MY TEACHER

TEACHER who INSPIRED

Prof. Bharathi Bhat

Best Teacher award- I won two times. It will not be an exaggeration if I mention that its all due to my TEACHER and GUIDE Prof.Bharathi Bhat who is a role model for many. Microwave community regards me just because I was a student of the world ideal teacher B.Bhat. Lesser did I know that I will meet such an ETHICAL teacher during my college days when I used to stand in front of ‘GIRIJA’, Ellis Road, Mylapore(the permanent residence of Sarvapalli Dr.S.Radhakrishnan who was instrumental in India celebrating his birth day as Teachers day). Harvard University educated B.Bhat has set an example of how an ideal teacher should be.She is a scholar, motivator, highly principled intellectual, stalwart in the subject, makes the student to think, soft spoken , not compromising any thing for the quality research, ethical , student friendly , dignified, imparts creativity, transparent and above all workaholic and the most unassuming noble professional.

After her successful research tenure in Harvard University under Ronald King(author of the classical book on Antenna), unlike many Indian Professors, she did not stay there further but returned back to serve the mother land and facilitated many scholars reach sky high academically and technically. Joining in IIT Delhi in 1973 she nurtured the country’s technological progress in the field of Microwave Engineering. Electromagnetics, the most difficult subject for electrical engineering students is a child’s play for her and she will train the students and make them love Microwaves. She corrects mistakes rather than answers during paper evaluation. Only after finding solutions of each question, she completes the question paper setting. She worked more time in the Microwave laboratory, IIT Delhi during Sabbatical leave. She is the first Indian lady academician who contributed more practical Microwave Engineering in the defense field and research. She teaches from her Heart and not through the books. In Microwave Engineering class she writes what works and works what she writes.

Brilliant in studies, professionally accomplished, sharp in intellect and memory, courageous and forthright in expressing views coupled

with a kind personality stands tall to inspire many students and research scholars.

Bhat’s books (co authored by Prof.Shiban K.Koul) On ‘Phase Shifters’, “Analysis, Design and Applications of Fin lines”, “Strip line like transmission lines” are the reference books for the academicians and technicians world wide. Her research findings have proved ‘Indians can be world beaten’. She has more than 100 research publications in IEEE journals and authored more than 7 world class microwave integrated circuit books of very high practical value. Those books used to serve as ready reckoners for Microwave components and circuit designers world wide.

Dr.APJ Abdul kalam has commented her achievement in his “wings of the fire” when she had developed Phase Shifter at the time of its non availability due to restrictions from developed countries. He further said the achievement of Bhat for design and development of multi tracking radar system has influenced him greatly.

"The AKASH missile system is guided by Phased Array Radar - RAJENDRA. This radar can simultaneously track multiple aircraft and also guide multiple missiles towards these targets. The crucial technology to achieve this capability is the 'phase shifter', when integrated in large numbers for electronic beam steering. RAJENDRA Radar has 4500 phase shifters. These phase shifters were not commercially available because of restriction from developed countries. This phase shifter was designed and developed by Prof Bharati Bhat, a well-known and respected scientist from Centre for Applied Research in Electronics (CARE) of IIT, Delhi, with her team. Today, India has the Phased Array Radar technology which is on par with that available in developed countries."

- DR.APJ ABDUL KALAM

“Normally design engineers do not have adequate opportunity to teach, and academic scholars rarely have the experience of developing devices and systems to the ultimate point of seeing them tested in the filed and accepted in service. Professor Bharathi Bhat combines these two distinct experiences in a very unusual manner and has done so for a number of years” – rightly quoted Prof.P.V.Indiresan, former. Director, IIT Chennai.

“ The visit of Bharathi Bhat, Emeritus Professor of IIT Delhi to N.I.T., Trichy was memorable and Motivational “- reported The HINDU. Those who have aversion for electromagnetic theory started loving it after her lecture.

Bharathi Bhat raised the values of the awards by accepting them. Prof.S.K.Chatterjee award, Distinguished Fellow of IETE, VASVIK Industrial research award for development of Ka-Band wave component and Ferrite Phase shifters for Defense organization, Distinguished Service award of IIT Delhi,DRDO academy excellence award, Institute of Engineers award, Ram lal Wadhwa Gold medal, SK Mittra award , The first IETE Prof.K.Sreenivasan award, IEEE Life time achievement award are the few of the many awards decorated the noble microwave legend of the world.

SHOULD I NOT THINK THE NOBLE TEACHER Prof.BHARATHI Bhat on this TEACHER’s Day ?

RAJESWARI CHATTERJEE – THE FIRST WOMAN SCIENTIST TO PIONEER THE FIELD OF MICROWAVE ENGINEERING IN INDIA

Rajeswari Chatterjee – The first Woman Scientist to pioneer the Field of Microwave Engineering in India Professor Rajeswari Chatterjee lived a fulfilled life as reflected in her own words “Lucky to be where I am” in her biography. Brilliant in studies, professionally accomplished, sharp in intellect and memory, courageous and forthright in expressing views coupled with a kind personality having deep concern for societal issues such as caste discrimination and women’s education, her life spanning Jan.1922 to Sept. 2010, stands tall to inspire, particularly young women scientists and engineers. Rajeswari had her early education in a “Special English School” set up by her grandmother, Kamalamma Dasappa, in the ‘Mahila Seva Samaj’ in Basavanagudi, Bangalore. Kamalamma was one of the very first women graduates in the erstwhile Mysore State and had played a pioneering role in social reform and for the emancipat...

SMITH CHART DESIGNED ON A CAKE WITH TECHNICAL MEASUREMENS for the first time in the WORLD

SMITH CHART DESIGNED ON A CAKE WITH TECHNICAL MEASUREMENS for the first time in the WORLD Smith Chart design on a Cake Smith Chart is a pictorial chart through which one can calculate complicated Transmission line (HIGH FREQUENCY MICROWAVE CIRCUIT THEORY) computations. In a second numerical answers can be found. This will be useful in WIRLESS COMMUNICATIONS and other microwave communications. Microwave Integrated Circuit components can be designed. Matching can be done.Amplifiers and Oscillators design can be made easy. The chart was found by Ph.Smith during 1938. The M.Tech first year ECE students under the guidance of Dr S Raghavan, Professor, ECE dept., N I T Trichy came out for the first time with the novel idea of DESIGNING the same through the cake.

FATHER OF RADIO WHO MADE INDIA PROUD

JC BOSE PEN SKETCH JC BOSE is the FATHER OF RADIO (and NOT MARCONI) of the world. Marconi himself had lots of regard for JC BOSE. He played with 65 GHz so many years before, he has done work on METAMATERIAL as well as FSS. This is the pen sketch drawn in an hour by Ms. K arri Sri Siddhi , III year ECE, NIT T. MS KARRI SRI SIDDHI (along with 2 more girls) was the first to draw "THE SMITH CHART" in the form of RANGOLI(ATHAPOO, KOLAM) IN THE 50 YEARS HISTORY OF R.E.C./N.I.T., TRICHY as a token of gratitude to the MICROWAVE LIFETIME ACHIEVER DR S RAGHAVAN.

VALENTINE DIAGRAM and MICROWAVE TECHNOLOGY

TECHNOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES ARE DERIVED FROM NATURE: VALENTINE DIAGRAM and MICROWAVE TECHNOLOGY VALENTINE DIAGRAM and MICROWAVE TECHNOLOGY Life will be colourful when the MATCHING between Life partners is PERFECT. Similarly the Microwave Technology which is the back bone of modern communication, space applications, and digital diagnostics of health care, Defence applications is said to work perfect if the MATCHING is good. In Microwave technology, MATCHING is referred by the term ‘Reflection coefficient’. For perfect Matching ‘Reflection coefficient’ should be ‘zero’ and ‘Transmission coefficient should be ‘one’. In general they are all called Scattering coefficients. A curve of scattering coefficients drawn on Smith Chart (tool to ease the parameter calculation) resembles the ‘Valentine diagram’. The commonality between Life and ‘Microwave technology’ as depicted by the enclosed chart (thanks to ‘Microwave 101’) is ‘MATCHING’ DR.S.RAGHAVAN SENIORMOST FACULTY IN ELECTRO...
