Abstract: Which came earlier: ‘Electrical Engineering’ or ‘Communication Engineering’? History is ready to answer this indicating their
interesting journey which took place in parallel. But my quest focuses on a different aspect of electrical engineering, which I could resolve
recently by analyzing the dynamics of technological reforms. Some special investigations into Hertz’s experiments (1887), Bose’s device (1899),
and Marconi’s wireless experiment (1901), especially after my recent visits to Hertz’s Laboratory in Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and
Deutsches Museum in Munich have lead to clearer understanding. I will try to show the gaps between the ‘existing’ and the ‘future need’ as
was ushered by Marconi’s experiment in 1901. This helped me to answer to my quest: “Which was the key factor in transforming technology
from Electrical to Electronics?”
Speakers Biography: Debatosh Guha is HAL Chair Professor in the department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering at the Indian Institute of
Technology Kharagpur, on lien from the Institute of Radio Physics and Electronics, University of Calcutta, India. He received the B.Tech and M.Tech degrees from
the University of Calcutta in 1987 and 1989, respectively and started his career as Project Engineer in Webel Telecommunication Industries Limited. After
graduating with a PhD in microwave engineering from Calcutta University, he joined the same University as an Assistant Professor in 1994. He spent about 2
years with the Royal Military College of Canada, Kingston, Ontario as Visiting Research Professor working largely on the developments of various low profile
microwave and wireless antennas. He has researched in developing microstrips and low profile dielectric resonator antenna technologies. DGS-inspired antenna
is one of his major areas of contribution. He has published over 200 papers in top Journals and Conferences along with a Book entitled ‘Microstrip and Printed
Antennas: New Trends, Techniques and Applications’ Wiley, UK, 2011. He has developed novel antennas for a North American wireless industry, which have
been commercial product (Z1900) since 2007. Professor Guha is Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE) and National Academy of Science
Indian (NASI). He is a Senior Member of IEEE and recipient of some prestigious awards which include Raj Mittra Travel Grant Award of IEEE AP-Society, Chicago
2012; URSI Young Scientist Award, Lille, Franc1996; and Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Fund Prize, India, 1984.He is now an Associate Editor of IEEE Antennas and
Wireless Propagation Letters. He has served IEEE Kolkata Section as the Chair (2013-2014) and Vice-Chair (2011-2012). He also served IEEE AP-MTT Kolkata
Chapter as the Founding Chair (2004), Vice-Chair (2007-2009), and Chair (2010-2011). He conceptualized and initiated two flagship biennial and annual IEEE
sponsored Conferences in India: IEEE Applied Electromagnetics Conference AEMC in 2007 and IEEE Indian Antenna Week IAW in 2010, both being regarded as
highly prestigious EM and Antenna events in India. He has been instrumental in earning the credibility of both the events over last 8-9 years. He has been
associated with the organisation of many other international conferences including EUCAP 2014 as Asia Liaison, EMTS 2013, and APCAP 2012.His current
research interests include DGS for advanced antenna design, unresolved issues of microstrip antenna design, exploring unconventional modes for Dielectric
Resonator Antenna (DRA) designs, wideband and ultrawideband low profile DRAs, and high gain antennas for wireless industry.
