The government request for proposal (RFP) outlines the need for the provision of four NARDA FieldMan Logging Broadband Field Meters, complemented by three specific types of probes (EFD0391, EFD5091, HFD0361, and HFD0191). These instruments are designed for electric and magnetic field measurements across RF to microwave frequencies. The key specifications include isotropic probes covering 100 kHz to 60 GHz, a large graphical display, and backlit LCD for visibility in bright conditions. Additional features requested are automatic probe detection, extensive memory for logging up to 5000 results, a Graphical User Interface (GUI), numerous data display options, history mode, and GPS interface capability. The document emphasizes user-friendly functionalities, such as a keypad lock to prevent unintended inputs, an auto-off feature for battery conservation, and various measurement units. The overall objective of this RFP is to procure advanced measurement tools that enhance data collection and analysis for RF safety and compliance in relevant government projects.
