Low Noise Amplifier: PE2-1020-R518-15-SFF

February 12, 2013

PE2-1020-R518-15-SFF Rev  BPMI Model No. PE2-1020-R518-12-SFF is a low noise amplifier that offers a positive gain slope versus frequency. This type of amplifier is useful when trying to equalize frequency flatness over a broad bandwidth. This model provides 10 dB of gain at 500 MHz and 20 dB of gain at 18 GHz.

The noise figure is 10 dB at 500 MHz and 9 dB at 18 GHz. The OP 1dB is +14 dBm minimum and the maximum VSWR is 2.5:1. The operating voltage is +15 VDC and the current draw is 140 mA typical.

This model is supplied in PMI's standard PE2 housing.
