RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and RoHS compliance status directly with Pasternack or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the SMA connector type matches your system requirements. Ensure thermal management solutions are adequate for the 31 dBm output power level during operation.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth from 100 MHz to 18 GHz is required alongside moderate power output. The 37 dB gain is suitable for cascaded stages where significant signal boost is needed without excessive noise addition. Compare against higher power variants if saturation levels exceed 31 dBm requirements.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This model belongs to the Pasternack RF Amplifier series, specifically categorized as a medium power amplifier. It shares the SMA interface standard found in other Pasternack modules but differs in its specific frequency coverage and gain profile compared to low-noise or high-power distinct series.

RF Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

No public substitute part numbers are confirmed in the provided documentation. Cross-reference with other Pasternack models such as PE15A4058F only if frequency ranges and power levels align with specific application needs.
