ALM-GN002-BLKG

RF Amplifiers Overview

The ALM-GN002-BLKG is a GaAs-based RF front-end module designed for GNSS applications, specifically covering the L1 band from 1.565 GHz to 1.606 GHz. It integrates a low-noise amplifier with a filter in an 8-MCOB surface-mount package. Key electrical parameters include a noise figure of 0.97 dB, a gain of 17.2 dB, and a P1dB compression point of -8 dBm. The device operates on a 2.7 V supply with a current consumption of 6.2 mA. It supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and is moisture sensitive.
