The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) is seeking to acquire a high-frequency lock-in amplifier for advanced laboratory experiments. - Government Buyer: - National Research Council of Canada (NRC) - Products/Services Requested: - 8.5 GHz lock-in amplifier - Purpose: Amplifies small signals by modulating and demodulating at a specific frequency, crucial for experiments requiring high-frequency signal read-out in noisy environments - No part numbers or specific quantities provided - Unique/Notable Requirements: - System must operate reliably and consistently under experimental laboratory conditions - No specific OEMs or vendors identified in the notice - Procurement Context: - Advance Contract Award Notice (ACAN) indicating intent to award, but open to responses from interested suppliers

Description

The National Research Council Canada requires a lock-in amplifier, a device used to amplify small signals by modulating a probe signal at a specific frequency and demodulating the measured signal. This technique is critical for amplifying small signals in the presence of noise. The objective is to enable the read-out of small signals at high frequencies reliably and consistently under experimental conditions. The procurement is announced as an Advance Contract Award Notice indicating intent to award a contract for this equipment.
