ALND-WB-0008

Overview

The ALND-WB-0008 is a wideband low noise amplifier from Abracon LLC, designed for surface mount applications. It operates within a frequency range of 0.8 GHz to 4.0 GHz. The device features a typical gain of 22 dB and a noise figure of 0.7 dB. It requires a supply voltage of 5V with a supply current of 50mA. The component is housed in a 16-WFQFN exposed pad package measuring 3.00x3.00x1.00 mm.

Feature Summary

• Wideband operation covering 0.8 GHz to 4.0 GHz
• High gain performance of 22 dB
• Ultra-low noise figure of 0.7 dB
• Surface mount DFN-style packaging

Applications

• GNSS receiver front ends
• Satellite communication systems
• Broadband RF signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when ordering, as specifications may vary by revision. Confirm that the 5V supply requirement aligns with your system design, as this differs from standard 3.3V or lower voltage LNA options. Ensure the 16-WFQFN footprint matches your PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring broad frequency coverage up to 4.0 GHz with high linearity. The 22 dB gain and 0.7 dB noise figure make it suitable for sensitive receiver chains. Consider the 5V supply requirement during power budgeting, as it is higher than many modern low-voltage alternatives.
