PE15B5000

RF Amplifiers Overview

The PE15B5000 is an S-Band high-power bidirectional amplifier designed for the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz frequency range. It delivers a transmit gain of 20 dB with a P1dB output of 20 dBm and a receive gain of 11 dB. The device features a noise figure of 2.5 dB in receive mode and requires a DC supply of 28V at 2400mA. It supports manual transmit/receive switching with a typical transition time of 1 microsecond.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Bidirectional amplification capability for simultaneous transmission and reception support
• High linearity AB-class LDMOS semiconductor technology construction
• Compact environmental sealing for robust operational durability
• Single quick-connect circular locking connector for power and control integration

RF Amplifiers Applications

• Drone (UAV) communication systems
• L-band and S-band radar applications
• Military radio networks
• Commercial air traffic control infrastructure

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific unit matches the PE15B5000 designation for S-Band operations between 2.4 and 2.5 GHz. Confirm compatibility with the required 28V DC power supply and ensure the inclusion of necessary control cabling, such as the PE15K5000, for proper interface implementation during installation.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this model when operating within the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz spectrum requiring high power output. It is suitable for half-duplex designs supporting 802.11g and 802.11b standards. Choose this component over broadband variants if narrowband performance and specific S-Band characteristics are required for the application.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This component belongs to Pasternack's new series of coaxial packaged bidirectional amplifiers. The product line includes L-Band, S-Band, and broadband models designed to maximize data rates through advanced low-noise reception and high-quality signal transmission capabilities within a single sealed unit.

RF Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

The PE15B5001 serves as a functional substitute for L-Band applications operating between 1.35 and 1.39 GHz. For broader frequency coverage requirements spanning 30 MHz to 3 GHz, the PE15B5002 provides a compatible alternative with adjusted gain specifications.
