Professor Rebeiz was awarded the prestigious Microwave Prize that recognizes the most significant contribution by a paper in the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques for his work on 5G phased-arrays.

His recent award marks the third time that Rebeiz and his group has won this award, having received it before in 2000 for his work on RF MEMS and in 2014 for his work on RFICs with built-in-self-test capabilities. Rebeiz is the first person to have won the Microwave Prize three times.
