Welcome to the RF, Microwave and Photonics group of Electrical Engineering Department at IIT Jodhpur.

With the rapid technological improvements in hand-held devices such as tablets and mobile phones, the requirement of faster access of wireless resources is ever increasing. The group mainly focuses on design of active and  passive components for modern transceivers. Along with research in high frequency circuit design, the group aims to improve the quality of understanding in microwave engineering through various practical as well as computer aided simulations.

Optical Techniques would be the fundamental enabler for many future technologies and applications including high-speed data communication systems and Internet of Things. The Photonics group in the department is working on exploring various device applications of multimode optical fibers. The current work is towards generating arbitrary multimode beams and highly pure Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beams in free-space. The group is also targeting the generation of orbital angular momentum beams using optical fibers, and their use in free-space optical communication systems. In addition, the group also works on security issues in the Physical layer in free-space optical networks.
