Acknowledgements

I didn’t expect that writing another book would be challenging, considering that I have written previous material. This was mainly due to the fast‐moving technology and because systems are getting more complex, but I had to keep up with it. Putting all knowledge gained in a simple form and sharing it give me great satisfaction.

My first thanks go to the Engineer to Engineer (e2e.ti.com) community that I found extremely generous and very helpful.

I am indebted to Cathy Wicks, Jocken Schyma, Jason Brand, Garry Clarkson and Rogerio Almeida, the key motivators and initiators for writing this book.

I would like to express my gratitude to the following reviewers for their insightful suggestions and comments: Pekka Varis, Dave Bell, Eric Stotzer, John Smrstik, Jennifer Stadelmann, Ran Katzur, Steve Preissig, Naga Chandrashekar, Greg Peake and Filip Moerman.

I owe my thanks to Professor John Rarity, Professor Andy Nix, Professor Dave Cliff, Professor David May, Dr Richard Nock, Dr Ross Xi, Dr Sergey Vityazev, Mr James Webley and all my colleagues at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Bristol, for their encouragement and support. I also thank all my students, and in particular Scott Tancock, Han Cui, Aleksandar Stanoev, Victor Prokhorov, Aliaksei Mikhailiuk, Akmal Ahmed, Ranger Fan, Elliott Worsey and Charles Khoury who were always eager to explore challenging issues, verify and test applications.

My thanks to my friends Professor Hamdani Abdelsalam, Judge Shamin ...
