TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
PE15A1003
PE151003 is a X-band coaxial low noise amplifier operating in the 8 to 12 GHz frequency range. The amplifier offers 2.2 dB
noise figure, 13 dBm minimum of saturated power and high 38 dB minimal small signal gain with the excellent gain flatness
of ±1.0dB max. This exceptional technical performance is achieved through the use of hybrid MIC design and advanced
GaAs PHEMT devices. The low noise 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 for added
reliability. The amplifier operates over the temperature range of -40°C and +85°C.
