`

`
`
`I, David Lyon, declare as follows:
`
`
`1.
`
`I have been asked by Defendant Sirius XM Radio Inc. (“Sirius XM”)
`
`to submit this Declaration in support of Petitioner, Sirius XM Radio Inc. (“Sirius
`
`XM”), to provide information and opinions, as set forth in this Declaration, to
`
`assist the Board in the determination of whether or not the Board should invalidate
`
`one or more claims of Fraunhofer-Gesellschft zur Förderung der angewandten
`
`Forschung e.V.’s (“Fraunhofer” or “Patent Owner”) U.S. Patent No. 6,314,289
`
`(Ex. 1001, the “‘289 Patent”). Specifically, counsel for Sirius XM asked me to
`
`provide opinions regarding background technology of the ‘289 Patent and
`
`(in)validity, novelty, prior art, obviousness considerations, and the understanding
`
`of a person of ordinary skill in the art (“POSA”) in the industry as it relates to the
`
`‘289 Patent.
`
`
`2.
`
`I have personal knowledge of the facts and opinions set forth in this
`
`Declaration, and, if called upon to do so, I am prepared to testify competently
`
`thereto.
`
`I. Background and Experience
`
`3.
`I hold three degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts
`
`Institute of Technology (“MIT”): a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science,
`
`both earned in June of 1970, and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) earned in
`
`September of 1972.
`
`
`
`Petitioner Sirius XM Radio Inc. - Ex. 1002, p. 13
`
`

`

`
`
`
`4.
`
`At MIT, I was awarded a Hertz Foundation fellowship based on merit.
`
`In 1974, while employed full time in industry, I accepted an invitation from MIT’s
`
`Department of Electrical Engineering to teach a graduate level course in
`
`mathematical communication theory. My original notes and exercises on practical
`
`methods in digital telecommunications were used by subsequent teachers of that
`
`subject at MIT.
`
`
`5.
`
`From 1972 through 1981, I worked in dual roles as both Director of
`
`Research and Development and Director of Product Management for Intertel, Inc.,
`
`a pioneering company in the field of telephone line communications, which was
`
`headquartered in Massachusetts. The Intertel products based on my design work
`
`set new worldwide benchmarks in the field, including the first adaptively-equalized
`
`telephone line modems capable of operating on unconditioned leased telephone
`
`lines as well as real-time network control systems capable of monitoring and
`
`correcting faults in complex interactive data networks.

`
`After my work at Intertel, Inc., I managed all product engineering and
`
`research and development activities as Director of Engineering in 1981-82, for
`
`Novation, Inc., a southern California company that produced some of the first
`
`telephone line modems for personal computers. Our customers during that period
`
`included both Apple Computer and IBM’s PC Division, which purchased from
`
`Novation internally integrated modems.

`
`Starting in 1982, with my appointment as a Director of Engineering at
`
`Linkabit, a wholly owned division of M/A-Com, Inc., located in San Diego,
`
`California, I became intensely focused on radio-linked (also called “wireless” or
`
`“RF” for radio frequency) digital communications. From 1982 to 1987, the groups
`
`that I led designed and introduced to the industry the first full-duplex, satellite-
`
`based, digital communication systems capable of fully replacing alternative land-
`
`based transmission media. Since we were inventing a new type of wide area
`
`networking system we had to reimagine and create an entire protocol stack along
`
`with the related hardware technologies. At the physical, media access control
`
`(MAC), and transport layers of the stack we successfully innovated the routing,
`
`addressing, security, multiplexing, and media conversion and compression
`
`techniques that were required. Our first customer for these systems, which were
`
`comprised of so-called “Very Small Aperture Satellite Systems (“VSATs”), was
`
`the world market leader in oil exploration services, Schlumberger Limited. Later,
`
`with further refinements that we made to the networking technologies and the
`
`deliverable products, we captured many Fortune 100 companies as customers,
`
`including Wal-Mart, Exxon, and Southland Corporation (7-Eleven Stores).
`
`

`
`In 1987, along with four co-founders, I started Pacific Communication
`
`Sciences, Inc. (“PCSI”). I served as the CEO from our inception until 1996 and
`
`stayed very active in both technical and product management. During that period,
`
`

`
`

`

`
`
`PCSI became well known for its innovative and pioneering work in digital
`
`telecommunications. In 1993, we merged with a public company, Cirrus Logic
`
`Incorporated, and continued to operate PCSI as a wholly owned subsidiary of
`
`Cirrus Logic.
`
` While at PCSI we were retained and funded by McCaw Cellular
`9.
`
`Communications, Inc. to help create the world’s first operational digital packet
`
`data system to operate over cellular communication channels. This system was
`
`named Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD), and PCSI became a leading provider
`
`of the base station equipment used by cellular carriers to provide CDPD data
`
`services to their subscribers. Two of our customers were AT&T Wireless (which
`
`had acquired McCaw Cellular in 1994) and Bell Atlantic Mobile Network (later
`
`merged into Verizon Wireless in 2004).
`
` PCSI also was retained by DDI Corporation and Kyocera, both of
`10.
`
`Japan, to help create their innovative Personal Handyphone Service (PHS) in
`
`Japan, a micro-cellular personal communication system. Starting in 1991, PCSI
`
`devised and perfected the system design and subsystem specifications for this
`
`mobile system, and later became a leading supplier of chipsets for PHS handsets
`
`and software for DDI’s base stations. Starting in 1995, we shipped millions of
`
`handset chipsets and supplied software to tens of thousands of PHS base stations.
`
` During the period 1987 to 1990, PCSI collaborated with Inmarsat and

`
`
`Honeywell Aerospace as we developed designs for digital mobile satellite
`
`terminals. The result of the work with Inmarsat led to the reference design for the
`
`Standard M mobile satellite system. The work for Honeywell led to our developing
`
`and manufacturing an RF modem which enabled digital satellite communications
`
`for high speed aircraft.

`
`In 1996, I began my consulting company, Sage Strategies, which I
`
`continue to operate today. My assignments have included both technical and
`
`management work. From 1998 to 2008, I served first as CEO of Silicon Wave, and
`
`then subsequently as a Vice President of RF MicroDevices (“RFMD”), which
`
`acquired Silicon Wave in 2004.
`
`13.
`
` Silicon Wave was a pioneer in short range radio linked data
`
`communications. The company became a leader in the development of the
`
`Bluetooth standards and conforming products. Additionally, in the 1999-2004 time
`
`period Silicon Wave developed designs for IEEE 802.11a (WLAN in the 5GHz
`
`unlicensed RF band) compliant transceivers and also partnered with Intel
`
`Corporation on the design of systems supporting simultaneous operation of
`
`Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in the 2.4 GHz unlicensed RF band.
`
` RFMD (now called Qorvo after its merger with Tri-Quint
`14.
`
`Semiconductor in January of 2015) was an industry leader in the supply of radio
`
`frequency components for cellular subscriber devices and base stations. My work

`
`

`

`
`
`at RFMD included technical and marketing management of business units engaged
`
`in various RF related products including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS solutions.
`
` My other work from 1996 to the present has been focused largely on
`15.
`
`broadband communication technologies with emphasis on wireless and cable based
`
`systems. Such systems have included different types of digital cellular networks
`
`and devices, as well as short range systems including Bluetooth, WLAN, and near
`
`field communication (“NFC”). For example, from 2003 to 2012, I served as a
`
`consulting advisor for Amimon, Inc., an Israeli company that invented and
`
`commercialized a proprietary 5GHz WLAN technology for HD video
`
`transmission, which utilized MIMO (multiple input multiple output) and OFDM
`
`(orthogonal frequency division multiplex) techniques. In addition, from 2008 to
`
`2010 I served as the CEO of Ozmo Devices, Inc., a company which pioneered the
`
`WLAN technology now bra
