Default Are pi networks THAT INefficient?

Is that "low efficiency" of 30-50% really true?


50 ohm solid-state transceivers have a fixed filter
on their outputs which is often a multi-stage pi-
network. That fact alone should answer the question.


Doesn't the impedance transformation
ratio have an effect on the efficiency
of a pi network?
