About this file

This document is a Solicitation Attachment that details the specifications for solid-state radio frequency (RF) amplifiers required by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). The primary requirement is for four amplifiers across two frequency ranges (2-18 GHz and 26.5-40 GHz) to be used for lab measurements of RF solid-state device components and circuits. The amplifiers must have integrated protection circuitry, pass aging and burn-in testing, come with a minimum 2-year warranty, have variable gain adjustment, and readable displays presenting operational status. The solicitation specifies detailed technical requirements for each of the four amplifiers, including saturation output power, input power limits, gain, VSWR, harmonic and spurious outputs, and I/O connectors. The amplifiers must be standard commercial products with demonstrated field use. This solicitation is part of a larger Federal Contract Opportunity, N00173-24-Q-NJ06, for Solid-State RF Amplifiers, issued by the Department of the Navy, Office of Naval Research.

Solicitation Attachment #1 Specifications The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has a requirement for solid-state radio frequency (RF) amplifiers for lab measurement of RF electronics.

A. The primary requirement is for solid-state RF amplifiers for use in performing lab measurements of RF solid-state device components and circuits. For longevity and reliability, the amplifiers must have integrated protection circuitry and pass typical ageing and burn-in testing. All amplifiers must come with at least a 2-year warranty, have variable gain adjustment, be air-cooled, and have readable display presenting operation status to include self-check of critical components. All specifications below must be met across the entire specified frequency range. The amplifiers must be standard commercial products with demonstrated field use.
