TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
PE15A5020
PE15A5020 is a wideband GaAs amplifier module that is ideal for wideband communications, pulsed applications including
radar, and medical and laboratory applications. It produces 3 Watts of linear, 10 MHz LTE. The high gain power coaxial
amplifier operating in the 0.8 to 2.5 GHz frequency range. The amplifier offers 40 dB typical small signal gain with the gain
flatness of ±1.5 dB typical. The amplifier has several protection circuits including load VSWR protection, low and high bias
protection, reverse bias protection and thermal protection. The connectorized SMA module is unconditionally stable and
includes built-in voltage regulation, bias sequencing, and requires typically a +12V DC power supply. The amplifier operates
over the temperature range of -20°C and +85°C and provides an RF Sample Port Output.
