Description

NPL wishes to procure a radio frequency (RF) VNA with a frequency range of at least 30kHz to 8GHz. This will be a standalone two-port VNA capable of making swept frequency measurements. It will be used principally for the calibration of passive antennas in the frequency range 30MHz to 8GHz and will also support calibrations of other devices (such as Comparison Noise Emitters) to frequencies as low as 10kHz. It must have a GPIB interface and must not require rack- or chassis-mounting. A time-domain software option is desirable.

Participation is via the London Universities eSourcing Portal. Participants must provide qualification information.
