TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
PE15A1012
PE15A1012 is a wideband low noise RF coaxial power amplifier operating in the 10 MHz to 1 GHz frequency range. The
amplifier offers 0.8 dB noise figure, 18 dBm of P1dB and 40 dB small signal gain with the excellent gain flatness of ±1 dB.
This exceptional 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.
