TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
PE15A3506
PE15A3506 is a 2W wideband coaxial power amplifier operating in the 6 to 12 GHz frequency range. The amplifier offers 33
dBm min of P1db and high 47 dB typical small signal gainwith the excellent gain flatness of ±1.5dB max and an outstanding
output IP3 performance of 42 dBm. This excellent technical performance is achieved through the use of hybrid MIC design and
advanced GaAs PHEMT devices. The amplifier requires typically a +12V DC power supply. The connectorized SMA module is
uncondionally stable and includes built-in voltage regulation, bias sequencing, and reverse bias protection for added reliability.
The amplifier operates over the temperature range of -55°C and +85°C.
