PE15A3290

RF Amplifiers Overview

The PE15A3290 is a low noise broadband amplifier module from Pasternack, designed for the 2 GHz to 8 GHz frequency range. It features an SMA interface and delivers a gain of 14 dB. Key electrical specifications include a noise figure of 2.5 dB, a P1dB output power of 13 dBm, and a maximum input VSWR of 2:1. The unit operates as a general-purpose RF amplifier IC module.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Broadband amplification across the 2 GHz to 8 GHz spectrum
• Low noise figure performance for signal integrity
• SMA connector interface for standard integration

RF Amplifiers Applications

• General purpose RF testing equipment
• Instrumentation systems requiring wideband amplification
• Telecommunications infrastructure components

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE15A3290 to confirm exact DC bias requirements and thermal characteristics. Ensure that the SMA connectors match the system impedance and mating hardware specifications. Cross-reference the manufacturer's official documentation for any updates regarding RoHS compliance status or pinout definitions before finalizing the design integration.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth covering 2 GHz to 8 GHz is required with moderate gain. The 2.5 dB noise figure makes it suitable for sensitive receiver front-ends. Compare against other Pasternack models like the PE15A3300 if higher frequencies up to 40 GHz are needed, or the PE15A3308 if lower frequencies around 3 GHz suffice.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This part belongs to the Pasternack Broadband Amplifiers series. It is categorized under Wireless & RF Modules. The product line focuses on providing standardized RF solutions with defined impedance matching and connector types for easy system integration.

RF Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

The PE15A3294 serves as a related alternative within the same family but operates in the 6 GHz to 18 GHz range. Verify frequency overlap and gain requirements before substituting.
