In practice, the number of stages is limited by the diminishing input signal resulting from attenuation on the input line. Means of determining the optimal number of stages are discussed below. Bandwidth is typically limited by impedance mismatches brought about by frequency dependent device parasitics.
In reality, the number of stages is restricted by the decreasing input signal resulting from attenuation on the input line. Methods for determining the ideal number of stages are discussed below. Bandwidth is typically limited by impedance mismatches caused by frequency-dependent device parasitics.
