Title: Lock-In Amplifier for Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) System

Requesting Lab: CTL / 672 RF Technology Division CHIPS R&D: 4.04 Electro-acoustic metrology of piezoelectric materials for wireless communications

I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Radio Frequency Technology Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) develops measurement science, standards, and technology for radio frequency (RF) and microwave electronics. It provides the metrological foundation for wireless communications, including the characterization of advanced materials and components. This acquisition directly supports the Division's mission by enabling new measurement techniques to extract specific piezoelectric properties that determine device performance. These capabilities allow for more accurate multi-physics models of acoustic filters, ensuring U.S. leadership in the semiconductor ecosystem.

II. PURPOSE

The purpose of the procurement is to provide a laser doppler vibrometer (LDV) system or associated high-precision optical components to support the CHIPS R&D Metrology Program.

Objective/Scope: The system will be integrated into an automated probe station to enable the measurement of piezoelectric coefficients in thin-film materials. This requirement is part of project "4.04 Electro-acoustic metrology of piezoelectric materials for wireless communications," which focuses on characterizing materials for next-generation 5G and 6G wireless filters. The LDV is essential for transducing acoustic domain signals to validate electro-acoustic models.
