2 Watt, 6 GHz to 12 GHz, Medium Power Broadband Amplifier, 37 dB Gain, 42 dBm IP3, 6 dB NF, SMA TECHNICAL DATA SHEET PE15A4001 PE15A4001 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 37 dB typical small signal gain with 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.
