AM02016044SF-5H Product Overview
The AM02016044SF-5H is a broadband GaN solid-state power amplifier designed for RF and microwave systems operating across multiple frequency bands.
It covers a typical frequency range of 2GHz to 16GHz and delivers approximately 25W of CW saturated output power at a 28V supply. Its typical small-signal gain of 50dB allows relatively low-level RF signals to drive the amplifier toward full output power.
The wide bandwidth makes the module suitable for systems that would otherwise require several narrowband amplifiers. It is internally matched to 50Ω and fitted with female SMA connectors for RF input and output.

AMCOM identifies the AM02016044SF-5H as a customisable amplifier module. Final electrical, mechanical and environmental requirements can therefore be discussed during the quotation process.
Typical Applications
The AM02016044SF-5H can be used in:
Radar systems
Fixed microwave backhaul
RF instrumentation and measurement
Electronic warfare platforms
Broadband transmitter development
Military and aerospace electronics
Multi-band RF test systems
These applications are listed in AMCOM’s official product documentation.
TTL Control and Temperature Monitoring
The amplifier includes a TTL control input for enabling or disabling the RF output.
Less than 1V: RF output off
Greater than 2.5V: RF output on
Switching time: less than 5µs
An analogue temperature-monitor output is also provided. The approximate relationship is:
Vout = 0.45V + (10mV × temperature in °C)
For example, a module temperature of 50°C produces an output of approximately 0.95V.
Mechanical and Thermal Integration
The AM02016044SF-5H measures approximately 6 × 4 × 0.75 inches and uses an aluminium housing with silver-nickel plating. It has six through-holes for secure attachment to a heatsink or metal carrier.
A suitable heatsink must be installed beneath the module during operation. Thermal design should consider the 4.7A quiescent current, approximately 8.5A current at saturated output, ambient temperature and intended operating duty cycle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What frequency range does the AM02016044SF-5H cover?
The typical operating range is 2–16GHz. AMCOM lists 3–15GHz as the minimum guaranteed frequency range in the preliminary datasheet.
How much output power does it provide?
At a 28V supply, the amplifier typically delivers 44dBm, equivalent to approximately 25W, of saturated CW output power. At 24V, typical saturated output power is approximately 43.5dBm.
What input power is required?
With approximately 50dB of typical gain, the required input level depends on the target output power and operating frequency. AMCOM specifies a maximum RF input rating of +6dBm.
Does the amplifier support RF on/off control?
Yes. The AM02016044SF-5H includes a TTL control input with a switching time of less than 5µs.
Does the module require external cooling?
Yes. AMCOM specifies that a proper heatsink must be used to transfer heat from the bottom of the amplifier module.
Is the AM02016044SF-5H customisable?
Yes. AMCOM currently lists this power amplifier module as customisable. Custom frequency, gain, power, connector or mechanical requirements should be confirmed when requesting a quotation.
