Dear Forum,
I want to understand the need of .lin analyze. It is not clear for me when this analyze is needed and what does it measure.
Please help.

It would be helpful if you could tellus what simulator engine you are using.

The HSPICE .LIN analysis is a linear network analysis. It is used to calculate noise and small-signal transfer parameters (i.e. S-parameters) between the terminals of a network. The network terminals are identified by using the port element.

S-parameters are commonly used by RF and analog engineers to describe network characteristics.
Here is a link to one of the best application notes that I know of to explain what S-parameters are and how they are used.
