IEEE Browder J. Thompson Memorial Prize Paper Award

The Browder J. Thompson Memorial Prize Paper Award was established in 1945 and was presented for the most outstanding paper in any IEEE publication issued between 1 January and 31 December of the preceding year by an author or joint authors under thirty years of age at the time the original manuscript was submitted.

This prize paper was discontinued after the 1997 Award and replaced by the IEEE Leon K. Kirchmayer Prize Paper Award.
