TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
PE15A4002
PE15A4002 is a 1W wideband coaxial power amplifier operating in the 12 to 18 GHz frequency range. The amplifier offers 30
dBm min of P1db and 33 dB typical small signal gain, with the excellent gain flatness of ±1.0dB max and an outstanding output
IP3 performance of 39 dBm. This excellent performance is achieved through the use of hybrid MIC design and advanced GaAs
PHEMT devices. The 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 -55°C and +85°C.
