PE15A1089

RF Amplifiers Overview

The PE15A1089 is a low noise amplifier module from Pasternack designed for the 1 GHz to 3.5 GHz frequency range. It features a nominal gain of 43 dB and a typical noise figure of 1.0 dB. The device provides an output power at 1 dB compression (P1dB) of 18 dBm. It utilizes SMA connectors for RF interfacing. This component is categorized under RF amplifiers and wireless modules, intended for applications requiring high gain and low noise performance within the specified microwave band.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Provides high signal amplification with 43 dB gain across the operational bandwidth
• Maintains a low noise figure of 1.0 dB for sensitive signal reception
• Delivers 18 dBm output power capability at the 1 dB compression point

RF Amplifiers Applications

• Wireless communication systems requiring signal boosting
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces
• Microwave receiver front-end stages

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE15A1089 to confirm exact electrical tolerances and connector specifications before integration. Ensure that the system power supply and biasing requirements align with the manufacturer's recommendations for optimal noise figure and gain stability. Cross-reference the SMA connector type to guarantee mechanical compatibility with existing PCB or chassis layouts.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this model when a high gain of 43 dB is required alongside a minimal noise figure of 1.0 dB in the 1 to 3.5 GHz spectrum. Consider the 18 dBm P1dB output level to ensure it matches the dynamic range needs of subsequent stages. Evaluate the SMA interface against available board space and mating hardware constraints compared to other package options in the Low-Noise RF Amplifiers series.

RF Amplifiers Part Context
