Industrial visit at GMRT (Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope) Khodad, Pune
E&TC department of DYPIEMR arranged Industrial visit on 12th July 2019 at GMRT(Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope) for BE students. The objective of visit was to cover content beyond syllabus for subject Radiation & Microwave Techniques & to know the practical scope of dipole Antenna. Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT), located near Pune in India, is an array of radio telescopes at metre wavelengths.
It is operated by the National Centre for Radio Astrophysics, a part of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai.A brief introduction and other information about GMRT was given to the students by faculty of GMRT consists of 30 fully gigantic parabolic dishes of 45m diameter each spread over distances of upto 25 km.
GMRT is one of the most challenging experimental programmes in basic sciences undertaken by Indian scientists and engineers. The Central Square area consists of 14 antennas with 45 meter diameter each. The remaining sixteen dishes are spread out along the 3 arms of an approximately `Y'-shaped configuration over a much larger region, with the longest interferometric baseline of about 25 km. The antennas are made using the SMART
(Stretch Mesh Attached to Rope Trusses) concept i.e light weight dishes and economical. This is due to the trusses, ropes and turn buckles used.
