NIST HARDWARE SPECIFICATION

EQUIPMENT:

Instrumentation components to augment existing NIST-owned instrumentation to create a channel sounder for use in smart manufacturing environments at microwave frequencies.

Background:

NIST is supporting the development of test methods, best practice guidelines, and uncertainties for use in smart manufacturing applications. NIST will perform measurements of the wireless propagation environment with a channel sounder system, consisting of existing and new instrumentation components produced by a single manufacturer. The NIST-designed channel sounder architecture will be similar to that developed in prior years. In this architecture, a pseudo-noise code waveform modulates an RF carrier that is transmitted into the environment. The received signal is correlated with a copy of the input signal, providing the impulse response of the propagation environment.

The channel sounder will utilize existing NIST-owned instrumentation hardware augmented by additional control, RF, and timing circuitry. To utilize the existing NIST-owned instrumentation the new instrumentation must be procured.

Objectives:

The objective is to procure additional instrumentation components that will enable NIST to perform wireless propagation channel measurements in smart manufacturing environments. Five years of annual calibration of the base station emulator and channel emulator is required. A warranty period of a minimum of 3 years for these units is required.

Delivery:

Delivery of National Instruments components shall be less than 4 weeks. Delivery of Aethercomm amplifier shall be less than 14 weeks ARO.
