About this file
This document is an attachment titled "Attachment 1 - Salient Characteristics" that provides detailed technical requirements for a federal contract opportunity. The requirement is for two Spectrum Analyzer and Gain Horn Antenna Suites Combination kits, each composed of a handheld spectrum analyzer and a set of 7 different gain horn antennas covering frequencies from 1 GHz to 50 GHz. The spectrum analyzer must be portable, handheld, battery-operated, durable, weather-resistant, and support ease of operation in adverse conditions. It must have a wide frequency range, antenna input/output, GPS, preamplifier, and visual spectrum representation capabilities. The antennas must cover the specified frequency bands with 15-20 dB gain. The equipment will be packed in transport cases for commercial travel. The related federal contract opportunity is a pre-solicitation for a "Site Survey Kit" with the described requirements, to be procured by the Department of the Air Force Space Command.

Requesting two Spectrum Analyzer and Gain Horn Antenna Suites Combination kits composed of:
-Handheld Spectrum Analyzer -Gain Horn Antenna Suites (poss 7 different antennas, covers different spectrum bands) -Min of two antenna cables per spectrum analyzer (connection configurations between spectrum analyzer and the antenna input determines the overall number of cables) for each antenna size.
Overview:
The handheld spectrum analyzer and directional antenna suite combination shall support electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) survey in the L-band (1-2 GHz), S-band (2-4 GHz), C-band (4-8 GHz), X-band (8-12 GHz), Ku-band (12-18 GHz), Ka-band (26.5-40 GHz), and Q-band (33-50 GHz). The equipment must be portable, handheld, battery operated, durable, weather resistant, and commercially transportable. The equipment needs to support ease of operation requirements with the economy of movement during adverse weather conditions. The equipment will be packed inside transport cases (approx. Internal Dimensions: 30.01" Length x 25.02" Width x 15" Depth) to accommodate commercial travel and excessive luggage restrictions.
Handheld Spectrum Analyzer (microwave and radio frequency) Requirements:
-Operates in English -portable, handheld, durable, weather resistant -Rechargeable battery -Support Signal Characterization and Monitoring -Wide Spectrum range ~ 9 kHz (approx. start point, give or take a few hertz) through 50 GHz -Antenna Input & Output capability
-GPS
-Preamplifier -Visual EMS representation with Spectrograph (primary trace) and Spectrogram (waterfall plot) -Options for data storage and analysis -User-friendly display with intuitive controls -Possess basic functions with:
· Center Frequency – Allows tuning to specific center frequency (think RF address)
· Span – Selects frequencies displayed on X-axis (think zoom)
· Frequency Start/Stop – Selects range of frequencies to display (combines CF and span)
· Reference Level – Sets the amplitude reference (top line of display)
· Scales per Division – Like Span, but for the Y-axis (based on Ref Level) -Possess advanced functions with:
· Video Bandwidth – Used to “clean up” a signal making it easier to view
· Sweep – Controls refresh speed of a live trace
· Markers – Helps user characterize/measure RF signals
· Resolution Bandwidth (RBW) – Determines how close frequency components in the signal spectrum can be and still be displayed as distinct components on the screen (Decreased RBW = Decreased Noise) -High Frequency Accuracy -Small Resolution Bandwidth -High Frequency Resolution -Demodulation Capability -Size dimensions not to exceed 15” x 18” (approx.)
Antenna Cable Requirements:
-3 feet to 5 feet length -One end connector configured to fit the selected spectrum analyzer input port.
-Distant end connector configured to fit the selected gain horn antenna input.
Gain Horn Antenna Requirements:
-Supports EMS survey in the:
· L-band (1-2 GHz) with
· S-band (2-4 GHz)
· C-band (4-8 GHz)
· X-band (8-12 GHz)
· Ku-band (12-18 GHz)
· Ka-band (26.5-40 GHz)
· Q-band (33-50 GHz) -Nominal 15 dB gain, 20 dB gain preferred -Includes antenna cable input connection (poss N-type or 2.92mm)
