2021 John Kraus Antenna Award
of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society
The IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society recognized Professor Chen Zhi Ning from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the National University of Singapore, with the 2021 John Kraus Antenna Award with the citation of "For outstanding contributions to translational research of electromagnetic metamaterials for antenna engineering.".
The award was established in 2004 by John D. Kraus, a renowned specialist in electromagnetics, antennas and radio astronomy through the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society. The award is granted to those whose research contributes to significant advances in antenna technology. It is globally recognized as the highest award in the antenna field.
Prof. Chen and his teams from Institute for Infocomm Research, AStar and National University of Singapore have pioneered in and significantly contributed to the research, development, and commercialization (R&D&C) of electromagnetic metamaterials. The antennas they developed have been widely adopted by telecommunicate giant companies for 3G/4G/5G, vehicular radar, satellites, and WLAN systems. They have received multiple Prestigious Engineering Awards. Besides industrial designs, the teams have also published more than 80 papers in IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation. Prof. Chen has delivered more than 160 invited and keynote speeches at international academic and industrial events in the past 12 years.

2020 John Kraus Antenna Award
of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society
Singapore, July 9, 2020 - The IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society recognized Zhang Yueping, a professor in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Nanyang Technological University, with the 2020 John Kraus Antenna Award. The award is granted to those whose research contributes to significant advances in antenna technology. It is globally recognized as the highest award in the antenna field.
The award was established in 2004 by John D. Kraus, a renowned specialist in electromagnetics, antennas and radio astronomy through the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society.
The award was bestowed to Prof Zhang this year for his pioneering and significant contributions to the development of antenna-in-package (AiP) technology. AiP technology has been widely adopted by chipmakers and emerged as the antenna technology for millimetre-wave 5G and beyond. AiP technology has created a new industry sector and become a market hot spot.
In 2012, Prof Zhang also won the prestigious S. A. Schelkunoff Transactions Prize Paper Award from the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society. He is the only antenna researcher outside the US who has received both John Kraus Antenna Award and the Schelkunoff Transactions Prize Paper Award. In the world, only three people have had both awards so far.

2012 S. A. Schelkunoff Prize
of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society
The Chapter members Prof. Yue Ping Zhang, Dr. Mei Sun, and Prof. Yilong Lu won the 2012 S. A. Schelkunoff Prize of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society for the paper entitled "Dual Grid Array Antennas in a Thin-Profile Package for Flip-Chip Interconnection to Highly Integrated 60-GHz Radios" published in the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, vol. 59, no. 4, pp. 1191-1199, April 2011.
The S. A. Schelkunoff Prize can be traced back to 1957 and is one of the most prestigious awards for radio scientists. This is the first time that the prize has been awarded to scientists outside USA and Europe.
