Abstract

The opening chapter of this book seeks a research gap in the context of LNAs for millimeter-wave applications. It is organized as follows: LNA as a part of the millimeter-wave transceiver system are introduced. Following this introduction, some fundamental LNA concepts are presented, which aim to assist in defining a research gap relating to this topic. This serves as an aid in formulating research questions that are to be answered throughout the book. The chapter is concluded with the section on the organization of the book. As this chapter is merely an introduction, many concepts mentioned here will become more clear only later in the book.
