TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
PE15A3258
PE15A3258 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 3 dB Noise Figure, +15 dBm of P1dB and 33 dB small signal gain, with the gain flatness
of ±1.0 dB, along with +25 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 (28 g) and
small size (1.5”x1.0”x0.4”).
