Technical Specifications Request for Quotation: SB1341‐15‐RQ‐0374

Radio Frequency Instruments and Software‐Defined Radio (SDR) Hardware‐ National Instruments

Background

The purpose of this acquisition is to augment the existing wireless communication testbed of the NIST/CTL/Wireless Networks Division with radio frequency (RF) test and measurement instruments and software‐defined radios. These items will enhance the metrology capabilities of the testbed and support research, metrology, and standards development in spectrum sharing and fifth generation (5G) wireless systems.

Objectives

The objective of this acquisition is to obtain measurement and signal generation capabilities not currently available on the testbed that will support wireless communication standards of relevance to the research program of the lab. The items to be acquired include a vector signal transceiver (VST), vector signal analyzer (VSA), software‐defined radio (SDR), host controller, power meter, and wireless test software. These items will be used to execute test methods and to prototype RF systems in support of the spectrum sharing and 5G research programs of

NIST/CTL.

Scope

The Government expects to acquire the RF test instruments and associated software described in the next section.

Tasks

The vendor must supply the RF test instruments and associated software listed in the following table. Part numbers are National Instruments (NI) brand. The items to be acquired will complement and coexist with existing NI brand equipment and software currently in the testbed. The new items must be able to seamlessly integrate with existing hardware and software development tools. For this reason, only NI brand name components are acceptable.
