    RF power amplifier is a type of electronic amplifier used to convert a lowpower radiofrequency signal into a larger signal of significant power. It is usually optimized to have high efficiency, high output Power(P1dB) compression, good return loss on the input and output, good gain, and optimum heat dissipation. RF amplifiers formerly were all made used vacuum tubes (called valves in some Englishspeaking countries.
