Digital Predistortion of Power Amplifiers for WirelessApplications

For my family. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is time to draw a period to my PhD endeavor. I feel extremely lucky to meet so many talented people during these years. I am grateful for their friendship, help, encouragement, and support. First, I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. G. Tong Zhou, for providing this opportunity for me to study at Georgia Tech. Her constant encouragement and valuable advices are essential for the completion of this thesis. I will be always inspired by the high standards she sets for herself and her sharp focus and deep devotion to whatever she works on.
