DARMSTADT, GERMANY – Researchers from three continents were among this year's winners of the Computer Simulation Technology University Publication Award.

The annual event recognizes academics and researchers for published papers related to electromagnetic simulation applications.

CST grants winners of the award extensions and upgrades to their CST Studio Suite installations.

Papers under consideration for the award must meet three conditions: they must be authored or co-authored by university researchers, they must have been published either in scientific journals or conference proceedings, and the numerical results must be entirely or partly obtained through simulations using CST software.

Submissions are evaluated on a number of criteria, including originality of application and theory, clarity of presentation, and the skillful use of CST software. A special award is also given for short papers, of four pages or less, to acknowledge the importance of short conference papers in promoting practical applications of simulation.

This year's winners include:

• Fang-Yao Kuo, and Ruey-Bing Hwang of National Chiao-Tung University, Taiwan, for "High-Isolation X-band Marine Radar Antenna Design,” published in IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, vol. 62, no. 5, May 2014.
• C. S. Hopper and J. R. Delayen of Old Dominion University and Thomas Jefferson National Lab (US), for "Superconducting Spoke Cavities for High-Velocity Applications," published in Physical Review Special Topics - Accelerators and Beams, vol. 16, no. 10, Oct. 3, 2013.
• Domenico Gaetano, Patrick McEvoy, Max J. Ammann, Jacinta E. Browne, Louise Keating, and Frances Horgan of Dublin Institute of Technology (Ireland), for "Footwear Antennas for Body Area Telemetry,” published in IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, vol. 61, no. 10, October 2013.
• Anil Kamma, Swapnil R. Gupta, Gopi S. Reddy and Jayanta Mukherjee of IIT (Bombay, India), for "Multi-Band Notch UWB Band Pass Filter With Novel Contiguous Split Rings Embedded  in Symmetrically Tapered Elliptic Rings,” published in Progress In Electromagnetics Research C.  

CST awarded its Short Paper Award to Hongzhao Ray Fang, Mohammed Serhir, Ramanan Balakrishnan, Régis Guinvarc’h, Koen Mouthaan of the National University of Singapore and SUPELEC (France) for "Low Profile Cavity-Backed Four-Arm Archimedean Spiral Antenna with 8:1 Bandwidth.”

"Universities are exploring new and exciting fields of electromagnetic research. The award helps us to discover the vast variety of important and sometimes surprising ways the software is being applied in today’s fast changing world,” said Dr. Martin Timm, CST director of global marketing. “Thank you to everyone who submitted a paper to this year’s award.”
