This book only requires an introductory level of understanding in
mathematics. It does not aim to suffice in and of itself, but rather to convince
the reader of the wealth of this domain and its future, to provide good
building blocks that will lead to fruition elsewhere. Manufacturers’ concise
application notes also seem vital for any researcher/engineer.
Technological innovation plays a very important role in the ICT domain.
It therefore seems necessary for training courses now to provide welladapted and innovative content in teaching and associated tools, while still mastering, as well as possible, the fundamental nature of teaching, which is the only guarantee of a solid and lasting education.
This book is aimed at professional diploma students and engineering and
masters students. However, it could also perhaps be aimed at researchers in
related domains, such as that of hardware, with, for example, phase-locked
loops and their central components: voltage-controlled oscillators, and the
famous associated phase noise. Of course, there is an entire domain linked
to what is known as firmware, which must be taught, but there are
also mathematical tools already in use, for relativity for example, or
cryptography, indeed, older forms of coding must be revisited, such as that
of Claude Shannon.
