Lyden received his Ph.D. from University College Cork, Ireland, in 1984. His ideas and work have blurred the distinctions between sigma-delta, successive approximation and pipelined-converter ADC architectures. He was also the lead architect for a new CT medical imaging analog front end that achieved breakthroughs in both cost and performance and has been designed into next-generation high slice CT machines.

Zvonar earned his Ph.D. from Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts, in 1993. He developed and validated a breakthrough system approach for wireless handsets, which resulted in two patents and enabled direct conversion, the process of converting analog RF signals directly to digital baseband data, to be applied successfully to the GSM wireless communications standard.
