Procurement of a Logic Analyzer 4 Gb/s_68CH

Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin, the Contracting Authority) plans to procure a Logic Analyzer 4 Gb/s 68CH for current research in the field of high-speed data converters for communication networks. The Logic Analyzer to be delivered is required for the current research focus and serves, among other things, for the development of microchips for future data communication in mobile networks (6G mobile) and in server centers (Terabit Ethernet). Only a new device is to be delivered. Refurbished products, returns, etc., or grey imports are excluded. Any additional costs beyond the total offer price cannot be claimed from the Contracting Authority afterwards. A significant research focus of the Mixed Signal Circuit Design department is the development of microchips with high-speed Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC). To reliably measure the corresponding developed circuits, the digital output signal must be captured with a Logic Analyzer at sufficient speed (data rate) on a sufficient number of channels. For current developments in the Mixed Signal Circuit Design department, a data rate of at least 4 Gb/s is required, which can be measured on at least 68 channels. This need for a high data rate arises from the development of microchips for future data communication in mobile networks (6G mobile) and in server centers (Terabit Ethernet). The number of channels arises from the necessity that multiple channels must be used to achieve the required data transmission speeds (Time-Interleaving). Furthermore, in so-called MIMO (Multiple Inputs Multiple Outputs) and Beam-Forming technology, multiple channels are used to increase the performance of wireless data transmission. The performance/offer includes transport, delivery to the exact room, free customer hotline, documentation (user manual, handbook), and a 12-month warranty. The maximum price is EUR 252,100.00 net and is binding for all bidders/consortia. This means that bidders/consortia who submit a higher offer price will be excluded from further proceedings.
