TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
PE15A3259
PE15A3259 is a Broadband High Gain GaAs PHEMT MMIC-based coaxial Low Noise Amplifier, operating in the 6 to 18
GHz frequency range. The amplifier offers 2.5 dB Noise Figure, +22 dBm of P1dB and 38 dB small signal gain, with the gain
flatness of ±2.0 dB, along with +30 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 +75°C, and characterized by a light weight (25 g) and
small size (1.2”x1.0”x0.4”).
