This government file details specifications for three custom filters: a Low Pass filter (1GHz), a Band Pass 1 filter (1-2.5 GHz), and a Band Pass 2 filter (2.5-7.2 GHz). Each filter must meet specific performance requirements, including rejection levels, insertion loss (objective <= 1.5dB), power handling (50W CW), N-Type connectors, and maximum dimensions of 5x1.25x1.25 inches. The document also outlines the government's inspection and acceptance process, allowing 15 to 30 calendar days for review. The contractor is responsible for correcting any nonconforming supplies or services at no additional cost to the government. This file serves as a request for proposal or a statement of work for the procurement of these specialized electronic components.
The document clarifies critical dimension requirements for custom filters, emphasizing that the maximum overall dimensions (5x1.25x1.25 inches, excluding connectors) cannot be exceeded. While minor engineering tolerances (e.g., +/-0.1 inch) are acceptable due to manufacturing, any design requiring a longer length than specified is not permissible. The file states that all filters of the same type (e.g., all LPFs) must maintain consistent dimensions, and while different filter types (LPF, BPF1, BPF2) can vary in size from each other, each specific filter type must be consistent. The document also raises concerns about non-reproducible designs or changes in topology, noting that custom work often involves Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) fees. For further clarification on potential size variations, the client would need to specify the extent of variation, the timeframe, and the influencing factors.
