This paper presents a switch-less direct-detection Dicke receiver for millimeter-wave imaging applications. A configurable dual-path LNA (CDP-LNA) with negative transformer feedback and inductive positive feedback is proposed to remove lossy switches in traditional Dicke receivers. Under a 1.8 V sup...
