Questions & Answers - Solicitation N00173-20-Q-CM02
Question 1: VNA: 26.5 GHz or 67 GHz?
Answer 1: Please provide a quote for the 26.5 GHz VNA.
Question 2: Time gating functions and rapid data collection feature software options: The software option S93010B and S93118B are recommended. Let us know if you want these added.
Answer 2: Please add these options.
No longer a requirement. Please see amended solicitation.
Question 3: 1 mm cables and adapters: Please select one option from each group:
Test Port Cables
11500JK10 2 110 GHz, 1.0 mm (m-f) test port cable (10 cm) 3
11500JK13 2 110 GHz, 1.0 mm (m-f) test port cable (13 cm) 3
11500I 110 GHz, 1.0 mm (f-f) test port cable (8.8 cm) 11500J 110 GHz, 1.0 mm (m-f) test port cable (16 cm) 11500K 110 GHz, 1.0 mm (m-f) test port cable (20 cm) 11500L 110 GHz, 1.0 mm (m-f) test port cable (24 cm) 11500JK07 110 GHz, 1.0 mm (m-m) test port cable (30.0 cm)
Answer: 11500L is the preferred selection.
No longer a requirement. Please see amended solicitation.
1.0 mm coaxial adapters
Y1900B 120 GHz, 1.0 mm (f) to 1.0 mm (f) ruggedized adapter Y1900C 120 GHz, 1.0 mm (m) to 1.0 mm (f) ruggedized adapter Y1910A 120 GHz, 1.0 mm (m) to 1.0 mm (m) standard adapter Y1910B 120 GHz, 1.0 mm (f) to 1.0 mm (f) standard adapter Y1910C 120 GHz , 1.0 mm (m) to 1.0 mm (f) standard adapter
Answer: Y1900B is the correct option.
Technical Review Comments:
Comment 1: The N5290A system will include a PNA or PNA-X series VNA, a test set controller, two frequency extenders, and interconnect cables required to connect the VNA to the test set controller. Some items in the spreadsheet are duplicated or already included in the N5290A-201.
Response 1: Correct, please disregard the duplication of information.
Comment 2: In the characteristics document, it mentioned the 67 GHz stand-alone VNA is preferred.
If so, you may choose N5290A-202, which includes N5227B with options 020, 205, test set N5292A with options 200, 224, and two frequency extenders N5293AX03. The N5227B is a PNA that works up to 67 GHz.
But the characteristics document also mentioned the RF ports are 3.5 mm. The RF ports connectors on N5227B are 1.85 mm, while the connectors on N5222B is 3.5 mm since the N5222B only works up to 26.5 GHz. Both N5222B and N5227B are compatible with 1mm mmWave extenders because the extenders are connected to the test set controller. The test controller and PNA are connected via interconnected cables that are included in the N5290A system. Therefore, please check to confirm which stand-alone PNA you will need.
Response 2: Please proceed based on the assumption of the N5222B with the 3.5mm ports.
No longer in question. Please see amended salient characteristics and solicitation.
Comment 3: The characteristics also require the time gating functions and rapid data collection feature. The software option S93010B and S93118B are recommended.
Response 3: You may add these software options.
No longer a requirement. Please see amended solicitation.
Comment 4: Regarding the 1 mm cables and adapters, Keysight provide different models for different length and genders. You may choose the appropriate ones based on the connector types and genders of the device under test. The connectors on the mmWave frequency extenders are 1.0 mm male.
Response 4: Again, the 11500L with the Y1900B would be the correct option.
