TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
PE15A1004
PE15A1004 is a Ku-band coaxial low noise amplifier operating in the 12 to 18 GHz frequency range. The amplifier offers 3 dB
noise figure, 13 dBm minimum of saturated power and high 38 dB minimal small signal gain with the excellent gain flatness
of ±1.0dB max. This technical performance is achieved through the use of hybrid MIC design and advanced GaAs PHEMT
devices. The low noise amplifier requires typically a +12V DC power supply. The connectorized SMA module is unconditionally
stable and includes built-in voltage regulation, bias sequencing, and reverse bias protection for added reliability. The amplifier
operates over the temperature range of -40°C and +85°C.
