TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
PE15A4012
PE15A4012 is a broadband 6 W GaAs PHEMT MMIC-based coaxial power amplifier module designed to be used in a wide
range of commercial and defense applications in the 3.5 to 7.0 GHz frequency range. The amplifier offers 26 dB small signal
gain with the gain flatness of ±2 dB. This performance is achieved through the use of advanced GaAs PHEMT MMIC circuitry.
The amplifier operates over the temperature range of -55°C to 85°C, and characterized by a light weight (45 g) and small size
(1.5”x1.2”x0.56”). To facilitate an effective heat dissipation structure, the amplifier module has 4 screw slots for mounting to a
heat sink.
