R.C.S. Freire a fait d'études supérieures (1980) et Masters (1982) en génie électronique au Brésil et une these de doctorat en génie électronique (1988) à l'INPL - Nancy. Il a été professeur des Universités Fédérales du Maranhão et Paraíba (Brésil) et professeur invité à l'ENST et l'ESISAR. Aujourd`hui il est professeur à l`Université Féderale de Campina Grande - Brésil. Il a dirigé 50 thèses de masters et 20 theses doctorat. Il a été coordonnateur des programmes de coopération entre des universités bresiliennes (PROCAD) et vice-coordinateur d`un réseaux de recherche bresilien (INCT-NAMITEC). Il a été aussi coordinateur de programmes de cooperation avec des instituitions françaises (l`ENST, l`UPMC et l`ESISAR) au niveaur de formation d`ingenieur (CAPES-BRAFITEC) et de post-graduation (CAPES-COFECUB). Ses  domaines d'intérêt incluent la métrologie, la conception de circuits intégrés, les réseaux de capteurs sans fil et l'instrumentation biomédicale.

Prof. Fernando Rangel de Sousa received the B.Eng. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Federal University of Campina Grande, in 1996 and 2000, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree from the École d'Ingénieurs TELECOM Paristech, Paris, France, in 2004. From 1996 through 2000 he worked in industry, in consumer electronics companies such as Sharp and Whirpool. In 2005 he worked at Federal University of Santa Catarina as a visiting professor.   From 2006 to 2009 he was with Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, where was the head of the Microelectronics and Embedded Systems Laboratory . Now he is with Federal University of Santa Catarina, as a member of the Integrated Circuits Laboratory.  At UFSC, Prof. Rangel is the counselor of the  IEEE student branch.  Along the years he has served as ad-hoc  consultant for federal science & technology  funding agencies such as CNPq and he has consulted for several private and public companies, providing specialized courses and technical and commercial  viability studies in the RF field. He also has served as reviewer  for several specialized conferences and journals. Currently, Prof. Rangel is member of the steering committee of the SBMICRO conference, counselor of the brazilian microelectronics society and coordinator of the cirucuit design activities in the INCT NAMITEC

Dr. Robert Sobot, received the B.Sc. degree in engineering physics from the University of Belgrade (former Yugoslavia) in 1989, and the M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, Canada, in 1996 and 2005 respectively. From 1996 to 2001 he was with PMC-Sierra Inc, Burnaby, developing CMOS mixed-signal integrated circuits for digital communications as a Team Leader. While with PMC-Sierra Inc., he was responsible for development of mixed-signal circuits such as phase-locked loops (PLL) and analog adaptive equalizers. Since 2006, he is with the University of Western Ontario, London ON, Canada  as an Assistant Professor. His current research interests include implantable analog integrated circuits, high-speed analog circuits in BiCMOS, wireless communication circuits, behavioral modeling, and software-defined radio. He holds one industrial patent and has published a number of papers.
