About Chouaib

I help companies developing radio, RF, microwave, SATCOM, private 5G or O-RAN products solve their system performance issues: EVM, ACLR, BER, SEM/masks, spectral regrowth, transmitter linearity, RF/baseband integration, and automated validation.

Doctorate in Telecommunications, with over 9 years of experience in both R&D and industry, I work at the interface between RF architecture, signal processing, lab measurements, test automation, and product industrialization.

My typical interventions:

• RF/DFE Audit and Performance Diagnostics
• DPD/CFR Optimization and PA Linearization
• EVM, ACLR, BER, SEM/masks, spurious, and RF impairments analysis
• Setup of automated RF validation benches with Python/SCPI
• RU/RRH Bring-up, RF/baseband integration, CPRI/eCPRI, and O-RAN/Open Fronthaul
• Definition of KPIs, test plans, acceptance criteria, and industrialization readiness

My goal: to help your R&D teams quickly identify the causes of underperformance, secure technical choices, and accelerate product validation.

Available for short-term assignments, technical audits, R&D support, long-term assignments, hybrid or remote support depending on project needs and lab access.
