By invitation
Prof. Suranjan Das, the Vice Chancellor of the University, and the Chairman of the Advisory Committee
could not be present due to his urgent unavoidable occupation elsewhere.
At his instance, Prof. Tapan Kumar Mukherjee, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (BA&F)-CU, kindly consented to be in
the Chair, and accordingly he started the proceedings.
Professor Mukherjee appreciated the great service of the past UGC nominee of the Advisory Committee,
Late Professor TC Goel. The Committee and the faculty members, observed one minute silence to mark their
respect to Professor Goel.
Professor Mukherjee welcomed the members, in particular Professor Naresh Dadhich, Director IUCAAPune, the new UGC Nominated Expert. He further suggested Professor Gautam Ghosh, Head of the
Department, to present the activities of the Centre.
Professor Ghosh then presented a report on the achievements of the Department, during the period 20082009, touching upon the following:
Establishment of the new Meeting Room, an addition to the infrastructure, following the
recommendation of the last Advisory Committee meeting. The room is to be named after Late Professor
A. N. Daw
Opening of the new auditorium, named after late Professor B. R. Nag
Multi-media projection facilities added in all the class rooms as well as in auditoriums and the new
meeting room
Digitization of the Departmental Library databank
The different Centres in the Department, including the UGC Networking Resource Centre
Conferences/symposia organized, as given in the Report
Shortage of Faculties due to retirement of Senior Teachers
Prof. P. K. Basu, CAS Coordinator, read out the minutes of the immediately past Advisory Committee.
Hence, the minutes were confirmed. Subsequently, Prof. Basu outlined the activities of the Centre in
different areas: academic, research, faculty achievements, conferences/workshops, summer/winter schools
under UGC Networking Resource Centre (UGC-NRC), IEEE Chapters, etc, and the total expenditure out of
the funds allocated by the UGC.
The Committee commended the excellent research work done by the Centre, as evidenced by a large number
of publications, presentation of papers at conferences, invited lectures, organization of conferences, and
summer/winter schools, etc, and the creation of centres of excellence within the Department, including the
recently established UGC Networking Resource Centre in Physical Science, to the credit of the centre.
Professor NK Dadhich (UGC nominee), impressed by the talent and tremendous potential of the faculty,
suggested that some of the researchers may take a leading role by carrying out original research in unsolved
challenging areas. Professor BN Basu (UGC nominee) expressed his satisfaction in that the major
recommendations in the immediately past meeting of the Committee, including the functioning of the
industry-institution consultancy, vocational training to the underprivileged, have been implemented in the
University.
Prof. Dadhich was of the opinion that more students from this department should be involved in research in
Radio Astronomy, as this department had been the earliest Centre of activity in this area led by late Prof. M.
K. Dasgupta of this department. At this point, Prof. A. K. Dasgupta pointed out that in recent years as many
as 6 students took vacation training in GMRT.
After introduction of the teachers to the UGC-nominated Experts, Centres activities were presented thrustarea-wise by the following faculty members:
Space Science and Communication
Microwave and Lightwave Technology
Solid State Electronics
System Science
Dr. Ashik Paul

The Experts appreciated the way the young faculties have come up with excellent performance. They also
lauded the standard and volume of work carried out within the limited infrastructure. Further, they
mentioned that in all the areas, the work to be done in future should have been specifically spelt out.
Recommendations of the Advisory Committee

for
Centre of Advanced Study in Radiophysics and Electronics
University of Calcutta
Meeting of the Advisory Committee held on March 2, 2009
1.
The Committee scrutinized the progress made by the CAS-Department (Institute of Radiophysics
and Electronics) during the reported period (2008-2009) based on the presentations of the Head of
the Department, CAS Coordinator and the concerned teachers, as well as on the deliberation,
following the presentations.
2.
During the reported period, the Institute of Radiophysics and Electronics (CAS-Department) has
carried out commendable academic and research work, as presented by the Department and as
evidenced by the record of publication of papers in peer-reviewed national and international
journals, publication of books, presentation of papers and invited lectures in national and
international conferences.
3.
In view of excellent work done by the Centre of Advanced Study, the Centre should be named as
UGC Centre of Excellence. Furthermore, since the Centre has been given the status of UGC
Networking Resource Centre, the Centre should be considered as Inter-University Centre. Hence,
more financial assistance from the UGC be provided and accordingly the department should work
out a proposal to be submitted to the UGC.
4.
The grant under the head of Visiting Professors/Fellows be enhanced to attract more external
experts from abroad.
5.
The Committee was of the opinion that the fellowships of Project Fellows (Rs. 6000/= pm only)
should be enhanced. The practice, as followed in some Central Universities, for granting enhanced
fellowship to those who qualify through university entrance examination, in lieu of GATE/NET,
may be explored.
6.
The Department has a few ongoing sponsored projects in the area of practical relevance. Thus, the
CAS-Department has complied with the suggestion of the Advisory Committee in the previous
meeting (2006-2007) to enhance R&D activities through sponsored research.
7.
The Department has 33 teachers (P-15, R-9, L-9) on roll as against the sanctioned strength of 46.
Therefore, the Department may take all steps to expedite the filling up of the vacant posts so that
the academic and R&D activities of CAS could be further accelerated.
8.
The Experts expressed satisfaction that the Department has been imparting education/vocational
training to the underprivileged, following the suggestion of the earlier Advisory Committee.
9.
The Experts also stressed the need for conferring the title of Adjunct Professor to the
Technologists from Industry invited as Guest Lecturers.
10. The Committee approved of the proposal to earmark Rs. 50,000/= only from the CAS fund for
holding the International Conference CODEC 2009.
11. The Experts also recommend that a Monitoring Committee be formed for the UGC Networking
Resource Centre including a few Experts from other Institutions in India.
12. The Advisory Committee is satisfied that Academic, Administrative, and Financial Autonomy to be
awarded to CAS departments within University systems, as suggested in the letter of Dr. A. K.
Parate, Joint Secretary, UGC addressed to Professor AK Banerjee, the Honble Vice-Chancellor,
University of Calcutta (DO 3-1/2008/SAP-I) dated 1 February 2008) are more or less extended to
the Centre. The Committee also noted that the view expressed by the department in the recruitment
of faculties and support staff in the last years meeting is being given consideration by the
Syndicate of the University.
13. The Committee also recommends that a Memorial Lecture should be introduced for late Prof. M. K.
Dasgupta. The funds for UGC Networking Resource Centre may be utilized for this purpose.
14. In connection to a problem of maintenance, the Advisory Committee recommends that some
fraction of the overheads earned from the projects executed by the department be utilized for the
purpose. The department is asked to pursue this matter with the University Authorities.

The Glorious History of the Institute of Radio Physics & Electronics and the Centre
of Advanced Study
The Institute of Radio Physics and Electronics was established as an independent post-graduate teaching and
research department of the University of Calcutta in the year 1949. The late Professor S.K.Mitra, D.Sc,
F.R.S., was the Head of the Institute until his retirement in 1955.
In retrospect, it was in the year 1925 that the University of Calcutta introduced wireless as an elective
subject for special study in its post-graduate course in Pure Physics and started at the same time a wireless
laboratory for teaching and research in the fields of electron tubes and radio wave propagation in the upper
atmosphere. Ever increasing applications of radio waves, especially on the eve of and during the Second
World War, and the rapid development of electronics as an important science by itself created a new
situation. Inclusion of these developments was found impossible if the teaching and research activities in
these subjects were to be confined within the necessarily limited scope allowed to them as a part of another
post-graduate course. A large-scale expansion and re-organization became imperative. To meet this situation
the university, in 1946, formulated a plan for the creation of a separate post-graduate department for Radio
Physics and Electronics by pooling the then existing resources of the Wireless section of the Pure Physics
department and the Communication Engineering section of the Applied Physics department. A visiting
committee of the All India Council for Technical Education (A.I.C.T.E) approved this plan in 1947. Grants
sanctioned by the Government of India on the recommendation of this committee enabled the creation in
1949 of the Institute of Radio Physics and Electronicsan independent post-graduate teaching and research
department of the University of Calcutta.
The foundation stone of the Institute of Radio Physics and Electronics was laid on April 21, 1949, by the
then Premier of West Bengal, Dr. B.C.Roy. The concluding remark of his address on the occasion of laying
the foundation stone of the Institute was the following:
Let me hope that in laying the foundation stone of the Institute of Radio Physics and
Electronics today, I have planted a seed which will grow into a mighty tree, spreading its
branches much beyond the borders of your present expectation. The Institute will become not
only an all-India center of study and research but will also attract earnest seekers after truth
from beyond the boundaries of India.
A look at the Institute today should convince anybody that the expectations of Dr. Roy are well on the way
to fulfillment almost to the word.
In the beginning, the Institute started its first session of 2-year M.Sc. course in Radio Physics and
Electronics from July 1949. As the main building of the Institute (completed and occupied by end of 1951)
was under construction at that time, classes were held in different places of the Science College campusin
the seminar rooms of Pure Physics and Applied Physics departments. Practical work was conducted in the
Pure Physics and Applied Physics Laboratories and drawing classes were held in the Applied Chemistry
building. The infant department had thus to struggle hard during the first two years of its existence. The first
examination was held in November, 1951, exactly as scheduled.
Hardly had the department come into existence when plans for the expansion of the 2-year M.Sc. course to a
3-year course leading to the M.Sc. (Tech.) degree engaged the mind of its founder members. This was
necessitated by two factors. First, the latest developments in Radio Physics and Electronics could no longer
be given adequate coverage within the curriculum of a two- year course. Secondly, a 3-year course would be
in conformity with the general pattern of technological education recommended by AICTE. The approval for
the 3-year M.Sc. (Tech.) course in Radio Physics and Electronics came from University Grants Commission
( U.G.C. ) on recommendation of AICTE, in April 1957.
14
Soon after, came a major boost that further brightened the path of progress for the growing Institute. Early in
1962, UGC recommended the establishment of Centers of Advanced Study (CAS) in selected university
departments known for their tradition and promise. The object the commission had in view was to encourage
the pursuit of excellence and to accelerate the realization of international standards in the field of postgraduate education and research. In recognition of the tradition built here, this Institute was nominated as
one of the five Centers of Advanced Study in 1962-63. This nomination, with promise of financial assistance
to intensify teaching and research activities so as to achieve a high standard of excellence on the
international level, fired the staff of the Institute from top to bottom. United as a team, the members set to
work, each in his own sphere, with redoubled vigor.
In 1969, grants for the third stage of development of the Institute were received from the UGC which
recommended drastic changes in the courses to be offered. In short, the approved scheme of development
was: i) conversion of the 2-year B.Tech. Course to a 3-year graduate course leading to B.Tech. degree with
an annual intake of 30 students, ii) conversion of the 1-year M.Tech. course to a 2-year post-graduate course
leading to the M.Tech. degree with an annual intake of 25 students.
With the financial assistance allotted for the CAS, combined with the grants received for the third
development stage, the facilities of the Institute began to develop as desired. A new multi storied building
(known as the CAS building) was constructed at a site adjacent to the Science College campus. Additions
to staff, equipment and books paved the way for intensification of activities. The provisions for Visiting
Professors, seminars and symposia, travel and personnel exchange facilities substantially accelerated the
progress of the Institute.
Meanwhile, on the report of the Assessment committee appointed by the UGC ( in 1973-74 ) to evaluate the
performance of the Center during the first decade of its existence, the UGC classified it as excellent and
offered to continue grants to the center under Special Assistance Program (S.A.P) of CAS in selected thrust
areas of research. On the basis of its continuing tradition of high quality research the Institute is still getting
grants from UGC under the SAP.
The Institute celebrated its Silver Jubilee in 1973. In late 1970s an academic link program ALIS was
established between the Institute and a few UK Universities. The program encouraged bilateral exchange of
scientists. A Liquid Phase Epitaxy (LPE) Reactor was received by the Centre as a gift with which work on
growth of semiconductor heterojunction started. A Centre for Research and Training in Radar and
Microwaves also started functioning in 1970s.
The University created a separate department named as the Department of Computer Science and
Engineering in 1980. A number of teachers of the Centre were transferred and some of the facilities of the
Centre were also made available to this new department. The activities related to computers in the Centre
were somewhat reduced, but the work on semiconductor and space science scaled new heights. The Centre
received in this decade substantial grant from the UGC under the Committee for Strengthening Infrastructure
in Science and Technology (COSIST). Equipment related to Microelectronics, mm wave technology and
characterization of semiconductors were procured out of the fund received. The Centre celebrated the birth
centenary of its founder Prof. S. K. Mitra in 1989. Almost concurrently a new Department of Electronic
Science was created by the University. The teachers of the Centre provided initial support to this new
department in all sorts of activities.
In the decade of 1990s, UGC established the Eastern Centre for Radio Astronomy (ECRA) making
INRAPHEL as its nodal point and identifying Haringhata Field station as the site for observation. Society for
Applied Microwave Electronics Engineering Research (SAMEER), an organization funded by the then
Department of Electronics, Government of India, opened a branch in Calcutta in this period. Two floors of
the CAS building were rented to it to start with. New projects for fabrication of IMPATT diodes and
characterization of mm wave devices were awarded to the Centre by different National Organizations.

The Institute started its golden jubilee celebration in 1998 by holding an International Conference
Computers and Devices for Communication (CODEC). A two day Workshop Nanostructures, Applications
and Goals (NAG) was held prior to CODEC to felicitate its illustrious teacher Prof. B. R. Nag. Next year an
Indo-French Workshop Quantum Semiconductor Structures: Modern Developments (QUASEMOD) was
also organized by the Institute. With continuation of CAS status, new areas of research, e.g., Atmospheric
pollution and greenhouse gases, mm wave propagation, GPS, satellite communication, photonics, etc. were
undertaken. With funding from the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) a Centre named as S. K.
Mitra Centre for Space Weather was established in the Institute in 2002.
The Technical Education Quality Improvement Program (TEQIP): a joint venture of World Bank-MHRD,
Govt. of India, was introduced in West Bengal in 2002. The University College of Technology (UCT-CU)
was identified as one of the lead Institution. As a department of UCT-CU INRAPHEL received some
equipment and other support under the program.
The CAS status has been extended to cover the years 2005-2010 on recommendation of a Review committee
that visited the Centre in March 2005.
UGC was entrusted to identify 10 Networking Resource Centres, two each in Physical, Chemical,
Biological, Mathematical and Materials Sciences in the country. In the first phase CAS in RPE has been
given this status.
The Government of West Bengal decided to create a Centre for Research and Training in Microaves and
Millimeter waves pooling the resources of the Training program in MM wave technology. The Centre starts
its activities in 2008.
A new centre: Centre fur TeleInFrastructur : India (CTIF-India) has been established in the Institute on
December 07, 2007.
ISRO has selected University of Calcutta for financial support under the programme of "Strengthening of
Space Science Activities at Universities".
In addition, a few other Cntres have been established or are to be established in the Institute. The complete
list of such Centres with the respective year of establishment is given below

ANNEXURE IV(A)
A Report on the Activities of
S.K. MITRA CENTRE FOR RESEARCH IN SPACE ENVIRONMENT
Late Professor Sisir Kumar Mitra, FRS, is the pioneer of radio and space researches in this part of
the globe. He established the Institute of Radio Physics and Electronics of this University in 1949
with his school of space physicists as its core group. The activities of this Institute were
subsequently expanded to cover areas like Solid State Electronics, Computer and System Science,
in addition to the Ionosphere and Wave Propagation. In recent years, however, the research interest
of the Ionosphere and Wave Propagation Group was limited to some selected areas due to lack of
funds and manpower. However, the scientific contributions in those limited areas have been
significant and internationally recognized. The University, with the support of Indian Space
Research Organization (ISRO), proposed to establish a Centre in memory of Late Professor Sisir
Kumar Mitra to undertake research in the existing as well as new fields, extending from
troposphere to upper atmosphere. Professor R.N.Basu, former Vice Chancellor and Professor
A.K.Banerjee, the Honorable Vice Chancellor, formally approached the Chairman, ISRO for
providing financial support to the Centre. After prolonged interactions with Advisory Committee on
Space Research (ADCOS) of ISRO four research proposals on the following topics with a total
budget of Rs. 75.2 lakhs were sanctioned by ISRO Headquarters under the umbrella of the proposed
Centre:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
Atmospheric Electricity
Space Weather
Lower Atmospheric Chemistry
Radio Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere
Late Dr. A.P. Mitra, FRS, played the key role in formulating the scientific programme of
the Centre and extended his support as the then Chairman of ADCOS, ISRO. The Centre was
formally inaugurated on 12 March 2002. The Institute of Radio Physics and Electronics was chosen
as the nodal department to organize the Centre which will be inter-departmental in nature, involving
the University departments like Radio Physics and Electronics, Physics, Chemistry, Atmospheric
Sciences and Marine Science.
The first phase of the ISRO funded projects ended in March 2007. A set of proposals was
submitted to ISRO HQ for the second phase and four projects were approved with the funds
totaling Rs. 95.48 lakhs for the period 2007-2010. Apart form the projects approved directly by
ISRO HQ, four other projects sanctioned by SAC, ISRO and CAWSES India, ISRO, have been
carried out at the Centre. Through the implementation of these projects, the Centre participated in a
number of ISRO supported national programmes such as, GAGAN, CAWSES, Megha Tropiques
Mission, Ka-band Satellite Propagation, and the international programmes namely, SCINDA and
COSMIC Satellite.
The projects presently being carried out at the Centre are listed in Annexure IX.

ANNEXURE IV(B)
UGC NETWORKING RESOURCE CENTRE IN PHYSICAL SCIENCES
The recommendation of the MHRD task force for Basic Scientific research in Universities as approved by
the Government of India stated that There is a need to create 10 networking centres in basic sciences (two
centres each in Physical Science, Chemical Science, Life Science, Materials Science and Mathematical
Science) in leading departments of Universities in different parts of the country to promote collaborative
research, access to advanced facilities and imparting training in frontier areas. These centres should be
supported on a long term basis in a substantial manner to enable them to realize internationally competitive
status. The system of both Winter and Summer Schools must be supported. Each subject area of basic
sciences may offer up to ten programs a year. There should be provision for Visiting Fellowships for
faculties within the country.
The University Grants Commission accepted the guidelines proposed by the Empowered Committee for
establishing the UGC Networking Centres. It was decided to identify three UGC networking Centres during
the year 2007-2008, one each in Life Sciences, Physical Sciences and Chemical Sciences.
Accordingly, proposals were invited from SAP departments indicating the areas of Summer/Winter schools,
types of training, available infrastructure, laboratories, equipment etc as well as expertise of faculties, and
awards and honours received by them. The proposals were considered by the Empowered Committee and
after their scrutiny Centre of Advanced Study in Radio Physics and Electronics (CASRPE), University of
Calcutta, was invited to make a presentation at the UGC office, New Delhi, on November 20, 2007. The
Empowered Committee advised the CASRPE to submit a revised proposal specifying the number of intakes
in each type of training, proposed plan of work, etc.
The revised proposal submitted by CASRPE was given careful examination by the Empowered Committee,

ANNEXURE IV(C)
Centre for Research and Training in Microwaves & Millimetrewaves
Microwaves and Millimeter waves are radio waves of wavelength in the range of 100 mm to 1mm.
These waves were first put into practical use during World War II. Rapid development in various fields of
Electronic Engineering thereafter has led to many new applications, in recent years, in the field of
Communication, Information-highways, Instrumentation, Remote Sensing and Weather forecasting etc.
Keeping these application potentials in view, Department of Electronics, Govt. of India, under the
Technology Development Programme of National Radar Council had initiated projects of R & D nature at
the Institute of Radiophysics and Electronics, University of Calcutta, in the area of Microwaves and
Millimeterwaves during 1980s. These covered studies related to wave propagation and remote sensing as
part of the technology development programme of DOE. Subsequently with further financial support from
other funding agencies, which include AICTE, MHRD, DST, DRDO, ADA, UGC and TISCO, different
activities were undertaken in the form of delivering electronic hardware, system fabrication and installation
at the users premises and feasibility studies of various propagation impairments related to communication,
radar, radiometry and remote sensing.
To sustain and propagate all these R&D activities in millimeterwave/microwave technology in the
country, the need for creating scientific and technical manpower in the field was felt. In view of this, DOE,
Govt. of India, offered Institute of Radiophysics and Electronics, University of Calcutta, to undertake a
Training Programme in Millimeterwave Technology, for a five year period commencing from 1988.
Undertaking the programme was possible because an infrastructure worth about Rs. 3 crores had already
been developed with funds from various agencies. It is important to note that the programme of this type was
the first of its kind in Eastern India.
Under this Programme, expert manpower and a resource group in this area have been developed
and a number of consultancy jobs have been extended to the Defence Sectors, Department of
Telecommunication, Department of Space, Department of Science and Technology. Further, a number of
products developed through this Programme are used in Atmospheric Science.
During the last five years, Institute of Radiophysics and Electronics has organized several Refresher
Courses and a Workshop, mainly on Microwave, Millimetrewave and Optical Communication, under the
Training Programme. A one-year PG Diploma course on Microwave and Millimeterwave Technology has
been launched but had to be held in abeyance after one batch of students passed out due to some
administrative problems. The University of Calcutta with the concurrence from the Govt. of West Bengal,
has decided to convert the Training Programme to a permanent centre. The Govt. of W.B. has decided to
continue funding the Programme so that the Diploma Course is set to be revived. It is also being planned to
upgrade the Diploma Course to full-fledged 4-semester M. Tech. in Microwave and Millimeterwave
Engineering.
In consideration of the importance of microwaves and milimetrewaves and the expertise and
infrastructure available in the department, the Government of west Bengal made a decision to create a
permanent centre entitled Centre for Research and Training in Microwaves and Millimetre waves in the
Institute. At present two existing Scientists working in the Training Programme are absorbed as faculties in
the department. The Centre has One Research Fellow, one technical assistant and one Office Assistant.
The Centre started its activity in July 2008. A one day workshop entitled Horizons of Microwave
& Millimetrewave Engineering & Research (HOMMER) was held on August 22, 2008 [see list of
speakers and topics in Annexure VIII]. The Centre is planning to introduce an M. Tech programme in Radio
Physics and Electronics with specialization in Microwaves and Lightwaves.

ANNEXURE V(A)
RESEARCH ACTIVITIES (EXECUTED)
Solid State Electronics & Circuits
(including VLSI & Nanoelectronics)
Transport and Magnetotransport of Low Dimensional Systems
The author has studied magnetoelectronic transport of the two -dimensional electron gas in CdSe single
quantum wells. The diffusion thermopower of the two- dimensional electron gas in GaN single quantum
wells has been investigated. The Monte- Carlo study of NDR effect in GaN at Terahertz frequencies has
been done. Drain current vs. drain voltage characteristics of nanoscale 2D GaAs MOSFETs has been
investigated. Calculation of gain in GaAlAs/GaAs superlattice laser has been made..
Nanoscale MOSFETs
Analytical modeling for nanoscale MOSFETs has been developed and the devices have been simulated using
the numerical device simulator ATLAS/ MEDICI. MOS devices utilizing high mobility channel materials
like Ge, GaAs, strained-Si, along with a variety of high-k dielectrics and having different innovative
architectures such as dual gate MOSFETs have been employed in our studies. Different performance metrics
pertaining to MOS devices have been evaluated using analytical and numerical approaches and the results
have been compared with reported experimental results.
Quantum Ring,
Intersubband transitions in semiconductor Quantum Rings have been studied in detail.
Photodetectors
Noise performance in Ge Schottky photodetector, performance of CMOS PDs, (Translasers, QDIPs, Type-II
Superlattice photodetectors, etc.) and other properties have been investigated.
Silicon Photonics
The possibility of having direct band gap in tensile strained Ge layers grown on suitable pseudo substrates
was examined. It has been found that when Ge layers are grown on a ternary alloy GeSiSn, the direct
conduction band in Ge occurs at a lower energy than the usual conduction band minima at L point. The band
line-up is also typeI. However, the band gap is around 0.5-0.6 eV. To have a structure emitting at
communication wavelength of 1550 nm, addition of slight amount of C in Ge layer becomes necessary. It
was shown that SiGe alloy grown on GeSiSn can also lead to direct gap type I structure.
Direct Gap Type I GeC/GeSiSn Heterojunctions
Application of tensile strain in Ge lowers the valley below the L valleys but the direct gap is reduced from
the value in unstrained Ge. We considered Ge 1-qCq (C <4%) active layers with Ge 1-x-ySixSny as the barrier and
estimated the range of compositions in the active and barrier layers to yield direct gap (~0.8 eV) type I
alignment by using model solid theory.
Ge/SiGe RCE Photodetectors (QCSE and FKE)
Si-based photodetectors are currently studied for providing cheap solution to long haul and short distance
communication and optical interconnects. Tensile strained Ge layers grown with suitable barriers show direct
gap type I band alignment. We have worked on resonant cavity enhanced (RCE) photodetectors using
40
Ge/SiGe type I structure. Performance of photodetectors using strong Quntum Confined Stark Effect, and
Franz-Keldysh Effect in these structures and properties related to photodetection are studied in this paper.
Prediction of band offsets of the ternary alloy Si1-x-ySnxCy on Si
The band offsets and band gap for strained Si 1-x-ySnxCy layers grown on Si substrate are estimated. The
hydrostatic strain, the uniaxial strain and the intrinsic alloy effect are considered separately. The model is
verified with the available bandgap energy of binary material.
Feasibilty of Laser Action in Strained Ge and Group IV Alloys on Si Platform
Group IV elements and their alloys show poor light emission due to their indirect gap. Application of tensile
strain in Ge lowers the valley below the L valleys but the direct gap is reduced from the value in
unstrained Ge. This paper discusses various possibilities of obtaining direct gap in Ge including Ge
nanowires. We present also our results on direct gap type I alignment showing direct gap at ~ 0.8 eV in Si 1-pqGep Cq (C <4%) active layers with Ge 1-x-ySixSny as the barrier. We have chosen a composition to give the
critical thickness as high as possible and estimated its absorption coefficients: both fundamental and free
carrier, by using theoretical expressions, available data for Ge and suitable interpolation. The linear gain
spectra, and transparency carrier density for the chosen heterostructure are then estimated. The threshold
current density for an optimized structure may be approximately 800 A/cm 2.
A compact drift-diffusion current model of strained-Si-Si1-xGex MOSFETs
In this work, we calculated the drift diffusion drain current of a strained Si n-channel MOSFET grown on a
relaxed Si1-xGex layer using a compact model. The results are compared with the experimental data already
reported. The current is also compared with that of unstrained Si n-MOSFET. The effect of strain and oxide
thickness are also determined and reported here.
Ge/Si Photodetectors and Group IV Alloy Based Photodetector Materials
Photodetectors using Si, Ge and their alloys with other group IV elements are of current interest for
application in telecommunication as well as in optical interconnects. We have presented in this paper our
work on resonant cavity enhanced (RCE) Si/SiGe multiple Quantum Well (MQW) and Ge Schottky
photodetectors. Calculated values of external quantum efficiency for GeSiC based photodetectors are also
reported. Tensile strained Ge layers grown with suitable barriers show direct gap type I band alignment.
Predicted performance of photodetectors using strong Quantum Confined Stark Effect and Franz-Keldysh
Effect in these structures and properties related to photodetection using these new materials are also
described.
Transistor Laser
Under high level of injection into the base of a Heterobipolar transistor, population inversion may be
possible in the base.Application of positive feedback by enclosing the layer between two mirrors may lead
to laser action. In the work, a InGaP-GaAs-GaAs heterobipolar transistor with an InGaAs Quantum Well in
the intrinsic GaAs base is considered. The gain of the device is calculated by taking dipole matrix element,
2D density-of-states, Lorentzian broadening, etc. The threshold curent density is related to base current by
using solution of continuity equation. The calculated value of threshold base current agrees well with the
experimental value. The amplification of the structure as an amplifier, transient response etc are determined.
The present work provides an unified model of TL connecting optical and electrical characteristics.
VLSI Devices and Circuits
1) Statistical study has been made of the effect of process parameter variations on the performances of
CMOS digital and analog circuits using HSPICE.
41
2) Development of artificial neural network and least squares support vector machine based regression
model have been undertaken.
3) Design of CMOS opamp, VCO and PLL circuits was made.

IMPATTs based on Wide Bandgap Semiconductors (SiC and GaN):
The millimeter wave performance of DDR IMPATTs based on hexagonal (4H and 6H) and cubic (3C)
silicon carbide at the window frequency of 94 GHz has been studied through modeling and simulation
technique for high power operation mode. Also studies have been carried out on the performance of WZGaN IMPATT diode at THz frequencies by taking into account the effect of space charge.
Experimental work on IMPATT
Development of 94 GHz silicon SDR IMPATT diode through diffusion route has been successfully carried
out in the Microelectronics Laboratory, of the department by using the optimum design parameters. The DC
I-V characteristics of the device show reverse breakdown voltage of 10-11V, which is suitable for 94 GHz
operation.
Left Handed Materials (Metamaterial)
*During 2009-20010, we have been working on the physics and technology of metamaterials (LHM). In a
nutshell our study involves analytical studies on different plasmonic LHM structures like wire-array (both
full-wire following Drude model and cut-wire following Lorentz model) and split-ring resonator. Also the
negative refractive index and transmission characteristics of the propagating electromagnetic wave through
any LHM medium have been studied to understand the negative refraction property. We have made further
analytical studies on the variants of SRR namely Multiple Split Ring Resonators (MSRR), Spiral Resonators
(SR), and Labyrinth Resonators (LR) and investigated the suitability of the structures for microwave and
millimeter-wave applications. The substrate dependence at higher frequencies has also been taken care of
(with RT-duroid being better than FR4 Epoxy at millimeter-wave frequency). Some studies on the dispersion
characteristics of composite right/left handed (CRLH) transmission Line and a special type of stop-band
filter arrangement with CPW-SRR combination have also been done.
*To design metamaterial based IMPATT oscillators and power combiner which is expected to give much
better phase-noise ( - 140 dBc/Hz for 100kHz offset from carrier) than even dielectric resonator we have
carried out large-signal analysis of IMPATT diode in terms of impedance characterization which need to be
optimally matched with the G-B plot of metamaterial circuit, the CRLH structure, to realize the desired
phase-noise characteristics. This work is related to a collaborative research with Yamaguchi University,
Japan.
SOA Based Optical Signal Processing
We have carried out some work on SOA based all optical signal processing. A good circuit model of SOA in
integrated circuit implementation has been developed and its application in photonic switching is currently
being investigated. Also we developed a model of Semiconductor Optical Amplifier using a Simple
Asymmetrical Multiple Quantum-Well Structure. Interchannel crosstalk mitigation in presence of Assist light
in a TOAD de-multiplexture has been investigated experimentally and theoretically. Finally a study on
performance degradation introduced by ADD/DROP Multiplexing Operation in a SOA-Based WDM Ring
Network has been carried out and under investigation.
42

Measurement of the complex microwave conductivity of different types of conducting polymers is
continuing. The method has been extended to measure the same for liquids. Further a simulation technique is
being tested to determine the values of the permittivity of unknown samples from the perturbation produced.

detectors based on III-Nitride material systems; Development of optical devices based on the intersubband
transitions of III-Nitride quantum wells
Optical Communication
Study of Component Cross-talk and Obtaining Optimum Detection Threshold for Minimum Bit-Error-Rate
in a WDM Receiver,
Microwave Antenna
Significant amount of research has been undertaken in the area of printed antenna for wireless applications
as well as of dielectric resonator antenna.
Space and Atmospheric Science and Communication

Classification of rain types based on DSD measurements
The variations of parameters of rain drop size distribution are indicative of the evolution of different types
of rain during a rain event. The rain DSD can be expressed in terms of a three parameter gamma function,
namely, N(D) = No D e D . The three parameters are obtained from the second and sixth moments of DSD.
The larger rain drops as indicated by higher values of N0 are associated with convective rain, whereas small
drops dominate in the stratiform rain. Also, there is a transition case between convective and stratiform rain.
The rain classification is also evident from the clustering of rain rate decay parameter as obtained from Kuband attenuation measurements over an earth-space path.
The seasonal variations of DSD at different rain rates are obtained to indicate that larger drops are more
abundant in the pre-monsoon months than in the monsoon. This reveals that the monsoon months (JulySeptember) are dominated by stratiform rain whereas the pre-monsoon months (March-April) have more
convective rain than the monsoon period.
Modelling of rain rate and rain attenuation
The rain rate and rain attenuation measurements have been carried out at Kolkata(22.651N, 88.451E), India,
a tropical location, since 2004.The measured rain attenuation is compared with the simple attenuation model
(SAM) and ITU-R model generated values. The relation between the rain rate and rain attenuation is
analyzed for three years data (20052007) and a year-to-year variation is noticed. Rain attenuation has been
found higher in the pre-monsoon period than in the monsoon months for identical rain rate. Cumulative
distributions of rain rate and rain attenuation data along with the respective ITU-R models for three years are
also obtained.
Modeling of cloud liquid water and cloud attenuation
Cloud liquid water contents have been obtained from the radiosonde measurements using the Salonen
model at a tropical location, which show a strong seasonal control with a significant enhancement in the
43
monsoon months. The ITU-R model underestimates LWC values at the present location. The relationship of
the cloud attenuation, derived by from the profiles of liquid water density and temperature within the cloud,
with the cloud LWC shows a considerable departure from that obtained from the ITU-R model. In the
frequency range 10 to 100 GHz, the cloud attenuation at Kolkata is somewhat overestimated by the ITU-R
model below 50 GHz, but significantly underestimated by the ITU-R model above 70 GHz. The data are
important in view of the upcoming satellite communications in Ka band in the tropical region.
Interrelation between water vapor, cloud liquid water and rain
Liquid and ice water content of the atmosphere, as obtained from radiosonde data over Kolkata, show
significantly high values during monsoon period (July-September) compared to non-monsoon months. An
interrelation between integrated water vapour content and liquid water content is obtained which indicates
that once liquid water is formed in the atmosphere, it increases with the water vapour content.
Micro Rain Radar to study the vertical profile of rain rate, radar reflectivity during a storm
A micro rain radar (MRR) has been in operation since February 2009.MRR was run before, during and after
a cyclonic storm, called Aila, accompanied by light to heavy rain on 25 May 2009. The radar reflectivity
profile obtained from MRR indicated large vertical extent of convective rain beyond 6 km (limit of MRR
observations). Also evident was the formation of melting layer at a height of 5 km, after subsiding of the
storm indicating the settling of rain into the stratiform type.
At Ahmedabad, the vertical rain structure and different rain parameters like drop size distribution, liquid
water content, fall velocity of hydrometeors etc. have been obtained using a Micro Rain Radar. The study
shows the existence of melting layer in stratiform rain type. The vertical structure of stratiform rain is found
to be highly non-uniform. It is also observed that the small size drop concentrations are more in convective
rain than stratiform rain type.
Utilization of TRMM data to study the rain and comparison with ground based measurements
TRMM PR data measurements of radar reflectivity were compared to ground-based measurements of
disdrometer. The regions of rain events where large drops dominate were also the regions of convective rain
indicated by the TRMM flag for the reflectivity data. The model of effective rain height for different types of
rain are also obtained from TRMM rain rate profiles which improve the prediction of rain attenuation from
ground based measurements.
Rain event duration study
Rain attenuation mitigation requires the knowledge of distribution of rain events, which is not much
analysed over Indian region. In this study, the rain measurements of Ahmedabad for 3 years are used to
estimate and model the distribution of rain events with rain rate. It is found that the average duration of the
events follows an exponential distribution with rain rate. The occurrence probability of the events are also
analysed.
Micro Rain Cell study
The high rain rate limits the service availability severely for satellite communication operating above 10
GHz frequencies. Convective rain, which normally encountered in tropical regions, occurs with high rain fall
rate and is much localized phenomena. Site diversity is one of the possible techniques which are normally
used to improve the link availability of such systems. An experiment has been performed by installing 10
raingauges in Space Applications Centre, ISRO, Ahmedabad to capture very small scale rain cell for
identification of optimum site separation between two VSAT terminals. Using two years continuous
44
measurement, rain cell size distribution has been obtained. The optimum site separation is also calculated
using simulated rain attenuation along with GSAT-4 satellite link over Ahmedabad.
Ionospheric Delay Modeling for Navigational Applications
Ionophereic delay encountered by GPS signals introduces severe error in position estimation. The proper
modeling of ionospheric delay over Indian region is very challenging for implementation of GPS Aided Geo
Augmented Navigation (GAGAN) system as a part of Global Navigational Satellite System (GNSS) due to
the complexity of ionosphere in tropical region. Using Total Electron Content (TEC) data from 18 station
spread over India, a two shell model of ionosphere has been developed. The model has been found to be
performed better than the existing models.
GPS TEC and Phase Fluctuations
Intense Space Weather events were recorded on some nights of 2008-2009 when GPS links located almost
due south of Kolkata exhibited fluctuations in CNO and associated bite-outs in TEC. Patches of scintillations
were also noted on the phase of the GPS L1 signal around the same time. Intensity of the phase scintillation
patches have been quantified in terms of and their power spectral characteristics were studied. These are
perhaps the first GPS phase scintillation studies from India.
Development of Ionospheric Scintillation Models

The amplitudes of two geostationary satellite signals FLEETSATCOM (250MHz, 73 0 E) (350 km
subionospheric point: 21.100 N, 87.250 E geographic; 28.650 N magnetic dip, 15.280 N dip latitude) and
INMARSAT (1.6GHz, 650E) (350 km subionospheric point: 21.090 N, 86.590 E geographic; 28.740 N
magnetic dip, 15.330 N dip latitude) are recorded at Kolkata over one solar cycle. The data were analyzed to
find out the Scintillation Index (SI) during 1996 to 2006. The long term analysis helps to know about the
dependency of scintillation activity on local time, season and solar cycle. Using the data of percentage
occurrence of scintillation for magnetically quiet day (Dst -50 nT) a scintillation occurrence model is
developed for the rising and declining phases of the solar cycle using Neural Network.
Detection of Travelling Ionospheric Disturabnces (TIDs) associated with the solar

eclipses of July
22, 2009 and January 15, 2010 by GPS TEC monitoring
GPS TEC (Total Electron Content) data were analyzed from the three stations at Institute of Radio Physics
and Electronics, Kolkata, ISRO Regional Remote Sensing Service Center at IIT Kharagpur and K. N.
College, Baharampore during the total solar eclipse of July 22, 2009 and January 15, 2010. The early
morning growth of ionization was found to be delayed on July 22, 2009 in comparison to the day before and
the day after. A series of depletions in TEC indicative of TIDs were noted on some of the GPS links east of
the stations after the period of totality. Data from the annular solar eclipse of January 15, 2010 are now being
analyzed.
Systems Science
Computer Aided Diagnostics
AI based Computer Aided Diagnosis systems (CADs) are developed to assist the clinicians for
therapeutic procedures. But, in decision making problems, particularly in a case of medical diagnosis, there
is a fair chance of the existence of a non-null hesitation part at each moment of evaluation of any unknown
object. For this purpose, a more generalized fuzzy set approach is implemented for capturing vagueness of
data. Gradation and prognosis of tumors are also evaluated incorporating this generalized fuzzy approach.

Medical Image Acquisition

Medical image acquisition using different modalities like X-ray, CT, MR, PET, SPECT, US are
increasingly being used by the clinicians for therapy planning. Therefore a need exists to bring different
modalities images in a common platform for the purpose of information processing. Keeping this in view,
different multimodal image alignment techniques are developed and their performances are evaluated. For
finding of optimal solution, different evolutionary algorithms are implemented and evaluated.
In present technologies, multimodal radiological images are used as an important tool in diagnosis and
evaluation. This motivates us to derive different fusion methodologies to combine the useful complementary
information into a single composite image that is more informative and suitable for visual perception.

Genomic Signal Processing
Research work done in the area of genomic signal processing which is digital signal processing applying in

problem to the researchers is to predict the location of protein coding regions of a DNA sequence.
Developed two algorithms for exon prediction, one is based on positional frequency distribution of
neuclotides and another is based on neuclotides bonding. The algorithms successfully identify protein
coding regions of DNA sequences for several organisms.
Encryption
Watermarking, as a step to ensure security of classified data, is being studied. Encryption of the data using
watermarking techniques subject to attacks from noise of varying amplitudes is being investigated. The
results are encouraging

*Present research involves detailed study on transmission characteristics of plasmonic LHM to identify the
zones of RHM, electric plasma, LHM, magnetic plasma. The whole phenomena need to be understood from

components will be taken up for detailed investigation during the next year.
*We are also planning to investigate the phenomena of evanescent wave growth in LHM from the point of
view of surface plasmon polariton cavity possibly formed within the plasmonic LHM slab. Evanescent wave
amplification is expected to perform perfect focusing of point source at the image plane getting over the
problem of diffraction limit using LHM plane slab as the media. This will make possible sub-wavelength
imaging using plane metamaterial slab. This work is in collaboration with SAMEER, Kolkata and the

The Megha Tropiques Mission is a joint venture of ISRO and CNES (France) to study the convective
systems and their role on tropical weather and climate. The satellite will be launched in the second half of
2010. This Institute has already been identified as a major site in the convective rainfall regime for

base height, earth-space propagation parameters, with all-sky scanning facility, can also be obtained with the
radiometer. HATPRO along with other experimental systems will provide a major facility for radio remote
sensing of the tropical atmosphere.
GPS & TEC
The phenomena of equatorial electrojet (EEJ), counter electrojet (CEJ) and equatorial ionization anomaly
(EIA) and their interplay governs the electrodynamics of the low latitude ionosphere. The development of
the EIA in the afternoon hours has a close relation with the occurrence of ESF on a particular night, although
the exact mechanism connecting the two phenomena is still unknown. A developed EIA not only results in a
sharp latitudinal gradient equatorward of the northern/southern crest but on the poleward side as well, the
latter being more intense than the former. Although a large number of investigations have been conducted to
find and explain the characteristics of the CEJ event, its effects on the equatorial and off-equatorial
ionospheric electrodynamics is yet to be fully explored. Current understanding of the equatorial ionospheric
irregularities indicates that the seeding mechanism may be the driving mechanism behind the day-to-day
variability of ESF. Future efforts will aim to address the issues related to the interrelationship between the
EEJ/CEJ events and role of the gradient of EIA beyond the northern crest on the subsequent occurrence of
ESF, identification of a seeding mechanism/ precursor to ESF and tracking of ionospheric irregularities
generated over the magnetic equator using radar back-scattered signals, a chain of GPS TEC and scintillation
monitoring stations, and VHF satellite beacon measurements located more or less along the same meridian
around and beyond the northern crest of the EIA.

a special purpose dedicated system rather than a general purpose computer and is ideally suited for less
hardware complexity as well as low cost of production.
