About this file

This Requirements and Specifications document details NIST's procurement of a vector network analyzer (VNA) for the Quantum Electronics Group (QEG). The VNA must perform S-parameter measurements across 500 kHz to 13 GHz, have at least 2 test ports, a system dynamic range of 95 dB, and specific noise floor specifications between 4-8 GHz. Additional requirements include front panel jumpers, a GPIB interface for instrument control and data transfer, front panel functionality, and control software capable of setting distinct sweep parameters.

The document specifies shipping to Douglas Bennett at NIST in Boulder, CO, with planned government acceptance testing to occur within 7 business days. No specific installation, training, or maintenance requirements are indicated, and all sections relating to these areas are marked as "N/A". The procurement is for a single VNA to expand the measurement capabilities of NIST's quantum computing resonator testbed, with the primary goal of reproducibly measuring network parameters of superconducting microwave resonators.

TITLE: QEG vector network anlayzer Requesting Lab/Division/Group: PML/687/14

General Statement of Need

The NIST Quantum Electronics Group (QEG) manages and operates a testbed to openly disseminate standard protocols to reproducibly measure the performance characteristics of superconducting microwave resonators used in quantum computing circuits. An important measurement capability of this testbed is reproducible measurement of the network parameters of superconducting resonators. We are expanding the measurement throughput of this facility and need another vector network analyzer (VNA) that can meet these measurement needs.

Items and/or Ancillary Services

Item 1: vector network nalyzer Quantity: 1 Specifications:

1.1 Must perform S-parameter measurements over a frequency range that includes all frequencies between 500 kHz and 13 GHz.

1.2 Must have at least 2 test ports capable of S-parameter measurements.

1.3 Must have a system dynamic range of at least 95 dB.

1.4 Must have test port noise floor at 10 Hz intermediate frequency bandwidth (IFBW) of -120 dBm from 4 GHz to 8 GHz.

1.5 Must have direct receiver access input noise floor of -130 dBm from 4 GHz to 8 GHz.

1.6 Must have front panel jumpers to enable configurable test sets and include jumpers for measurement receiver inputs, reference receiver inputs and source outputs.

1.7 Must have GPIB interface to control the instrument and transfer data.

1.8 Instrument must have the capability to control the core functionality from the front panel and must have the capability to display data on the instrument front panel.

1.9 Control software must have the ability to set distinct sweep parameters for different frequency segment and include the ability to skip different segments.
