1 dB NF Input Protected Low Noise Amplifier, Operating from
10 MHz to 1 GHz with 30 dB Gain, 17 dBm P1dB and SMA
TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
PE15A63000
The PE15A63000 is an Input Protected Low Noise RF coaxial amplifier operating in the 10 MHz to 1 GHz frequency range.
The amplifier has a 1.0 dB typical noise figure and can handle up to 1 Watt CW input power without damage. Additional typical
perfromance includes 30dB small signal gain, 1.3:1 VSWR and +17dBm P1dB. The exceptional technical performance is
achieved through the use of a 3 stage hybrid MIC assembly that incorporates a low loss input Pin Diode Limiter protective
circuit followed by gain stages that use Enhancement Mode (Emode) GaAs pHEMT devices. The 50 Ohm SMA connectorized
module is unconditionally stable, includes built-in DC voltage regulation, and supports DC blocking Capacitors on the RF
ports. The Amplifier operates with a bias voltage of +12V typical and over the temperature range of -40°C to +75°C. This model
is RoHS compliant and has an EAR99 export classification.
