Ciao Wireless, Inc. | Custom RF & Microwave Amplifier Systems

Ciao Wireless, Inc. is a U.S. based designer and manufacturer of RF and microwave hybrid amplifiers, amplifier assemblies, and radial power combiners/dividers for commercial, aerospace, and defense applications. Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Camarillo, California, the company develops high performance RF products for applications including electronic warfare (EW), radar, satellite communications (SATCOM), test & measurement, UAVs, missile systems, telemetry, wireless communications, and space-qualified platforms.

Ciao Wireless specializes in thin film hybrid microwave technology, enabling compact, low-noise, and highly reliable amplifier solutions across frequencies from 30 kHz to 52 GHz (with some custom solutions extending to 60 GHz).

Key Product Highlights & Selection Guide

Key products include low noise amplifiers (LNAs), broadband amplifiers, medium and high power amplifiers, limiting amplifiers, GPS amplifiers, and radial power combiners/dividers. Products are manufactured using quality processes that comply with AS9100D, ISO 9001:2015, and applicable MIL STD and NASA/IPC requirements.

Product CategoryTypical Selection Parameters / Specifications
Ultra Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs)Frequency range, gain, noise figure (as low as 0.3 dB), P1dB, supply voltage
Broadband AmplifiersFrequency coverage, gain, output power, gain flatness, linearity
