The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) seeks information on vendors that can provide a Microwave Lock-In Amplifier. The NIST Quantum Electronics Group (QEG) manages and operates a testbed to openly disseminate standard protocols to reproducibly measure the performance characteristics of superconducting microwave resonators used in quantum computing circuits. An important measurement capability of this testbed is high-speed parameter extraction of superconducting resonators at low excitation powers using the Pound–Drever–Hall technique. NIST requires a high frequency lock-in amplifier operating at frequencies up to 8 GHz to enable this rapid screening capability. Please review the attached Requirements and Specifications document for specific details to meet all Government requirements.
