TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
PE15A4018
PE15A4018 is a broadband multi-octave RF high gain coaxial 1W power amplifier, operating in the 30 MHz to 3 GHz frequency
range. The amplifier offers 30 dBm of P1dB and 38 dB high small signal gain, with the excellent gain flatness of ±1.0 dB max,
along with an outstanding IP3 performance of 39 dBm. This technical performance is achieved through the use of advanced
GaAs PHEMT circuitry. This power amplifier requires only a single positive DC supply, is unconditionally stable, and operates
over the temperature range of -40°C to 75°C.
