TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
PE15A5018
PE15A5018 is a 4W Linear wideband GaAs amplifier module for Wideband communications, pulsed applications including
radar and medical and laboratory applications. The amplifier operating in the 2.3 to 2.7 GHz frequency range. The amplifier
offers 14 Watts typ of P1dB power and high 50 dB typical small signal gain with the gain flatness of ±0.5 dB typical. 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, and thermal protection for added reliability. The
amplifier operates over the temperature range of -20°C and +85°C.
