Step 7: Importing the LNA for the Receiver
As with the MMIC PA, the LNA model was imported from another project and bondwires and bias lines are added. In Figure 17
the schematic, layout, and 3D layout have been combined into the model.

Importing Parts for the Receiver
Next, the parts for the receiver were imported, including an attenuator and a phase shifter (Figure 18).

Integrating the RX Chain
Integration of the RX chain was carried out in the circuit schematic (Figure 19).
