Write-up on the Event:
The School of Electronics Engineering, in association with the IEEE Antenna and Propagation Society (APS), IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society (MTTS) Student Branch Chapter, and the IEEE AP-S and MTT-S Bhubaneswar Chapter, successfully organized an expert talk titled “Frequency Tunable SIW: Advancing Technology for Multiband Applications” on 3rd February 2025. The session was delivered by Prof. Nrusingha Charan Pradhan, Assistant Professor at the Central University of Karnataka, IEEE MTT-S Young Professional, former Scientist at DRDO (ITR Chandipur), and Postdoctoral Fellow at Reykjavik University. The talk focused on Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) technology and its growing importance in multiband communication systems. Prof. Pradhan provided an in-depth explanation of frequency-tunable SIW structures, highlighting recent research advancements, design methodologies, and performance benefits over conventional waveguide technologies. He emphasized the critical role of tunable SIW components in modern microwave engineering, particularly for applications in wireless communication, radar systems, and defense technologies. In addition to technical insights, Prof. Pradhan shared his professional journey, experiences in defense research, and perspectives on social awareness and outreach through engineering innovations. The session encouraged active interaction, inspiring students and researchers to explore SIW-based research and its societal impact. The event proved to be an enriching platform for learning, innovation, and professional development.
