TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
PE15A4021
PE15A4021 is a K-band GaAs MMIC-based high gain and high power ouput coaxial amplifier, operating in the 18 to 26.5 GHz
frequency range. The amplifier offers 31 dBm of P1dB and 33 dB high small signal gain, with the excellent gain flatness of
±1.25 dB, along with an outstanding IP3 performance of 38 dBm. This technical performance is achieved through the use of
advanced GaAs PHEMT circuitry. This power amplifier is Unconditionally stable, requires only a single positive DC supply, and
operates over the temperature range of -40°C to 75°C.
