About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for RFQ NB672020-25-00129 relating to a Linear Power RF Amplifier Solid State (6-18 GHz) procurement by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
The Q&A addresses technical specifications, with the government confirming that: an IP3 value of +45 dBm would not meet requirements; Class A operation is required to prevent signal distortion; a 4U dimension for 19" rack and weight over 46 lbs are not acceptable; altitude range must be 10,000' above sea level; operating temperature must be 0°C to +50°C; and Ethernet/IEEE-488 interfaces will be used to control gain, switch output on/off, and provide status readbacks. Each response firmly maintains the original specifications without allowing deviations.

1.5
Would IP3 value of approximately +45 dBm based on the performance capabilities of the available GaN devices be fine for your application?
No, this would be lower than the output requirement and not meet our spec.

1.9
Is Class A operation critical to your application? If all specified performance metrics can be achieved without Class A operation, does this criterion remain essential? If so, could you elaborate on the reasons why?
Class A is required to ensure no distortion of the signal.
