TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
PE15A5021
PE15A5021 is a 3 Watt Ku Band high gain power coaxial amplifier operating in the 14.4 to 15.4 GHz frequency range. The
amplifier offers 40 dBm min of saturated power, 43 dB typical small signal gain with the gain flatness of ±2.0 dB typical and
provides a high OIP3 of 41 dBm typical. This excellent technical performance is achieved through the use of hybrid MIC
design, advanced GaAs devices and is ideal for High Data Rate Communications, Pulsed Applications including Radar, and
Medical and Laboratory Applications. The amplifier requires a +15V DC typical power supply. The connectorized SMA module
is unconditionally stable and includes built-in voltage regulation, load VSWR protection, low and high Bias Protection and 1
reverse bias protection. The amplifier operates over the temperature range of -20°C and +85°C.
