Statement of Work for Dual Microwave and Millimeter Wave Antenna
1. Scope
| This | statement | of | work | covers | the | tasks, | deliverables, | and | general | goals | for | the | Naval | Research | | | |
| Laboratory | (NRL) | for | Dual | Microwave | and | Millimeter | Wave | Antennas | that | are | capable | of | | | | | |
| transmitting | a | radio | frequency | signal | over | the | 4‐40 | GHz | frequency | range. | | Non‐recurring | design | | | | |
| and | analysis | will | be | conducted | for | the | antennas | to | meet | the | specifications | that | are | described | in | | |
| “Specifications | for | Dual | Microwave | and | Millimeter | Wave | Antenna.” | This | effort | includes | the | delivery | | | | | |
| of | 10 | preliminary | antennas | within | 3 | months | of | contract | award, | the | delivery | of | one | pair | (forward | | |
| and | aft) | of | prototype | antennas | at | a | Critical | Design | Review | 6 | months | after | contract | award, | and | final | |
| delivery | of | 3 | pairs | (forward | and | aft) | of | antennas | at | contract | completion. | | An | 12 | month | period | of |
| performance | is | anticipated. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
2. Applicable Documents.
2.1. Specifications for a Dual Microwave and Millimeter Wave Antenna
3. Overview
| The | antennas | for | the | NRL | application | must | individually | fit | inside | of | the | end | of | a | straight | 2.4 | inch | | |
| outside | diameter | cylinder | (0.05 | inch | wall | thickness), | and | three | of | the | antennas | must | individually | fit | | | | | |
| inside | of | a | circular | cylinder | (0.05 | inch | wall | thickness) | that | tapers | from | 2.1 | inches | outside | diameter | | | | |
| down | to | 1.8 | inches | outside | diameter | over | a | length | of | 2 | inches, | as | shown | in | Figure | 1. | | The | antennas |
| shall | radiate | axially | out | the | end | of | a | 2.4 | inch | straight | cylinder | (forward | end) | or | out | the | 1.8 | inch | |
| diameter | end | of | a | tapered | cylinder | (aft | end), | and | a | radome | will | be | required | to | seal | both | forward | and | |
| aft | ends | of | the | cylinder. | | The | radome | shall | be | designed | to | maximize | RF | transmission | through | the | | | |
| radome | with | minimum | reflected | RF | energy | back | into | the | antenna. | The | antenna | pattern | including | the | | | | | |
| radome | will | span | a | cone | of | roughly | 60˚ | half | angle | (120˚ | included | angle) | in | both | azimuth | and | elevation | | |
| planes. | The | radome | shall | be | designed | to | withstand | a | dynamic | pressure | equivalent | to | an | axial | air | | | | |
| velocity | of | 400 | knots | at | sea | level | for | up | to | 4 | hours. | | | Tasks | are | listed | in | Section | 4. |
