Description
The PE15A5106 is a temperature compensated Low Noise amplifier that covers a broadband frequency from 2 GHz to 18 GHz. The GaAs FET design utilizes PIN diode compensation circuitry that adjusts gain levels as the device is exposed to temperature variations. At high temperatures, the gain level will be about 1 to 1.5 dB lower and at low temperatures the gain level will be about 1 to 1.5 dB higher. The gain level will always be higher than the minimum specified gain level of 35 dB over the full operational temperature range of -55°C to +85°C. Impressive typical performance for the 50 ohm design includes 5.5 dB Noise Figure +22 dBm P1dB, and 1.9:1 VSWR. DC Bias Voltage ranges from +12V to +15V with 550 mA DC current. The rugged and compact Mil Grade aluminum package supports SMA female spark plug connectors, and is designed to meet a series of Mil-STD-202 environmental test conditions including Altitude, Vibration, Humidity, and Shock.
