mention a few of the circuit's disadvantages?
It takes up more space than lumped-element circuits and is problematic in hand-held mobile devices which has limited space.
Distributed-element circuit
but take up more space than lumped-element circuits. This is problematic in mobile devices (especially hand-held ones), where space is at a premium.
what is distributed-element circuit? They are electrical circuits composed of lengths of transmission lines or other distributed components. what are some active components in it? diodes, transistors

Distributed-element circuit [SEP] Advantages and disadvantages
Distributed-element circuits are cheap and easy to manufacture in some formats, but take up more space than lumped-element circuits. This is problematic in mobile devices (especially hand-held ones), where space is at a premium. If the operating frequencies are not too high, the designer may miniaturise components rather than switching to distributed elements. However, parasitic elements and resistive losses in lumped components are greater with increasing frequency as a proportion of the nominal value of the lumped-element impedance. In some cases, designers may choose a distributed-element design (even if lumped components are available at that frequency) to benefit from improved quality.
