PE15A5096

RF Amplifiers Overview

The Pasternack PE15A5096 is a broadband GaN RF power amplifier operating from 700 MHz to 6 GHz. It delivers 45 dB gain with a saturated output power (Psat) of 30W and a 1 dB compression point (P1dB) of 20W. The unit features SMA connectors and requires AC power input at 110/240VAC. Designed for bench-top use, it includes an integrated heatsink for thermal management in high-power applications.

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the PE15A5096 to confirm exact electrical tolerances and thermal requirements. Ensure compatibility with the required AC power supply voltage (110/240VAC). Confirm that the SMA connector type matches your test setup. Check for any recent product change notices or obsolescence alerts from Pasternack before finalizing procurement plans.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this model when a wide bandwidth covering 700 MHz to 6 GHz is required alongside high output power. The 45 dB gain reduces the need for additional amplification stages. Consider the physical size and weight due to the integrated heatsink. Verify that the AC power requirement fits the available infrastructure compared to DC-powered alternatives.
