Laurent Leyssenne received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Bordeaux, France in 2009. His main field of research is the design of RF power amplifiers. Eric Kerherve received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Bordeaux, France in 1994. He joined ENSEIRB and the IMS Laboratory in 1996, where he is currently a Professor in Microelectronics and Microwave applications. He has authored or co-authored more than 190 technical papers, and was awarded 17 patents. Yann Deval received the Ph.D. degree from the University of Bordeaux, France, in 1994. He joined the University of Bordeaux in 1994 as an Assistant Professor, and became a Full Professor at ENSEIRB, in 2004. From 1994 to 2006, he pursued his research in the domain of analog and radiofrequency integrated circuits at IMS Microelectronics laboratory. Since 2007, he is in charge of the IC Design Group at IMS. He has published more than 90 papers in international journals and conference proceedings.

"This monograph describes a very substantial work that deals with the theoretical analysis, the simulation, the realization and the measurement of high efficiency power amplifiers for mobile terminals... The described works are of high scientific level and are compared to state-of-the art" Andreas Kaiser, CNRS Research Director at IEMN, Lille, France. "The content of this work is rich from the stand-point of theory and experiment. The obtained results demonstrate the necessity to take into account a great deal of phenomenons, such as quantization noise in switched PA architectures, thermal effects,and the accurate modelling of active devices in order to reach a high performance level", Patrice Gamand, RF Innovation Center General Manager at NXP Semiconductors, Caen, France.
