PE15A5011

RF Amplifiers Overview

The PE15A5011 is a high-power GaN solid-state RF amplifier manufactured by Pasternack. It operates within a frequency range of 30 MHz to 2.5 GHz and features SMA connectors for signal interfacing. The device provides a typical gain of 43 dB and delivers an output power saturation (Psat) of 10 Watts. Rated at 40 dBm, this amplifier is designed for applications requiring significant power amplification across the specified bandwidth.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Utilizes Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology for high-power performance
• Provides 43 dB typical gain across the operational frequency range
• Features SMA interface connectors for standard RF integration

RF Amplifiers Applications
