TITLE: Wireless Protocols Analyzer

LAB REQUESTING SERVICE: Communications Technology Laboratory

I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Communications Technology Laboratory (CTL) National Advanced Spectrum and Communications Test Network (NASCTN) needs a wireless protocols analyzer to support ongoing Other Agency tasking with considerable impact to commercial and Federal Agency stakeholders. The wireless protocols analyzer will serve as test equipment allowing for the analysis of incident wireless signals at the physical layer. This includes the ability to decode 802.11 Wi-Fi and Long-Term Evolution (LTE) protocol signals. Knowledge of the physical layer is imperative in the analysis of wireless system behavior in the presence of a spectrum sharing, wireless coexistence, or interference test.

II. SPECIFICATIONS

The contractor shall provide one (1) wireless protocols analysis platform with the following specifications:

A. This equipment shall analyze, store, and decode physical layer signals from:

1. WLAN IEEE 802.11a/n/ac PHY, MAC and IP layers,

a. WLAN IEEE 802.11a/n/ac capture export capability in both PCAP, PHY/SAP format and encapsulated Ethernet frames for use with WireShark

2. 3GPP Long-Term Evolution Advanced including release 12, 13, and LAA protocols

a. Full decode of the LTE and IP layers including MAC, RLX< PDCP, RRC, and NAS

b. Release 12 including FDD-TDD CA, enhancements for DL MIMO, ProSe/SideLink, small cell and MTC

c. Release 13 including LTE - License assisted access

B. This equipment shall have these additional capabilities as well:

1. Cover a frequency range from 380 MHz to 6 GHz

2. 4G capture Memory and real-time triggering

3. 2 OCXO covering 380 MHz to 6 GHz

4. Real time support for Ca x3 and 4-layer MIMO

5. IQ module with M.2 NVMe 512G SSD card for storage

6. Unit shall be controllable through scripted software such as Visual Basic, C#, or Python

7. Stand-alone, single-user licenses for the operation of the hardware and software - analysis modes only. Includes all software and firmware updates for the initial 1-year period

8. Extended warranty and technical support to three (3) years

C. The following parts list meets the above specifications and is provided as an example. There may be other combinations of parts that meet the specifications as well.
