Wheeler Prize Paper Award of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (APS). This honor is presented to the authors of the best applications paper published in the \u003Cem\u003EIEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation \u003C\/em\u003Eduring the previous year. The team will receive this award at the 2012 IEEE APS Symposium to be held July 8-13 in Chicago.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech, Dr. Papapolymerou is being recognized for his paper entitled \u0022A Lightweight Organic X-Band Active Receiving Phased Array with Integrated SiGe Amplifiers and Phase Shifters,\u0022 which was published in volume 59, number 1, pp. 100-109 of the transactions. Sponsored by NASA, the work described in this paper focuses on the development of a lightweight, low cost, conformal, and compact X-band phased array for ice\/snow measurements that are critical for weather forecasting and environmental analysis. This technology can also be used for weather radars and in a variety of wireless communication and sensor systems at other frequencies, such as high speed wireless with Gbps transmission rates.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDr. Papapolymerou\u2019s coauthors on the paper were his Ph.D. student Chad Patterson, who is co-advised by College of Engineering Dean Gary May; Ana Yepes, an M.S. graduate of Dr. Papapolymerou\u2019s group who is now working at Intel;\u0026nbsp;Swapan Bhattacharya, a former postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Papapolymerou\u2019s group who is now a senior research scientist in the School of Physics at Georgia Tech;\u0026nbsp;John Cressler, the Ken Byers Professor in ECE; Tushar Thrivikraman, a Ph.D. graduate of John Cressler\u2019s group who is now working at NASA-JPL; and Sean Begley, a research engineer in GTRI. \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJohn Papapolymerou and his colleagues have been selected for the 2012 H.A.
