[soft_radio] Usage of inductors on collectors of a GIlbert cell

[Frank]

Hello,
I took a course a few years ago that was with transistor circuits, but
not geared towards RF and the Prof mentioned once about using
inductors on the collectors of common emitter NPN amplifiers. I was
wondering if any of that works for a Gilbert cell downconverting to an
IF of 10.7MHz? I would assume that the inductors would be bad for
downconverting to zero IF.
