Hello everyone,
I realize the title is not so clear. Let me explain better my question.
I have designed a radio-frequency receiver using different single components (LNAs, mixer, PLLs, filters, etc). I put together the components, defined the architecture and simulated the system. Each components has about 3 mm x mm size.
Instead of following this approach, I could have searched on the market an integrated transceiver that implements a recevier and a transmitter in 10 mm x mm of area.
Obviously the second approach allows to save space on PCB. Anyhow, from taxonomy point of view, how are both approach known in the technical language?
Many thanks.
Antonio
