Description
The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane is seeking a sole source procurement for a quantity of ten Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWG) with specific salient characteristics. The required AWG will be used to provide various synchronized pulses to modulators and test equipment throughout Aegis test sets at Crane and external vendor facilities. The procurement is being solicited on a sole source only basis because BNC Corp is the only direct supplier of AWG in the U.S. that meets the specified characteristics required.
Some key features of the required AWG include:
• Must have 4 independently controlled analog channels (minimum)
• Must support up to 12Vpp on 50ohm for each analog channel (minimum)
• Must support offsets from -6 to +6V on 50ohm for each analog channel (minimum)
• Must have a Sampling rate of 100Msa/s (minimum) and 600Msa/s (ideal)
• Must have GPIB interface for communication
• Must have LAN interface for communication
• Must support SCPI communication
• Must have 256Ms memory (minimum)
• Must allow the ability to play complex waveforms (sequences/segments) and synchronize them between all 4 analog channels for continuous playback.
