The PE15A5104 from Pasternack is a Temperature Compensated Low Noise Amplifier that operates from 2 to 8 GHz. It provides a small signal gain of 40 dB with a noise figure of less than 5 dB and has a P1dB of 22 dBm. This LNA is based on a GaAs FET design that utilizes PIN diode compensation circuitry that adjusts gain levels as the device is exposed to temperature variations and has an operating temperature range from -55°C to 85°C. It requires a DC supply from 12 to 15 V and consumes 350 mA of current. The amplifier is designed to meet MIL-STD-202 environmental test conditions and is available in a module that measures 1.62 x 0.80 x 0.40 inches with SMA-female connectors.
The PE15A5104 is ideal for aerospace and defense, test and measurement, microwave radio systems, military & commercial, communication systems, research & development, RF front ends, SATCOM, wireless communications, and unmanned system applications.
