The ENGAD00071 from MACOM is a high-performance solid state RF power amplifier designed to operate across the wide 2–18 GHz frequency range. Delivering a small signal gain of 26–30 dB, it provides stable and efficient amplification for broadband microwave and satellite communication systems.

This amplifier achieves a saturated output power of up to 2.5 W, with a saturated power range of 2–2.5 W, supporting high-power transmit chain requirements. It offers input and output return loss values between 14–16 dB to ensure effective impedance matching and minimal signal reflections. The device operates with a gate voltage of –1.5 V, a drain voltage range of 16–20 V, and draws up to 0.5 A of DC current, enabling controlled biasing within RF subsystem architectures.

Housed in a compact RoHS-compliant package measuring 0.25 × 0.45 × 0.055 inches, the ENGAD00071 is optimized for integration into size and weight-constrained assemblies while maintaining electrical performance across demanding operational conditions. Compact and broadband, the ENGAD00071 amplifier is ideal for electronic warfare systems, radar transmit circuits, telecom infrastructure, test and measurement platforms and military and commercial SATCOM applications requiring reliable wideband power amplification.
