`particular in receivers.
` Q. Do you consider yourself an expert
`in the structure and operation of LTE wireless
`systems?
` A. That's very vague.
` Q. And why is that vague?
` A. "Systems" is a very vague word.
` Q. Do you consider yourself an expert
`in the structure and operation of LTE wireless
`communications?
` A. I don't understand the question.
` Q. You said you were familiar with
`hardware, in particular receivers, in LTE
`systems. Is that right?
` A. I am familiar with the hardware and,
`in particular, receivers for wireless
`communications such as LTE, that's right.
` Q. Do you consider yourself an expert
`in the hardware and, in particular, receivers

` A. As I sit here today, that sounds --
`that hardware and -- hardware and, in
`particular, receivers for wireless
`communications I think is an accurate
`description of my expertise, my relevant
`expertise at least for the '356 Patent. I'd
`have to think more about whether there are
`other areas that are relevant to LTE where I
`have expertise.
` Q. Are you familiar with carrier
`aggregation in LTE?
` MR. FERNANDEZ: Object to form.
` A. I am familiar with carrier
`aggregation.
` Q. Do you consider yourself an expert
`in carrier aggregation with respect to LTE
`wireless communications?
` A. Yes. I consider myself an expert
`with respect to carrier aggregation.
` Q. Do you have any research experience
`directed to carrier aggregation?
` MR. FERNANDEZ: Objection. Form.

`experience and publications in devices and
`circuits devoted to receivers and applicable to
`receivers in wireless communication systems.
`While my -- carrier aggregation has not been a
`focus of any particular paper, the devices and
`other research that I have done is applicable
`to carrier-aggregated systems.
` Q. Do you have any teaching experience
`directed to carrier aggregation?
` MR. FERNANDEZ: Objection to form.
` A. I teach two circuit design courses
`that, while we don't explicitly cover carrier
`aggregation, we do cover at the undergraduate
`level circuit design techniques for designing
`low-noise amplifiers that would be perfectly
`suitable for carrier-aggregated systems.
` Q. Have you authored any publications
`that explicitly reference carrier aggregation?
` A. I would have to review them.
`Sitting here today, I'm not certain if any of
`them include that or not.
` Q. Prior to being retained to offer
`opinions relating to the '356 Patent, had you
`heard the term "carrier aggregation"?

`Figure 6A of the '356 Patent. Let me know when
`you're there.
` A. Yes, I'm there.
` Q. Figure 6A shows a number of things.
`But one of the things it shows is two amplifier
`stages identified as 650a and 650b, correct?
` A. Yes, the patent identifies 650a and
`650b as amplifier stages.
` Q. And in particular on the figure,
`650a is identified as Amplifier Stage 1 and
`650b is identified as Amplifier Stage 2,
`correct?
` A. I don't recall them making those
`labels. I don't recall them being labeled as
`Stage 1 and Stage 2.
` Q. If you look at Figure 6A, do you
`agree with me that --

`650a and Amplifier Stage 2 as 650b?

`1 in the Figure 6A is identified as 650a, and
`650b is identified as Amplifier Stage 2.

` Q. And Amplifier Stage 650a amplifies

`signal -- a first output RF signal, I'm sorry,
`to a Load Circuit 690a, correct?
` A. Not in all cases, no.
` Q. In what cases does it provide an
`output signal to Load Circuit 690a?
` A. I'm sorry. I didn't catch your
`question exactly. Could you rephrase it or
`repeat it for me?
` Q. You had responded "Not in all
`cases." And my question was: In what cases
`does Amplifier Stage 650a provide a first
`output RF signal to Load Circuit 690a?
` A. The Amplifier Stage 650a provides an
`output signal to Load Circuit 690a when an RF
`input signal is provided and when the amplifier
`stage is enabled.
` Q. And with respect to Amplifier
`Stage 2, when it's enabled and when an RF input
`signal is provided, it provides an output
`signal -- an output RF signal to load circuit
`690b, correct?

` Talking about Amplifier Stage 2.
`And Amplifier Stage 2 amplifies an RF input
`signal and provides an output RF signal to load
`circuit 690b when it's enabled, correct?
` A. Amplifier -- Amplifier Stage 2
`provides an output signal to Load Circuit 690b
`in response to the RF input signal when
`Amplifier Stage 2 605b is enabled.
` Q. According to the patent -- and I'm
`looking at column 8, row 12. According to the
`patent, Amplifier Stage 650a may be
`independently enable or disabled via switch
`658a. Correct?
` A. Could you repeat your question for
`me, please?
` Q. According to the patent, Amplifier
`Stage 650a may be independently enabled or
`disabled via switch 658a?
` A. In the particular embodiment shown
`in Figure 6A, they show switch 658a configuring
`the enablement or disablement of Amplifier

`Stage 650a.
` Q. And more specifically, the patent
`says that that switch may be used to
`independently enable or disable Amplifier
`Stage 650a?
` A. Yes, that switch may independently
`enable or disable that Amplifier Stage 650a.
` Q. And switch 658b may be used to
`independently enable or disable Amplifier
`Stage 650b?
` A. Was there a question?
` Q. Yes.
` And do you agree that switch 658b
`may be used to independently enable or disable
`amplifier stage 650b?
` A. The patent says it a little bit
`differently. But my interpretation is that
`switch 658b may be used to independently enable
`or disable Amplifier Stage 658b.
` Q. Amplifier Stage 650b, correct?

`stage.

`is in column 20, and I'm looking at the first
`limitation that starts at Line 44, and it
`recites, and I'm going to read just a part of
`that first limitation it recites -- claim 1 of
`the '356 patent recites: A first amplifier
`stage configured to be independently enabled or
`disabled, comma, the first amplifier stage
`further configured to receive and amplify an
`input radio frequency, paren, RF, close paren,
`signal and provide a first output RF signal to
`a first load circuit when the first amplifier

`of that limitation correctly.
