Microwave Education

by Hands-on Professional

Microwaves play a very significant role in our daily lives, be it mobile telephone and DTH digital TV keeping us connected to the world, the microwave oven serving hot food and coffee in a jiffy, the radar at the airport ensuring a safe air-travel, mm-wave radar for collision avoidance in premium automobiles and microwave/ X-ray hyperthermia in the hospitals if someone falls seriously sick. The present-day computers also work at microwave frequencies and the 5G is going to deploy mm-waves.

It is therefore very essential for engineers to understand the theory and technology of microwaves and mm-waves. However, the engineering students often abhor from this subject as it involves complex mathematics. The advent of 3-D electromagnetic simulation tools has made it possible to understand and grasp the subject of microwave engineering without getting deeply into the rigours of mathematical derivations for those, who wish to avoid it.

Lectures

Dr Lalit Kumar had a long career in R&D on microwave tubes and wishes to share his insights on the subject to the young students. He has developed a series of introductory and overview lectures related to the topics of Electromagnetic/ microwave curriculum at undergraduate level and beyond. These lectures convey the concepts using graphical presentations and simulations and cover their practical applications. The lectures provide the students a perspective on the big-picture to inculcate their interest in these topics

The lectures can be delivered at your institution Live in on-line mode arranged by the host.
