NASA's requirements for outfitting two RF-shielded anechoic chambers within a new 55,000 square foot Antenna Characterization Facility. The Near Field Range chamber measures 44'6" x 44'6" x 49' and will require a large, horizontal near field scanner system. The Compact Antenna Test Range chamber measures 32'5" x 13'2" x 12' and will require a Compact Antenna and Radar Cross Section system. NASA is seeking information from sources on their ability to provide these specialized test equipment solutions to support research and testing of communications technologies and systems from L-band to W-band (1-110 GHz), including for antenna metrology of deployable and active phased array antennas as well as over-the-air communications systems level testing.
