150
years of Excellence

The Institute of Radiophysics and Electronics acronymed
as INRAPHEL is under the University of Calcutta. Over the last fifty years
it has established itself as one of the pioneering institutions in the
field of teaching and research pertaining to the stream of Radiophysics
and Electronics.
THE ORIGIN
INRAPHEL took birth in the wireless laboratory of the University of Calcutta.Under the leadership of Professor S.K.Mitra, it received the accreditation as a separate department in 1949. The Institute can highly boast of many achievements in the field of Radiophysics and Electronics,in this country as well as abroad.
THE ACHIEVEMENTS
CAS BuildingSince its birth,the Institute has grown in an exponential manner.The manual ionosonde fabricated at this Institute was put to use in the first ionospheric sounding in Asia,held at Calcutta.The research on microwave had already got importance which soon became a matter of great interest for the scientists when microwave background radiation was discovered in 1965. Among other early achievements that the Institute can be proud of,include, the development of vacuum tubes (types 80 & 6C5),magnetron and design of the first analog computer in India.Other than these stupendous achievements, the institute along with faculty members and research scholars can claim the credit of many indigenous achievements in the field of Electronics and Telecommunication.
The institute has been selected by the UGC in 1962-63 as a Centre of Advanced Study in Radiophysics & Electronics.The Eastern Centre for Radio Astrophysics (ECRA) and Millimetrewave Technology Group of Society for Applied Microwave Electronics Engineering & Research (SAMEER) are the major collaborators of this Institution.
The qualified and well versed faculty members have worked or undergone interactive programmes with AT & T Bell Labs (USA), University of Michigan (USA),Wales and Sheffield, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK), Kyoto University (Japan),Max Planck Institute (Germany), Philips Labs (USA), NPL, TIFR, NCRA (Pune), IUCCA (Pune), Calcutta Telephones, TISCO, etc.
