Abstract
This chapter is going to present the theoretical background needed for the rest of the book. The blocks used in the design are going to be considered. This includes the quadrature voltage-controlled oscillator (QVCO), local oscillator (LO) buffer, injection-locked and static frequency dividers, low-noise amplifier (LNA) and the mixer.
