RF Analog Impairments Modeling for Communication Systems Simulation: Application to OFDM-based Transceivers

Acknowledgments

First, I would like to thank Frederic Declercq, Analog IC design manager at Marvell Switzerland, and Kevin Koehler, Staff DSP engineer at Marvell Switzerland, for having accepted to review the whole manuscript. Their valuable comments on both content and form, and our technical discussions allowed me to improve the book from its original version to the final delivery. Thanks also to Nils Rinaldi, Project manager at EPFL, for his comments on Chapter 2.

I am grateful to Patrick Clement, Director of Marvell Switzerland, for his trust and encouragement to write this book.

I wish to thank Peter Mitchell, Publisher at John Wiley & Sons responsible for electrical and electronics engineering books, who proposed this book project to me. I also thank Liz Wingett, Project Editor at John Wiley & Sons, for her support and advice during the writing process.

Finally, I would like to thank my fiancée Laurence for her understanding, patience, and support.
