RECENT ADVANCES in MICROWAVE INTEGRATED CIRCUITS-AICTE sponsored Faculty Development Programme- NIT-Trichy-July 13th 17th.

Electronics and Communication Engineering department has planned a week long workshop for the Engineering college Professes handling Microwave courses and for the researchers carrying out core during July 13 to 17th in NIT-T. The radio frequency course sponsored by AICTE, Delhi aims to bring awareness in the topics computational methods, numerical techniques, fabrication methodology, BioMEMS, smart antenna, wimax, wifi, Microwave fundamentals, carbon nano tube, metameterials, biological effect of microwaves, recent research in coplanar waveguides unconventional and special antennas.

The notable topics "biological effect of microwaves" and "Microwaves in Medicine" 'are going to be handled with demonstration by Dr.Sankaranarayanan (STEM cell expert and DENTIST), DR.S.Sendhil vel murugan, Radiologist, K.A.P.V.Medical college and Hospital (TELERADIOLOGY) and Dr.Lashminarayanan(Laparoscopic Surgeon and Virtual lab expert).

Prof.Alphonse Arokiasamy, the Professor , Nnayong Technical University
(NTU) Singapore and the reviewer 'Antenna and Propagation 'journal will be handling 'Metameterials' The pioneer in antenna research and the top scientist Engineer DR.P.H.Rao of SAMEER (Society for Applied Microwave Engineering and Educational Research), Chennai is going to present "research topics of unconventional antenna and Design methodology".

Prof.S.Raghavan, Microwave engineering in charge, NIT-T, Prof.Sriramkumar will be talking on BioMEMS and SMART ANTENNA respectively. Cell phone possessing in wrong places (shirt pocket and Belt pouches) is highly harmful especially to men. The same will be explained by Dr.S.Raghavan and also by Prof.Shyam Sundar Pattnaik, Professor and Head, NITTTR, Chandigarh Dr.P.Mohanan and Dr.S.Mirudula of Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT), cochin will be highlighting 'Numerical techniques for Microwave Integrated Circuits' and "Fundamental concepts of Microwave Engineering" respectively. S.P.Chakraborty of IIT-Delhi will be explaining the M.I.C.fabrication techniques with the relevant gadgets and chemicals. Scientist Engineer of ISRO, Bangalore Sc.Er.V.Mahadevan has planned to show the LAUNCHING methods and ground support methodology.

The recent research in Microwave Integrated Circuits will be explained withy the journal papers by the research scholars and M.S. (by research scholars. Shri.Shanmughanantham, Thiruvalar selevan, Jagajothi, Srijith, Vidyalakshmi Ravi.)

The workshop to be organized for the first time in south India are supported and encouraged by the Director M.Chidambaram and the H.O.D. Dr.B.Venkataramani.

Present day communication technology would not have come to this level but for Microwave Integrated Circuits and the aim of the workshop is to bring AWARENESS among the faculty members and also to remove theatrical AVERSION CREATED in the minds about this subject of Electromagnetic theory.

LAST DATE for applying is July 10th. The details of the workshop can be found in the institute website (www.nitt.edu). It is open for the AICTE approved ENGINEERING COLLEGE FACULTY MEMBERS handling MICROWAVE engineering.

Dr. S. Raghavan of NITT has been a contributor to Microwaves101, with regard to finline. He also holds the distinctions of being the final Ph.D. scholar of Prof. B. Bhat and being a Senior Professor at NITT. Here is his contact information and qualifications. His interests include microwave integrated circuits, biological effects of microwaves, computer aided design, and meta materials. He is a Fellow or Senior Member of 18 technical societies.

Here is an article of Microwave Engineering Made Easy, which describes the NITT educational experience.

Here are some presentations in pdf format by NITT students on microwave topics for you to download:

Reconfigurable scan-beam single-arm spiral antenna integrated with RF MEMS switches by B.Sravanthi (M.Tech)

RFMEMS Filter by Durai Praveen and Gautham Muthukumar (B.Tech)

And more are coming, thanks!

Here is a description of a project that NITT performed for a Smith Chart tool, just one example of what students at NITT ECE are doing. Much of the credit goes to Mr. Arpit Raj, Who is in his final year Electronics and Communication Engineering (in 2010). He is a web team member of the college and contributed to the Microwave Engineering Made Easy article as well.
