The stages of the technology of designing signal generators and power amplifiers of the radio frequency range are considered. It is shown that in radio engineering devices with digital antenna arrays, part of the functions of the signal generator can be transferred to a transceiver module, turning the signal generator into a multi-channel device. At the same time, the development of the structure of the radio frequency path should be carried out based on a unified approach that considers the specifics of signal synthesis circuits, the output power level of the frequency converter and the output power of the amplifier. The possibility of using a unified approach to the analysis of noise introduced into the generated signal by digital synthesis and signal amplification schemes has been determined. It is demonstrated by concrete examples that the use of new materials makes it possible to effectively solve the problem of minimizing parasitic connections between cascades of signal generation and amplification at the stage of topological design of boards and design of enclosures.
