SOURCES SOUGHT: Power Sensor Check Standard

Requirements / Specification Document TITLE: Power Sensor Check Standard Requesting Laboratory / Division / Group: Communications Technology Laboratory Radio Frequency Technology Division Guided Wave Electromagnetics Group (672.01) General Statement of Need: The Communications Technology Laboratory (CTL) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) enables science and industry by providing essential measurement methods, instrumentation, and standards to support all phases of communications technology development, from fundamental characterization and discovery to production. To support research and measurement services in radio frequency and microwave power, the Radio Frequency Technology Division in CTL requires a power sensor that can operate in multiple rectangular waveguide bands. The power sensor will serve as a check standard for power calibrations performed with both connectorized and on-wafer equipment. Only new equipment will be considered. Item Specifications and Quantities: Item 1: Calorimetric Power Meter Quantity: 1 Specifications: 1.1 Power measurements in rectangular waveguide bands spanning frequencies from at least 75 GHz to 1.1 THz. 1.2 Typical relative power measurement accuracy of ±5 % across all supported rectangular waveguide bands. 1.3 Measurement ranges from 1 μW to 200 mW. 1.4 Maximum continuous wave (CW) input power of at least 200 mW. 1.5 Calibration factor switch to adjust the power meter display to correct for input loss or gain. 1.6 Internal calibration capability to heat the sensor element with a known amount of dc power. 1.7 USB port for instrument control. 1.8 Compensate temperature drift to less than 2 μW·°C-1. 1.9 Operational temperature range of at least 10 °C to 30 °C. -- 1 of 7 -- Requirements / Specification Document Item 2: Waveguide Taper from WR-10 to WR-6.5 Quantity: 2 Specifications: 2.1 Operating frequency range of 110 GHz to 170 GHz 2.2 Loss of approximately 0.16 dB 2.3 Length of approximately 1 inch Item 3: Waveguide Taper from WR-10 to WR-4.3 Quantity: 2 Specifications: 3.1 Operating frequency range of 170 GHz to 260 GHz 3.2 Loss of approximately 0.28 dB 3.3 Length of approximately 1 inch Item 4: Waveguide Taper from WR-10 to WR-3.4 Quantity: 2 Specifications: 4.1 Operating frequency range of 220 GHz to 330 GHz 4.2 Loss of approximately 0.32 dB 4.3 Length of approximately 1 inch Vendor Requirements 1.
