He then proposed new technologies that may enable paramps to achieve wide bandwidth, high efficiency power amplification: gallium nitride (GaN), and multiferroics. If successful, this combination could displace the few remaining niches where vacuum tubes have maintained dominance over high power transistor technology. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAn associate professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech since 2000, Dr. Kenney specializes in electronic design and applications. \u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"ECE Associate Professor Steve Kenney received the Best Conference Paper Award at the 11th Annual IEEE Wireless and Microwave Technology Conference, which was held April 12-13 in Melbourne, Fla.","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Steve Kenney received an IEEE Best Conference Paper Award."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2010-05-10 00:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:06:15","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2010-05-10T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2010-05-10T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"56967":{"id":"56967","type":"image","title":"photo of Steve Kenney","body":null,"created":"1449175653","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 20:47:33","changed":"1475894501","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:41:41","alt":"photo of Steve Kenney","file":{"fid":"190492","name":"tuj27774.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tuj27774_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/tuj27774_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":33155,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/tuj27774_0.jpg?itok=ZLTn-SnG"}}},"media_ids":["56967"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"http:\/\/ieee.org\/","title":"IEEE"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/faculty-staff\/fac_profiles\/bio.php?id=57","title":"Steve Kenney"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"},{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"144","name":"Energy"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"}],"keywords":[{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"9588","name":"IEEE Wireless and Microwave Technology Conference"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"id":"170981","name":"Steve Kenney"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003EJackie  Nemeth\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EContact Jackie  Nemeth\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
