2023 IEEE-HKN Best Paper Award
The IEEE-HKN Best Student Paper Award is presented
annually at the IEEE Region 3 Technical, Professional,
and Student Conference, " SoutheastCon " . The 2023
conference was held in Orlando, Florida, with the theme
" Engineering the Magic! " .
The primary and presenting author
must be a student. Of the eight
papers submitted, four finalists
were selected. Each author
presented their paper to a panel
of four judges.

Marc Jean: A 30 GHz Steerable Patch Array Antenna
for Software-Defined Radio Platforms
Marc Jean of the University of Central Florida was the
winner. He received a $500 check from IEEE-HKN.
The IEEE-Eta Kappa Nu Best Student Paper Award
was established by a generous donation by Dr. Hulya
Kirkici and the IEEE Power Modulator Conference.
A 30 GHz Steerable Patch Array Antenna for
Software-Defined Radio Platforms
Abstract-We present the design and simulation of
a beamsteering patch antenna array that operates at
30 GHz. The antenna design includes feeding lines
needed for connection to a software-defined radio
(SDR) platform. Phase differences on the feeding
lines are minimal, and the impact of the feeding
network on the gain is negligible at the operational
frequency. Each patch element of the antenna
has an associated 5-bit phase shifter, allowing fine
granularity beam-forming capability out of the array.
The simulation results show that the antenna attains
very similar gain patterns to ideal ones.
