| Introduction: |
|
The microwave
is a term used to identify a
portion of electromagnetic waves
in frequency spectrum ranging
from 1 GHz to 300 GHz. Microwave
finds its application in the
field of Radio astronomy, Remote
sensing, Long- distance communication,
Space systems, Radar systems,
Medical equipments and Missile
electronic systems. Applications
of microwave other than in the
field of communications are
enormous and continue to grow.
The field of microwave has come
to a stage of rapid growth because
of the demand to enter into
the high frequency regime along
with other supporting technologies
such as computers and integrated
circuitry, MMIC etc and software
providing the facility to overcome
the many old design difficulties.
As a result
of accelerating rate of growth
of microwave technology in research
and industries, students who
are preparing themselves for
and the electronic engineers
who are working in, the microwave
area are faced with the need
to understand the theoretical
and experimental design and
analysis of microwave devices
circuits and systems. The lack
of which creates problem for
aspiring students to get an
opportunity to work in the challenging
field of microwave.
To fill the
gap in the knowledge base in
microwave, the ICRS has adequate
facilities to provide the required
knowledge to the aspirants.
Using these facilities of ICRS
the participant will be able
to improve and enhance their
knowledge base. This will be
possible as they will handle
and operate microwave instruments
operating from 1.6GHz to 40GHz.
The training will be imparted
by the experts who will share
their actual experience in the
field of microwave.

| Objectives: |
|
Microwave
is a fascinating subject which
is useful in Radio astronomy,
Remote sensing, Long- distance
communication, Space programme,
Radar systems, Medical equipments
and for other applications.
But now a day the glory of the
microwave is lessening due to
lack of basic understanding
of the subject.
The core objective of the short
term course “Fundamentals
of Microwave” is to train
the manpower and create expertise
and provide supplement to the
existing knowledge in the field
of microwave especially for
the faculty of the technical
institutes. The basics and fundamental
knowledge will help teachers
to train and teach the students,
which will be helpful to students
to get the opportunity of working
in DRDO, ISRO and others.
