    019-B50-High Frequency (HF) Electric Field Meter- Requirements (HWSW) 20240924.xlsx
    This government document outlines specifications for a handheld electrical measurement device, which is intended for use in a variety of operational contexts. Key electrical parameters include a frequency range of 1.5-30 MHz, a modulation type of Continuous Wave (CW), and operational electric fields ranging from 0.05 to 400 V/m. The device should have a battery life of at least 12 hours, operate within a temperature range of 14 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit, and include environmental protections like water resistance. The user interface requirements feature an application programming interface, a display capable of showing multiple traces, and the ability to save measurement data in various formats (XML, CSV, TXT). Additionally, the device must meet US Navy METCAL calibration standards and be lightweight, not exceeding 2 pounds. The overall purpose of this document is to serve as a Request for Proposals (RFP) for manufacturers to design and produce a device that meets specified functional, physical, and data handling criteria necessary for conducting accurate electromagnetic field measurements in demanding environments. The specifications ensure that the device is practical for users in both field and laboratory settings while maintaining regulatory compliance.
