The award for UCC ICT Invention of the Year was presented to Professor Peter Kennedy, academic sponsor of MCCI, for a High Performance Frequency Synthesizer Modulator. This invention is a disruptive technology that will change the way the frequency synthesizers, which provide wireless communication signals, will operate in the future. This invention has already attracted the interest of leading global players in the industry. The technology has now been licensed by MCCI Member Analog Devices, and is currently being prototyped in their design centre in Limerick.
