1773/RFQ/SC - Autotuner Basic Unit

Synopsis & Brief - In microwave processing technologies, it is fundamental to measure the magnitude and phase of refection coefficient (Input, reflected and absorbed power at defined frequency). An autotuner is a high-power automatic impedance analyzer and matching system that integrates an Analyzer and a motorized three-stub tuner (mototuner) in one compact unit. The Mototuner uses the data measured by the Analyzer to provide a predictive automatic impedance matching of time-varying loads and dielectric properties in microwave heating.

It is difficult to measure phase of refection coefficient for continuous wave and pulsed generator power forms- specialist equipment, data logging & visualization able to work autonomously in one compact unit from external computer is required for this purpose. This document outlines our requirements for an Autotuner unit.

Objectives - To secure value for money goods and services for the UoN

Additional information: TENDERERS MUST EXPRESS THEIR INTEREST THROUGH FIRST REGISTERING ON THE UNIVERSITYS E-TENDERING SYSTEM https://in-tendhost.co.uk/universityofnottingham/ Non-compliant expressions of interest (EOI) will not be considered or acknowledged. The university reserves the right to cancel the tender process at any stage. The University does not accept any liability for any costs incurred in tendering.

To EXPRESS INTEREST: Please first register on the eTendering system then Login and go to Tenders. Find the project scroll down to View Details and then scroll down to the Express Interest` button at the foot on the right hand side.
