TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
PE15A5037F
The PE15A5037F is a high gain Class A/AB coaxial Linear Power Amplifier operating in the 1000 to 3000 MHz frequency
range. The amplifier offers a Wide Dynamic Range with 8 Watts typical saturated power, 44 dB typical small signal gain, ±1.5
dB gain flatness maximum, and a high Output IP3 of +48 dBm typical. The amplifier requires typically a +13V DC power supply,
is unconditionally stable, and operates over the temperature range of 0°C and +50°C. The unit includes a Heatsink and Fan.
