Message from the Head
Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering
Dr. G. Sreelakshmi

The field of electronics and communication engineering has major contributions to the society which we are enjoying and witnessing today. The people across the world are able to connect in no time because of fast growth in this field. This importance makes the Electronics and Communication Engineering branch to stay ever green on top of all other Engineering branches as well. This course of engineering covers the major fields of electronics like Digital Signal Processing, Embedded Systems, VLSI Technology Design, Microprocessor and Micro controllers, Microwave Engineering, RADARs, Digital Communication, Satellite Communication, and Mobile Communication apart from basic subjects.
My sincere thanks to the Management, Principal, all my faculty members and all my students for supporting me at every point to keep the department in high esteem
Visiting Professor in the Department of ECE
Prof. Dr. M. Satyanarayana
Dr.M.Satyanarayana worked for the prestigious ISRO for 34 years and has 15 years of teaching experience (partly while being in service in ISRO). He was involved in the Design and Development of various LIDAR systems and other opto-electronic systems including Ring Laser Gyroscope (RLG). Laser alignment system for launch vehicle assembly, laser based device for characterizing carbon fibers used in composites, laser based pyro ignition for launch vehicle. He had initiated the laser technology development programme in ISRO and developed successfully a high power pulsed Ruby system. The Ruby laser source was used for many application areas in the launch vehicle development area, as a part of the R&D activities carried out. He was leading the LIDAR group for remote sensing of atmosphere and air quality measurement during the period from 1975 to 2007, under various capacities including Head Atmospheric Aerosols and Lidars Division, Atmospheric Lidar Group, Project Engineer Lidar systems. Dr.Satyanarayana was the founder Project Director of the ISRO’s prestigious inter - center project on Space Borne Lidar (SBL) during 2003 to 2007.
