TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
PE15A7000
The PE15A7000 is a digitally controlled variable gain amplifier which operates from 100 MHz to 18.0 GHz. The gain level is 50
dB min with available attenuation ranging up to 60 dB, and output P1dB of 14 dBm typical. The unit has an attenuation control
knob on the front panel, but also has an RS-232 control feature. By connecting a serial cable from a remote PC computer
to the 9 pin d-subminiature connector at the rear of the unit, commands may be sent controlling the attenuation levels. The
PE3C2850, RS232 Female to RS232 Female Straight Cable, is provided to make the connection and provide the control of
the attenuation. A detailed operating procedure can be downloaded from the webpage. The 19 inch rack mount package size
is 1U High 10 inch Deep, and operates over a temperature range of -40oC to +85oC. The RF Input and Output Connectors
are SMA Female.
