About the Authors
Jean-Michel Friedt was trained as a physicist at École Normale Supérieure in Lyon (France). He completed his PhD on scanning probe microscopy in 2000 before joining IMEC (Leuven, Belgium) as a postdoctoral researcher working on surface acoustic wave (SAW)-based biosensors. He joined the company SENSeOR in 2006 as a systems engineer, developing short-range RADAR systems for probing SAW resonators acting as wireless passive cooperative targets with sensing capability. Before becoming associate professor at Franche-Comté University in Besançon (France) in 2014 with his research activities hosted by the Time & Frequency department of the FEMTO-ST Institute, he became intrigued by the field at the intersection of computer science, radio frequency, and digital signal processing with access to the physical properties of the electromagnetic waves, namely software-defined radio (SDR), and its opensource implementation GNU Radio. Visiting the radio-silent research station of Ny-Ålesund (Norway, see cover) had the most profound impact on his personal and research and development activities, from satellite communication to remote sensing during field trips since 2007. He has been a regular contributor to the French GNU/Linux Magazine/France and related journals since 2005 whose publications motivated most of this research, with an emphasis to present results toward the general public and curious readers willing to reproduce experiments with affordable and readily available ...
