TRENDS IN ELECTRONICS

• CEC

2
ELECTRONICS

• ELECTRON mechanICS Electronics
• Study of behaviour of electrons under external
  applied fields.
• Deals with electron devices and their
  utilization.
• ELECTRON DEVICE - a device in which conduction
  takes place by movement of electrons.
• From Vacuum Tubes to Transistors to Ultra Large
  Scale Integration.

Applications of Electronics
4
A Few Applications

• Embedded Systems
• An embedded system is various type of computer
  system or computing device that performs a
  dedicated function and/or is designed for use
  with a specific embedded software application.
• An embedded system is not usable as a
  commercially viable substitute for
  general-purpose computers or devices.
• Software embedded in Microcontroller Chips.

5
A Few Applications

• Optical Communications

• Free Space Optics
• Light Fidelity (Li-Fi)
• Visible Light Communications
• Radio over Fiber

A Few Applications

• Radio Communications
• Information Converted to electromagnetic waves of
  radio frequencies, transmitted wireless
  retrieved by the receiver.
• Signals are electronically processed and
  transmitted/reproduced.
• Antennas/Aerials convert electromagnetic waves
  into electrical currents and vice versa.
• Includes Mobile Communications, Satellite
  Communications, Military Entertainment media
  Communications, Microwave Communications etc.
• Radio over Fiber.

8
Mobile Communications

• Wireless telecommunications can be divided into
  two broad categories mobile communications and
  fixed wireless communications.
• GSM and CDMA Technologies.
• Smart Phones.
• Long Distance Communications.
• Towards 5G

9
Satellite Communications

• LEO, MEO and GEO Satellites.
• A Satellite acts as a repeater in space.
• Satellite receives signal from an earth station
  (uplink) amplifies and transmits signal back to
  another earth station (downlink).

10
Radio Frequency Identification

• RFID stands for radio frequency identification.
  It is an automatic identification technology
  whereby digital data encoded in an RFID tag or
  smart label is captured by a reader using radio
  waves.
• RFID is similar to bar/QR code technology but
  uses radio waves to capture data from tags,
  rather than optically scanning the bar codes on a
  label. RFID does not require the tag or label to
  be seen to read its stored datathat's one of the
  key characteristics of an RFID system.

11
Radio Frequency Identification

• Makes life faster, tracks goods and pets.
• Alternative to Bar/QR Codes.
• Active RFID tags have a battery. Passive tags
  have no battery, they draw power from the reader,
  which sends out electromagnetic waves that induce
  a current in the tag's antenna. Semi-passive tags
  use a battery to run the chip's circuitry, but
  communicate by drawing power from the reader.

12
Automation

• Timer Control of Home Appliances.
• Industrial Timers and Counters.
• Remote Control of Home Appliances.
• PLC Based Process Control.
• Robot Control.
• Security Systems.
• Machine Vehicle Control/ Mechatronics.

13
Medical Electronics

• ECG, EEG, EMG, Tomography, Other Biomedical
  Equipments.
• Telemedicine related Equipments.

14
Instrumentation

• Art and Science of Measurement of Parameters.
• Multimeters, Cathode Ray Oscilloscopes, Function/
  Waveform Generators, Electronics Laboratory and
  Process Control Measurement Equipments, Space and
  Biomedical Measuring Instruments.

15
Telemetry

• Telemetry is a technology that allows the remote
  measurement and reporting of information of
  interest to the system designer or operator. The
  word is derived from Greek roots tele remote,
  and metron measure.
• Wired and Wireless.

16
Back Up and Power Generation

• Solar Power Generation.
• Power Electronics.
• Inverters and Uninterruptible Power Supplies
  (UPS), Power Controllers.

17
Entertainment Electronics

• Audio Recording Reproduction.
• Video Recording Reproduction.
• Broadcasting Storage.
• Gaming.
• Projection Equipments.
• Media Players, IPods etc.
• Dish and Cable TV.

18
Military

• To find the range and velocity of a target.
• RADAR.
• SONAR.
• LIDAR.
• Missiles and Rockets.
