Delivery of broadband SDR devices

Two broadband Software-Defined Radio (SDR) devices of the type National Instruments X420 are to be procured for research on Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) Integrated-Sensing-and-Communication (ISAC) and Physical-Layer-Security (PhySec) algorithms. This tender calls for special products to ensure compatibility with existing software, drivers, and hardware at the institute. The institute already has 8 units of USRP X410, 8 units of X440, and 4 units of B210 integrated into various measurement setups, and our driver software is specifically adapted for these devices. Additionally, an 8-port LO (Local Oscillator) distribution module is required to synchronize the local oscillators of all SDR frontends, thereby ensuring phase coherence and low phase noise values.; Place of performance: Official designation: Barkhausen Institut gGmbH; Street, house number: Schweriner Straße 1; Postal code: 01067; City: Dresden; Country: Germany e) If applicable, number, size, and type of individual lots: not applicable, as no lot-based award f) Ancillary offers are not permitted g) Execution period: Start: not specified; End: 30.11.2026 h) The tender documents will be provided on the tender platform evergabe.de. i) Offer deadline: 03.08.2026, 10:30 AM; Binding period: 18.09.2026 j) Amount of security deposits required: not specified k) Essential payment terms or reference to the documents containing them: The General Contract Conditions of VOL/B and the tender documents, including the request for proposal, apply to the execution of the services. l) Documents to be submitted with the offer or participation request for the contracting authority to assess the applicant's or bidder's suitability: 1) Legally binding* signed declarations in text form according to § 123, 124 GWB, stating that there are no grounds for exclusion (Appendix A) 2) Proof of registration in the commercial or trade register of the member state in which the applicant is based (copy, max. 1 year old).
