1 REPORT ON National Workshop on Antenna Modeling using HFSS and its Applications (AMHA-2012) Introduction: The Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering of Narula Institute of Technology under the patronage of JIS group organized a two-day workshop on Antenna Modeling Using HFSS & its Applications in industrial collaboration with ANSYS on 22 nd - 23 rd June 2012, where the participants (Faculty, Research Scholar, Technical Assistant and Student) learned different design aspects of antenna modeling using HFSS software. The purpose of this workshop was to get benefit from shared knowledge about antenna, microwave filter design with the historical background. The workshop was a forum for the exchange of information on the progress of research and development in innovative antenna technology. The focus made on to acquire knowledge about applications of advanced artificial materials to the antenna design and to create concrete foundation for further implementation of Communication Devices using HFSS software by bringing together the participants and

2 industrial experts to provide a platform to acquaint & share new ideas in the field. Objectives of the workshop: The objectives in mounting this workshop are threefold: Awareness of the value and importance of effective and efficient communication by antenna. Confident and better skilled participants able and willing to commit to the development of antenna modeling and plans within their own institutions and in partnership with others, using HFSS software. Enhanced networking and collaboration among participating institutions. Inaugural Address: The program was glorified by the kind presence of Prof. (Dr.) Asit Guha, Director of JIS group; Prof. U.S. Mukherjee;Assistant Director of JIS group; Prof. (Dr.) P.K.Banerjee,Advisor of JIS group; Prof.(Dr.) J.K.Das, Principal of NIT; Dr. A.K.Mallick, Professor ECE Dept.; Dr.J.Das, Professor ECE Dept; Dr. Bhaskar Gupta, Professor, Dept. of ECE, Jadavpur University.

3 Key note address was given by Dr. Bhaskar Gupta, Professor, Dept. of ETCE, Jadavpur University on Microwave Multiplex Light wave System: A Flavor of Microwave Photonics. Plenary lecture was given by Dr. Debotosh Guha, Professor, Institute of Radio Physics and Electronics, University of Calcutta on historical background of antenna development.

4 Interactive Hands On: The Hands on session was performed in two laboratories (316C & 316G). This session was continued around 8 hours in two days. Mr. Shrinivas Bhat & Mr. Sarat C, experts from ENTUPLE Technologies lead the participants to design different model on HFSS. Its mainly focused on the following topics: 1.The rectangular Patch antenna: The objective of this model was to show, how to create, simulate and analyze a micro-strip Patch antenna at resonating frequency of 7.5 GHz. 2. Magic Tee: The example was intended to show how to create, simulate and analyze a Magic Tee, which is commonly used in microwave devices, using the Ansoft HFSS Design Environment. 3.Bandpass Filter: The model was designed to show how to create, simulate and analyze a bandpass filter at center frequency 1.50 GHz & bandwidth 1 GHz.

5 All the participants actively participated in this event, which includes the Hands on session too. They all interacted and exchanged their views with the experts, which makes the program successful.
