NIT Patna Communication Engineering Laboratory Equipment Procurement

This tender, originating from the Department of Higher Education under the Ministry of Education, is issued by the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Patna, located at Ashokrajpath, Mahendru, Patna-800005 (Bid Number: GEM/2026/B/8099004). The procurement pertains to essential Communication Engineering Laboratory Equipment, with a specific focus on a comprehensive Software Defined Radio (SDR) Active Learning Module. The Bid Start Date is October 16, 2026, at 1:57 PM, and the Bid End Date is November 6, 2026, at 2:00 PM. The Bill of Quantities (BOQ) outlines the supply of a total of 71 units of this specialized equipment. Key components of the required SDR kit include a 2x2 MIMO configuration, an enclosure kit, SMA cables and attenuators, loop-back kits, sampling and reconstruction kits, pulse code modulation (PCM) generation and demodulation kits, and Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM), Pulse Position Modulation (PPM), and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modulation and demodulation kits. The tender also specifies the need for various RF cables and adapters, including RG402 Coax RF Cable (5 ft to 6.6 ft) with 3.5mm male connectors at both ends, and a range of 2.4 mm to 3.5 mm adapters (male to male, female to female, male to female, and female to male). Furthermore, the requirement extends to an RF Power Amplifier with a reworkable test board, a portable antenna tripod stand with minimum reflectivity, pyramidal RF absorber panels (9-inch pyramid height with wheels), a non-reflective antenna positioner with precise single-axis manual rotation, and non-reflective, height-adjustable masts and antenna holders for both transmit and receive antennas. This procurement is crucial for enhancing the practical learning and research capabilities within the Communication Engineering laboratory at NIT Patna.
