Statement of Work (SOW) – 50-58 GHz Gaussian Optics Lens Antenna (GOLA)

This Statement of Work specifies the technical requirements for delivering a Gaussian Optics Lens Antenna (GOLA) operating in the 50-58 GHz frequency band. The contractor must deliver a GOLA meeting the following specifications: single polarization; return loss of -15 dB (typical); aperture efficiency exceeding 40%; side lobe levels of -25 dB-pk (goal); WR-15 rectangular flange interface per UG-385/U; and a cylindrical body measuring 3" diameter by 3.35" height. Characterized antenna patterns are required at 52 and 56 GHz, with angular range coverage of 0-180 degrees in the alpha plane and 0-360 degrees in the phi plane (both at 0.1-degree resolution), and sidelobe/backlobe dynamic range exceeding 40 dB-pk. The waveguide feed length from the top of the body is approximately 2.370", with the exact dimension to be provided at award. The Acceptance and Receipt of Order (ARO) is scheduled for less than 22 weeks from contract award.
