4 Abstract of Talks Understanding Electrical Properties of Dielectrics Dr. Krishnasamy Selvan, Professor, ECEE Department, SSN College of Engineering, Chennai This talk will consider electrical properties of dielectrics, an understanding of which is important in printed antenna design. The physical principles underlying the idea of dielectric constant will be discussed. The concept of complex permittivity and loss tangentt will be considered. As to why dielectrics delay electromagnetic waves will be touched upon. Listing the types of dielectrics, the talk will briefly introduce tensors, useful in understanding anisotropic dielectrics. Speaker s biography Dr. Krishnasamy T. Selvan has been a Professor in the Department of ECE, SSN College of Engineering, India, since June From early 2005 to mid-2012, he was with the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus. From early 1988 to early 2005, Selvan was with SAMEER Centre for Electromagnetics, Chennai, India. Here he was essentially involved in antenna analysis, design, and testing. During , he was the Principal Investigator of a collaborative research programme that SAMEER had with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA. Later he was the Project Manager/Leader of some successfully completed antenna development projects. Selvan's professional interests include electromagnetics, horn antennas, printed antennas, and electromagnetic education. In these areas, he has authored or coauthored a number of journal and conferencee papers. Selvan was on the editorial boards of the International Journal of RF and Microwave Computer-Aided Engineering and the International Journal on Antennas and Propagation. He has been a reviewer for major journals including the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation. He was Technical Programme Committee co-chair for the IEEE Applied Electromagnetics Conference held in Kolkata in December 2011, and Student Paper Contest co- chair for IEEE AEMC 2013 held in Bhubaneswar. He was the publications Chair for the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and RF Symposium (IMaRC) held in Bangalore in December He co-organized sessions on EM/microwave education during IMaRC 2014 and International Symposiumm on Antennas and Propagation, Kochi, Selvan founded the Madras Chapter of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) in 2013, and has been the Chapter Chair since then. Selvan is a member of the Education Committee of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society.

Planar Antennas Dr.S.Raghavan, Professor, ECE Department, NIT-Trichy Planar Antenna which has the advantages of low profile, compatibility with integrated circuit technology and conformability is the solution for the requirements of many applications. Planar antennas find usage in military applications such as aircraft, missiles, rockets, commercial areas such as mobile satellite communications, the Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) system, global position system (GPS), Health care, remote sensing etc. The back bone of planar antennas is planar transmission lines. Planar transmission lines include Stripline, Microstrip, Slot line, coplanar waveguide, coplanar strips, Fin line and Substrate Integrated Waveguide. The lecture topic includes the essentials of planar transmission lines, design fundamentals of planar antennas and the transmission line analysis approach.

Krishnaswami, Independent RF consultant, Chennai The demand for mobile communicationn and broadband services has grown rapidly in recent times. Besides adding cell sites, sectors and bandwidth the operators danced antenna configurations with their existing radio access systems to augment the capacity of their wireless networks. More and more radio architectures and antennas are developed to take advantage of diversity, MIMO and beam-forming techniques and also support multiple wireless technologies and multiple frequency bands simultaneously. Integrationn of the radio and antenna is also taking place in more cases, to minimize the site foot-print and costs. This talk focuses on the advancements, challenges and trends in base station antenna scenario. Speaker s biography Ms. Sheela M.
