Facilities & Assets
The department has facilities adequate to meet the needs of the MSc Electronics Science course run by it. The following are the major facilities available for the students and research scholars
Circuit Lab
This is primarily meant for performing experiments which are of basic in nature to fulfill the requirements of the course. Primary instruments are CRO's (Cathode Ray Oscilloscope- dual trace in MHz range), Function Generators, Multimeters, IC Testers etc and all other associated components as per requirement. The circuit lab is used by students of all the four semesters as per slots provided by the daily routine. However, to complete the project works within the stipulated time, fourth semester students are provided extra time and space as per requirements.
Computational Lab
The lab has been developed using financial assistance received under FIST Programme of the DST, Govt. of India in 2000-01. The lab contains P3 and P-4 based PCs using Windows XP to provide facilities to students to work with Matlab, Multisim, PC Trace etc. Computational sessions for C/C++, Matlab and PSpice programming are arranged for students of each semester as required by the syllabus. This AC lab can accommodate over twenty users at a time. The computational lab has a 512 Kbps Internet connection which has also been extended to every part of the department through a high speed LAN.
Opto-Electronics Lab
The lab is meant for project works as well as research works. This sophisticated lab has facilities which are currently housing a study on temperature and displacement sensors using optical fibers under a faculty member of the department.
Instrumentation & Control Lab
This is a research oriented lab. Some web-based experiments are currently going on in this lab.
Microwave Lab
The department also has a microwave lab with all the necessary instruments to perform experiments sufficient to meets the requirements of the course on microwave and special papers attached with it.
Microprocessor lab
The department has sufficient number of microprocessor training kits and associated serial cards to perform experiments as per syllabus and requirements of project works. The department also uses its computational resources to conduct computer-based microprocessor practical sessions using simulators.
DSP Lab
The department uses its computational lab to perform experiments as per the requirements of the special papers on Digital Signal Processing.
Departmental Library
The department has a well stocked and periodically updated library which caters to the needs of the students. There is sufficient space for the students to spend their time reading in the department. The library also includes a Book Bank where from sufficient numbers of books are issued to each student of the department for the entire semester. Books are also available in the central library of the university.
