Precision RF Power Transfer Standard – 2.4 mm Connector Type

The contract seeks the design and fabrication of two high-precision RF power transfer standards equipped with 2.4 mm connectors, intended for calibration applications operating up to 50 GHz. These standards are critical for maintaining accuracy in high-frequency measurement systems and must meet stringent performance criteria to ensure traceability and reliability in metrology environments. The work involves advanced engineering to achieve precise impedance matching, low insertion loss, and stable thermal characteristics under operational conditions. This subcontract, issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology under the U.S. Department of Commerce, has a response deadline of May 5, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 334516, reflecting its focus on communications equipment manufacturing. The project requires technical expertise in RF microwave components and calibration standards, with performance expected to support NIST’s mission of advancing measurement science. While specific place of performance and point of contact details are not provided, the deliverables must align with federal calibration requirements and international standards for high-frequency metrology.
