Recipients: N. Scott Barker and Gabriel M. Rebeiz
Citation: for a significant contribution to the field of endeavor of
the IEEE MTT Society in the paper entitled
“Distributed MEMS True-Time Delay Phase Shifters and Wide-Band Switches,”
IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, MTT-46,
pp. 1881-1890 (1998)
N. Scott
Barker (S'95-M'99) received the B.S.E.E. with high distinction
from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, in 1994, and the M.S.E.E. and Ph.D.
degrees from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1996 and 1999 respectively.
The title of his PhD dissertation is "Distributed
MEMS Transmission Lines.”
Following the completion of his doctorate, he joined the Naval Research Laboratory as a member of the technical staff, where he is continuing research in the area of RF MEMS as applied to microwave and millimeter-wave circuits.
Dr. Barker is a member of Eta Kappa Nu, and received the Outstanding Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) graduate student award in 1998. He also received Best Student Paper Awards at the 1999 IEEE International Microwave Symposium, Anaheim, CA, and the 1997 IEEE International Microwave Symposium, Denver, CO.

Gabriel M.
Rebeiz earned his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the California
Institute of Technology, Pasadena, in 1988.
He joined the faculty of the University of Michigan in September 1988 and was promoted to Full Professor in 1998. He has held short visiting professorships at Chalmers Univ. of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden, Ecole Normale Superieur, Paris, France, and Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan. His research interests include applying micromachining techniques and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) for the development of novel components and sub-systems for radars and wireless systems. He is also interested in Si/GaAs RFIC design for receiver applications, and in the development of planar antennas and microwave/millimeter-wave front-end electronics for communication systems, automotive collision-avoidance sensors, monopulse tracking systems and phased arrays.
Prof. Rebeiz was the recipient of the National Science Foundation Presidential Young Investigator Award in April 1991 and the URSI International Isaac Koga Gold Medal Award for Outstanding International Research in August 1993. He also received the Research Excellence Award in April 1995 from the University of Michigan. Together with his students, he is the winner of best student paper awards at IEEE-MTT (99-94,92), and IEEE-AP (95, 92) and received the JINA'90 best paper award. Prof. Rebeiz received the University of Michigan EECS Department Teaching Award in October 1997, and was selected by the students as the 1997-1998 Eta Kappa Nu EECS Professor of the Year. In June 1998, he received the College of Engineering Teaching Award. In October 1998, he received the Amoco Foundation Teaching Award, given yearly to one faculty at the University of Michigan, for excellence in undergraduate teaching.
