About this file

This is a Requirements/Specification Document for an E-Field Probe procurement by NIST's Communications Technology Laboratory, Radio Frequency Technology Division, Electromagnetic Fields Group (672.02). The government requires two items: (1) a laser-powered, three-axis RF electric field probe covering 20 MHz – 60 GHz frequency range with specifications including +/- 1 dB frequency response flatness, field strength measurement range of 2-1000 V/m, 1 cm³ measurement volume, maximum 30 cm total length, and 10-meter optical fiber; and (2) an E Field Probe Control Module with desktop form factor, USB/RS232 communication interface, 12 VDC supply voltage, and specific size/weight limitations.

The procurement includes a 14-week after receipt of order (ARO) delivery timeline to NIST-Boulder, Colorado. The government requires a 3-year manufacturer warranty covering labor and parts, with acceptance expected within 7 business days. All ancillary services including electronic media, installation, training, calibration, maintenance, government furnished equipment, and travel requirements are marked as not applicable (N/A). The document serves as a detailed technical specification for vendors to provide accurate quotes for this specialized electromagnetic field measurement equipment used for RF field calibrations.
