C26-109E Linear Power RF Amplifier

PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION

      The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the production data/repair data, expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements for the C26-109E Linear Power RF Amplifier.

Delivery Speed is the highest priority for this requirement. One (1) each RF Linear High-Power Amplifier. It shall be used to receive a small level RF signal (100 milliwatts) and amplify it to approximately 150 Watts.

The 150 Watt signal will be used to test the insertion-loss/signal-integrity of the Transmit Diplexer Circuitry of the aircraft and verifies that it can handle high power RF signals from the aircraft.

The equipment shall allow the Government to test the Transmit Diplexer Circuitry as if it were operating in the aircraft. The equipment can be rack mounted

Power requirements shall be a standard 120v wall power outlet.
