The Department of Electrical Engineering (EE) is one of the oldest departments at IIT Kanpur. It was one of the first five departments with which IIT Kanpur started in 1960. Offering a comprehensive range of programs, including B.Tech, M.Tech, dual-degree (B.Tech + M.Tech), M.S. (R), and PhD across all Electrical Engineering specializations, the department upholds a distinguished tradition in both teaching and research, acknowledged globally. Research endeavours within the department encompass fundamental exploration, sponsored projects, and consultancy initiatives, all conducted with vibrant engagement from students, faculty, and research staff.
The RF and Microwave research group within the department is hosting a three-day symposium. This group is actively involved in addressing numerous research challenges for industries, defense, and space sectors. At present, the group is actively involved in a range of areas including Microwave Antennas, Meta-materials, Filters, RF Sensors, RF Energy Harvesting, RFID, Microwave Imaging and Non-destructive Testing, Computational Electromagnetics, Microwave Passive Devices, Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC), and Millimeter & Microwave circuits.
Antennas are a very crucial part of all wireless electronic gadgets. Currently, the 5G wireless network is in the implementation stage, and it is facing various challenges in its deployment. This symposium will cover the fundamentals of 5G antennas and their implementation in the real world with lab demonstrations. Various sessions under the symposium are planned to impart state-of-the-art training to the delegates and create a skilled workforce to contribute to the national 5G mission. More details about the course are provided below.

Arrival by TRAIN: Kanpur Central Railway station is well connected to most cities in North, East and Central India. It is located on the Delhi-Kolkata train route and all major trains between these cities usually pass through Kanpur. IIT Kanpur is located at a distance of about 16 kilometers from the Kanpur Central Railway Station. It is possible to hire taxis (about Rs. 350) and auto rickshaws (about Rs.220) to IITK from the station. It takes about 40 minutes to an hour to drive from Kanpur Central railway station to IIT Kanpur. The organizers have no arrangement of pick-up/drop-off from/to Kanpur Central railway station.
Arrival by AIR: Participants coming to Kanpur by air are strongly recommended to fly into Lucknow Airport. Lucknow airport is located about 95 kms from IIT Kanpur. You can hire taxis at the airport. The typical cost will be about Rs. 1600, depending on the vehicle used. For a flat fee of Rs.1600, the organizers upon request will book a taxi for pick-up and drop-off at Lucknow airport. This fee has to be paid to the taxi driver. The taxi driver will be waiting in front of the main exit with a placard bearing your name, and will bring you to IIT campus. It takes anywhere between two and three hours to drive from the Lucknow airport to the IITK. It is not recommended to fly to Kanpur airport
