His paper titled "Width-Constrained Multilayer SIW Components Based on Adjoined Folded SIW Transitions" was awarded. The publication deals with multilayer passive RF-components in substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology, which are designed to meet the requirements of systems with high integration density, such as phased antenna arrays for satellite communication. Thomas Jaschke, Anton Sieganschin, Arne F. Jacob and Alexander Kölpin were involved as co-authors.
