5.5 dB NF, 10 dBm P1dB, 18 GHz to 40 GHz, Low
Noise Broadband Amplifier, 18 dB Gain, 2.4mm
TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
PE15A3268
The PE15A3268 is a broadband coaxial low noise amplifier, operating in the 18 to 40 GHz frequency range. The amplifier
offers +10 dBm of P1dB minimum and 18-21 dB small signal gain, and ±2.0 dB maximum gain flatness. This low noise
amplifier requires only a single positive DC supply, in unconditionally stable, operates over the temperature range of -20°C to
85°C, and is Hermetically sealed. The Input/Output Connectors are 2.4mm Female.
