About the Department & RF Research Group
The Department of Electrical Engineering (EE) is one of the oldest departments at IIT Kanpur. It was one of the first five departments with which IIT Kanpur started in 1960. Offering a comprehensive range of programs, including B.Tech, M.Tech, dual-degree (B.Tech + M.Tech), M.S. (R), and PhD across all Electrical Engineering specializations, the department upholds a distinguished tradition in both teaching and research, acknowledged globally. Research endeavours within the department encompass fundamental exploration, sponsored projects, and consultancy initiatives, all conducted with vibrant engagement from students, faculty, and research staff.
The RF and Microwave research group within the department is hosting a three-day symposium. This group is actively involved in addressing numerous research challenges for industries, defense, and space sectors. At present, the group is actively involved in a range of areas including Microwave Antennas, Meta-materials, Filters, RF Sensors, RF Energy Harvesting, RFID, Microwave Imaging and Non-destructive Testing, Computational Electromagnetics, Microwave Passive Devices, Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC), and Millimeter & Microwave circuits.
About the Symposium
Antennas are a very crucial part of all wireless electronic gadgets. Currently, the 5G wireless network is in the implementation stage, and it is facing various challenges in its deployment. This symposium will cover the fundamentals of 5G antennas and their implementation in the real world with lab demonstrations. Various sessions under the symposium are planned to impart state-of-the-art training to the delegates and create a skilled workforce to contribute to the national 5G mission. More details about the course are provided below.
