Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose demonstrated in Calcutta, India, the generation, transmission and reception of electromagnetic waves at 60 GHz frequency over a distance of 23 meters through two intervening walls by ringing a bell and detonating gunpowder in 1895. He developed several components such as a spark-gap transmitter, coherer, horn antenna, dielectric lens, polarizer, and cylindrical diffraction grating.

This event will celebrate life and works of Sir J.C. Bose whose pioneering investigation of radio and microwave optics which laid the foundations of experimental science in the Indian subcontinent. IEEE named Sir J.C Bose as one of the fathers of radio sciences. This event will also celebrate ‘radio transmission’ in diverse fields.
