40 dB Gain, 19 dBm, 6 GHz to 18 GHz, Limiting Amplifier, -20 to 20 dBm Pin, SMA TECHNICAL DATA SHEET PE15A6012 Model Number PE15A6012 is a 6 to 18 GHz wideband limiting coaxial amplifier. The model operates with an input power range of -20 to +20 dBm and maintains a limited output of +19 dBm minimum. This connectorized amplifier offers a flat 40 dB gain and a gain flatness of ±2.0 dB independent of the input. This excellent technical performance is achieved through the use of hybrid MIC design and advanced GaAs PHEMT devices, and supplied the power typically from a +12V DC power supply. The connectorized SMA module includes built-in voltage regulation, bias sequencing, and reverse bias protection for added reliability. The module is hermetically sealed for extreme environmental conditions. Features • • • • • • • 6 GHz to 18 GHz Frequency Range Wide Input Dynamic Range: -20 to +20 dBm Psat: 19dBm Min.
