Description of the procurement

We are seeking to acquire a fully anechoic radio chamber that is optimised for the
frequency range 1.0 to 86 GHz with particular attention to the 1.8-3.0 GHz, 24-31
GHz and 71-86 GHz frequency bands. The chamber is intended for low power
uses (<100 watts emitted power). The chamber will be utilised for far-field and
near-field antenna characterisation and over-the-air protocol testing for future 5G
telecommunication systems.
The chamber will be freestanding and will be housed inside a new building with
limited additional space. The desired chamber size will have internal dimensions
of approximately 10x6x6 metres though we are also considering a slightly smaller
chamber at 10x5x5 metres in size. Aspects of the final design and layout of the
chamber will be determined by the new building. Support from the successful
vendor will be expected at this stage to ensure correct preparation and
installation.
The installation date of the chamber is dependent on the construction of a new
facility but is expected to be late 2016 or early 2017.
