4 Abstracts of talks Session 1 Introduction to antennas and antenna parameters by Dr. P.H. Rao, SAMEER CEM, This talk will cover basics of antennas, its parameters and their interpretation as a practicing engineer. The importance of antenna parameters and design methods of antennas from the realization and practical implementation point of view will also be addressed in this talk. Session 2 Recent Trends in Microstrip antenna design by Dr. P.H. Rao, SAMEER CEM, The goal of this talk is to familiarize various microstrip antenna design methodologies that are recently been proposed or used. The improvement of antenna performance by various design aspects such as meta-materials and fractals will be discussed during the talk. Types of fractals and various meta-materials that are used in antenna designs in recent years will also be discussed. Session 3 Practical Aspects in Antenna Design by Mr.Ganesh, Amphenol, The objective of this talk is to give the participants a fairly complete overview of the realization of antennas from theory to practice. The aspects that are involved to make antenna design to be practically realizable will be addressed. Further the complete cycle of antenna design from theoretical design, simulation, fabrication and testing will be explored. The participants can be able to get the overview of practical difficulties during fabrication and testing of designed antenna. Session 4 Microstrip antenna design using FEM software by Dr. Srinivasarao Inbathini and Prof. Boopalan, VIT University Design of a rectangular patch antenna at 2.4 GHz ISM band. Create a model using an FEM software, analysis of the same using the S-parameters and Radiation pattern.

5 Speaker s biographies Dr. P. H. Rao is with SAMEER- Centre for Electromagnetics, He acquired his M.S from BITS Pilani, and Ph.D from The Queen's University of Belfast U.K. Dr. Rao has more than 25 yrs of Research experience in Antennas development. After working for 2 yrs in Space Applications Centre, (ISRO) Ahmadabad, He joined SAMEER- CEM, Chennai and continuing there. During his stay at ISRO he was involved in the design and development of slotted array antennas for Space applications. At SAMEER he has been involved in various research activities like wideband Tracking and Jamming Antennas, Electronic Warfare and conformal missile antennas, Microstrip antennas, EBG's, Genetic Algorithm based array antennas, Reflect array antennas, frequency independent antennas, reconfigurable antennas, Near-field Antenna measurements, and System on Package concepts. He has developed various novel antenna structures, feeding concepts and formulated theory to generate any arbitrary polarization from combination of two circularly polarized signals. He was a visiting scholar at Georgia Tech, UAS and worked on Near-field antenna analysis and EBG configurations. He is a visiting scholar at Georgia Tech, Atlanta, USA and collaborates on Electromagnetic Band Gap structures for Signal/Power integrity applications. He steers a computational EM cell, a joint collaborative project by IISc-SAMEER to analyze complex electromagnetic problems like antennas on ship, satellite, aircraft etc. He has published around 80 papers in IEEE and IEE journals and conferences and presented papers in various national and international conferences. His paper on wideband EBG was awarded IEEE Best paper award at INCEMIC He delivered keynote addresses at various International and National conferences and symposia. He conducted workshops on various topics including antennas, Electromagnetics, and communications. He is a senior member of IEEE and vice chair of IEEE-AP Chennai chapter. He is a reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, AP-magazine, IEEE Antennas wave propagation letters, IEEE EMC Transactions, IEEE MWCL, International Journal of Antennas and propagation and for various International conferences and symposia. He is listed in Who's Who in the world 2000 edition. Mr. Ganesh Balasubramanian is Deputy Director of Engineering - APAC Amphenol Antenna Solutions India, located at Maraimalai Nagar, Tamil Nadu, and is heading its R & D Division.
