14 RF IF PA Architectures “Gain stage” is one transistor with passive elements “Active” components often limited to 2 or 3 transistors (gain stages) in signal path Transistor design very important! zMany parallel transistors – often look like mini-circuits themselves Passive components just as important as transistors! zCircuits must be tunable to account for …
