PE15A63000

RF Amplifiers Overview

The PE15A63000 is an input-protected low noise amplifier manufactured by Pasternack Enterprises. It operates within a frequency range of 10 MHz to 1 GHz. The device provides a small signal gain of 30 dB and achieves a noise figure of 1 dB. Key performance metrics include a 1 dB compression point (P1dB) of 17 dBm and an IP3 of 24 dBm. The component utilizes SMA connectors for interfacing.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Integrated input protection circuitry to safeguard the amplifier against electrical overstress
• Low noise figure specification optimized for sensitive signal reception applications
• High linearity performance indicated by specified third-order intercept point

RF Amplifiers Applications

• RF test and measurement instrumentation
• Defense and military communication systems
• Telecom antenna tower component jumper connections
• Production environment signal conditioning

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific unit received matches the PE15A63000 designation on the datasheet. Confirm SMA connector gender and impedance ratings align with system requirements. Ensure handling procedures respect electrostatic discharge precautions typical for active RF components. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest revision notes for any updates to pinout or mechanical dimensions prior to integration.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10 MHz to 1 GHz bandwidth is required alongside a 1 dB noise figure. The 30 dB gain and 17 dBm P1dB suit applications needing moderate amplification without immediate saturation. Input protection features make it suitable for environments where transient voltages may occur. Compare against other Pasternack models like PE15A1011 if different gain or frequency ranges are needed.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This part belongs to Pasternack's portfolio of RF amplifiers designed for rugged and high-quality interconnect solutions. It complements their coaxial cable assemblies in complete RF system deployments. The series targets laboratory, defense, and telecom sectors requiring reliable signal integrity across defined frequency bands.

RF Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

PE15A1011 is a similar low noise amplifier from Pasternack operating in the same 10 MHz to 1 GHz range. Verify if the alternative meets identical gain, noise figure, and protection specifications before substitution.
