Abstract :
The Administrative Committee of the IEEE Group on Sonics and Ultrasonics takes great pleasure in announcing the selection of the Best Paper published in the 1973 IEEE Transactions on Sonics and Ultrasonics Best Paper Award of the G-SU for 1973 is awarded to F.G. Marshall, C.O. Newton and E.G.S. Paige, authors of the two companion papers "Theory and Design of the Surface Acoustic Wave Multistrip Coupler" and "Surface Acoustic Wave Multistrip Components and Their Applications." These papers were published in the April 1973 issue. The selection was made ont he basis of the depth of coverage of a new and extremely useful contribution to the field of surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology. The authors of the Best Paper received a cash prize and a plaque to commemorate their achievement. These were presented at the 1974 Ultrasonics Symposium, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA.
