Spanning X-band to D-band, this session highlights wideband receiver front-end techniques. Featured papers discuss reflectionless concepts with fast AGC, transformer-assisted designs, ultra-wideband sub-THz LNAs, and high-linearity passive mixer-first receivers in RFSOI. These contributions address the critical trade-offs in noise, gain flatness, and interference robustness required for next-generation multi-gigabit sensing and communication.
