  Current Activity :
  
  Engaged in the activity on “Radio channel modeling and measurements of fixed and mobile communications”. It involves studying propagation impairments over wide range of frequencies, interacting with user agencies in collecting experimental data, analyzing and explaining the observations through various models and electromagnetic codes, suggesting remedial measures to improve the performance of communication links. Future works involves channel modeling for Wimax and 3G systems over Indian conditions.
