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 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.

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.

Professor Hao is credited with coining the term "body-centric wireless communications," which refers to networking between wearable and implantable wireless sensors on the human body. His pioneering work in this area began in 2003, focusing on characterizing and understanding the human body as a communication medium.

He demonstrated that radio propagation on the human body's surface is subject to significant path loss and time variations (dispersion), requiring the use of surface and creeping waves for reliable communication between body sensors. Professor Hao further developed the theory for modeling these waves and designed antennas specifically for on-body communications.

In addition to his research on body-centric channels, Professor Hao has spent the past two decades leading the study of on-body antennas at frequencies ranging from 10 MHz to 100 GHz. This research has resulted in the development of low-profile antennas that can reliably achieve on-body communications, including those operating at 60GHz and 94GHz for defense and healthcare applications.

Professor Hao's expertise also extends to the field of metamaterials, where he has developed new computational tools for modeling and investigating the properties of these materials. This research has led to the design of innovative antennas, including 3D printed lens antennas for millimeter wave communications.

The impact of Professor Hao's work is far-reaching. His research has not only led to the development of new antenna technologies but has also fostered significant industrial development and commercialization. Companies such as Philips, GE Healthcare, and Isotropic Systems have all benefited from Professor Hao's pioneering research.

Quote from Professor Hao: "I am honoured to receive the IEEE John Kraus Antenna Award. My research has benefited from the dedication of my students and collaborators, and I am grateful for their contributions. I am also excited about the future potential of body-centric wireless communications and antenna innovations to improve healthcare and other fields."

The John Kraus Antenna Award is one of the highest honors in the field of antenna research. Professor Hao's receipt of this award is a testament to his exceptional achievements and his lasting impact on the development of antenna technology.

Short description of collection: The papers document the career, research, and personal life of John Daniel Kraus, Taine G. McDougal Professor of Electrical Engineering and Astronomy at Ohio State University, founder and Director of the Ohio State-Ohio Wesleyan Radio Observatory. The papers include family and professional correspondence and papers, notes and papers on antenna design, drafts of books and professional publications, awards and certificates, photographs, materials on the Kraus Wilderness Preserve, and other materials covering a period from 1895 until John Kraus' death in 2004.

John Daniel Kraus was born June 28, 1910. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1930 and his doctorate in physics in 1933, both from University of Michigan. During his time at Michigan he did millimeter and meter wavelength radio experiments and also nuclear research with the University's newly completed cyclotron.

During World War II, Kraus worked at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory degaussing electromagnetic fields of steel ships to make them safe from magnetic mines, and then at Harvard's Radio Research Laboratory developing receivers and antennas for radar counter-measures. He joined the faculty at Ohio State University in 1946 and remained there for his entire academic career. He was the Taine G. McDougal Professor of Electrical Engineering and Astronomy, and founded and directed the Ohio State-Ohio Wesleyan Radio Observatory. When a grant of $2,000 allowed him to buy steel, he and his students built one of the first radio telescopes in the United States, an array of 96 helices, completed in 1953, that operated at 250 MHz. Kraus then went on to design and build the "Big Ear" radio telescope, completed in 1965. "Big Ear" was a fixed parabolic antenna, measuring 110 by 21 meters; it received reflected rays from a tiltable flat reflector panel, and the parabolic antenna in turn focused the signal to a central point at ground level. With it, Kraus and other astronomers studied some of the most distant known objects at the edge of the universe, and produced extensive surveys of the radio sky. His many other antenna designs include the bi-directional W8JK wire beam antenna widely used by radio amateurs, the corner reflector, and the helical beam antenna, used in communication and global positioning satellites.

Following the completion of the all Sky Ohio State radio source survey and the loss of funding from the NSF, Big Ear was used for many years by Kraus and his students to search for intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe. Kraus founded Cosmic Search, a magazine devoted to the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence, also including historical articles about radio astronomy, which he edited and published from 1979-1982.

A dedicated teacher, Kraus had a profound and lasting effect on his students; he maintained friendships with many of his students after they completed their degrees, and followed their careers with interest. Books Kraus authored included Antennas, Radio Astronomy, and Electromagnetics, all of which had multiple editions and were translated into many languages, as well as the autobiographical Big Ear and Big Ear Two. Kraus retired from Ohio State in 1980, but continued to work at the observatory as Professor Emeritus into the 1990s.

Kraus was a long-time radio amateur, licensed as W8JK. Through the 1930s, Kraus maintained regular contact with two missionaries in Belgian Congo, one a doctor running a medical clinic. Their transmissions served as a means for many missionaries of the Presbyterian Church in the United States and their extended families in the U.S. to transmit both routine and emergency news in a timely way, and allowed the doctor to arrange medical consultations with specialists in Ann Arbor. Kraus contributed many articles to CQ, the radio amateurs' journal; in 1996, Dayton Hamvention honored Kraus as the recipient of its Special Achievement Award, and in 2001, CQ named Kraus to the inaugural class of its Amateur Radio Hall of Fame.
