TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
PE15A3257
PE15A3257 is a broadband high gain GaAs PHEMT MMIC-based coaxial low noise amplifier, operating in the 2 to 18 GHz
frequency range. The amplifier offers 14 dBm of P1dB and 26 dB small signal gain, with the gain flatness of ±2.0 dB, along with
24 dBm pf IP3 performance. This low noise amplifier requires only a single positive DC supply, unconditionally stable, operates
over the temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, and characterized by a light weight (25 g) and small size (1.2”x1.0”x0.4”).
