Abstract

While the previous chapters (Part I) encompassed LNAs operating in different regimes, not only the millimeter-wave, this chapter focuses on state-of-the-art LNAs for millimeter-wave applications only. A number of configurations published in the last five to ten years are explored, with the emphasis on their advantages over other published works, as well as disadvantages and the identification of their weaknesses. Suggestions for improvement of some configurations are listed as the chapter progresses; however, ways to optimize LNAs and their components will be discussed in detail in two more chapters, Chaps. 8 and 9, with some final remarks left for Chap. 10.
