Electronic Communications Engineering
The Department of Electronics&CommunicationEngineering started during the academic year 2008 with the intake of 120 students. This department consists of experienced and technically excelling faculty, to impart knowledge and skills to inculcate the professional responsibilities in students and also make them play leadership role along their diverse career paths and develop capability to utilize engineering skills in industry, research centers, and national laboratories and entrepreneurship.
The primary objective of the department is to impart quality education, training and research at the undergraduate levels in various areas of Electronics and Communication Engineering with broad emphasis on design aspects of electronic systems. Here the students are given more practical exposures and innovative methodologies for the design and development in the electronics field, the sincere effort of our faculty to motivate the students has produced remarkable achievements in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.
We hold a privilege that, the laboratory infrastructure of the department is is excellent with state of art equipments and software related to the field of Engineering. The role of a library is critical in making a knowledge society. So the department functions with a library with a collection of standard books for the faculty and students to refer and enhance their knowledge. The department library collection also includes CDs in various subjects as per the academic syllabus.
The laboratory needs are catered by following laboratories well equipped with latest infrastructure.
1. Communication Lab :- The lab is fully equipped to make the students aware of analog and digital communication techniques. To explore the possibilities of further experimentation on latest digital communication technology in the communication field more and more experiments are added to match the latest developments in these fields. Software named as “COMMSIM” for simulation of various analog and digital communication systems and Spectrum analyzer for measurement of communication signals in frequency domain are also available.
2. Microwave Measurements Lab :- This laboratory is equipped with 9 microwave test benches with all necessary equipments and components, which can demonstrate fundamental aspects of microwave engineering such as generation of microwaves, its propagation through various microwave devices, enables fundamental understanding of various types of antennas through measurement of gain and radiation pattern. Experiments have been designed to demonstrate the basic fundamentals of transmission line theory such as VSWR, use of Smith chart and impedance measurements. It is planned to add the state of art experiments based on micro strip lines which will demonstrate the advancement in the field of microwave engineering.
3. Electronics Devices and Circuit Laboratory :- This lab has all basic devices and components including fabricated experimental boards and breadboards to perform experiments to understand the basics of experimental characteristic of devices, amplifiers, voltage regulators, rectifiers etc. By performing the experiments on breadboard the performance of the circuits can be tested under different operating conditions. Computer is also available to undertake simulation experiments.
4. Linear integrated Circuit Lab :- This laboratory has the infrastructure to enable the students to study various linear and non-linear circuit & applications. The lab is equipped with all necessary trainer boards. Students would have opportunity to perform experiments on bread board in down-to-earth understanding mode. Lab is also equipped with computers to undertake simulation experiments.
5. Digital Lab :- This lab is well equipped with all types of digital devices and IC’s with experimental trainer boards, majority of which are fabricated in the lab itself. This enables the students to study various aspects of digital electronics and perform the experiments for digital circuit applications and testing of their performance. Thus the students can develop their own digital circuits in the lab and test the same. Lab is also equipped with computer to undertake simulation experiments.
6. Microprocessor Lab :- It also has all the facilities to test the programs in assembly language and machine language for 8085 and 8086. The lab has about sixteen 8085 kits, three 8086 kits with various I/O cards and 8051 microntrollers.
7. Electronics System Design Lab :- This lab has all the facilities like breadboard based experimental setups and advanced design kits to design and test various electronics circuits like voltage regulators, power amplifiers, oscillators, etc. Further, circuits are designed and tested using EDA tools like PSpice, the circuit simulation software, in the computer centre. Students would have opportunity to perform experiments on breadboard in down- to-earth understanding mode. This Hardware Lab is also equipped with one computer to undertake simulation experiments.
8. Digital System Design Lab :- This lab has all the advanced softwares and hardware kits required for front end VLSI and Embedded Systems i.e. XILINX PROJECT MANAGER 8.1, MODELSIM, System Generator, ALTERA EDA Tool, ALDEC Simulator, XILINX Webpack, HDL Bencher, SPJ C-Compler/Assembler/Linker/Simulator for 8051 microcontroller family, Frontline Simulator and Programmer-B model for ATMEL and AVR Micro-controller family and EEPROM, debugger and chipscope module. This lab is well equipped with 22 Dual Core Intel processor and P-IV Computers (shareable with DSP Lab),FPGA-CPLD kits, 8096 microcontroller hardware kit, Motorola micro controller and 8051 kit. This lab has all the facilities required for research in VLSI and Embedded System domains besides project work. VLSI, DSP, Xilinx software of ISE series and VLSI CPLD trainer kits are available.
