AM07511242SF-3H Product Overview
The AM07511242SF-3H is a broadband GaAs power amplifier module designed for microwave systems operating across the X-band region.
It covers a nominal frequency range of 7.5GHz to 11.2GHz and typically delivers 41.5dBm, equivalent to approximately 14W of saturated CW output power. Typical small-signal gain is 22.5dB.
The amplifier uses a single +12V to +15V supply and is internally matched to 50Ω. Female SMA connectors are provided for RF input and output, simplifying integration into connectorised microwave assemblies.

Typical Applications
The AM07511242SF-3H is suitable for:
X-band radar systems
Fixed microwave backhaul
RF and microwave instrumentation
Broadband transmitter modules
Laboratory test equipment
Military and aerospace RF systems
Radar, fixed microwave backhaul and instrumentation are identified as primary applications in the AMCOM datasheet.
Mechanical and Thermal Integration
The amplifier measures approximately 6.0 × 3.6 × 0.75 inches and includes six mounting slots for installation on an external heatsink.
A suitable heatsink must make good thermal contact with the bottom of the module. Thermal design should account for the 5.6A quiescent current, approximately 9A current at P1dB, up to 10A near P3dB and the intended CW operating duration.
Frequently Asked Questions
What frequency range does the AM07511242SF-3H cover?
AMCOM describes the amplifier as covering 7.5–11.2GHz. The datasheet performance table lists 7.8–11.2GHz as the typical range and 8–10.5GHz as the minimum specified range.
How much output power does it provide?
The amplifier typically delivers 41.5dBm at P3dB, equivalent to approximately 14W of CW RF output power. Typical output at 1dB compression is 40.5dBm.
Is the AM07511242SF-3H a GaN amplifier?
No. This model is based on GaAs power-amplifier technology. AMCOM also offers separate GaN SSPA and GaN MMIC product families.
What power supply is required?
The module operates from a single +12V to +15V DC supply. Typical quiescent current is 5.6A.
Does the module require a heatsink?
Yes. AMCOM specifies that a proper heatsink must be used to remove heat from the bottom of the amplifier package.
What RF connectors are used?
The AM07511242SF-3H uses female SMA connectors for both RF input and RF output.
