ICT R & D
Pakistan has witnessed a phenomenal growth in its telecom industry. The government of Pakistan has mandated that a certain percentage of gross revenue generated by all telecom service providers be allocated to development and research of information and communication technologies with the vision to transform Pakistans economy into a knowledge based economy by promoting efficient, sustainable and effective ICT initiatives through synergic development of industrial and academic resources. To achieve this vision National ICT R&D Fund has been created.

Final Year Project

MILLIMETER WAVE ANTENNA DESIGN FOR IMAGING APPLICATIONS

Passive Radiometry
Passive millimeter wave (PMMW) imaging is method of capturing naturally radiating objects specially the objects that radiate millimeter waves. An image is formed through these captured waves. This technique of forming images was useful for a long, but now the new sensor technology specifically in millimeter wave range is very significant because it can generate PMMW imaging as video. It is a very interesting fact that PMMW imaging can form images in certain conditions in which regular optical and other types of imaging face problems. For example the PMMW imaging can be availed to capture images by day or night, in low light or poor visibility conditions, in drastic weather such as haze, smog, fog, clouds or sand storms and even

Applications
PMMW can be beneficial for civilian operations e.g.
It can be helpful in the landing of air crafts in

foggy conditions Operating air ports in foggy conditions, harbor and sea surveillance It can be used for traffic monitoring in foggy conditions Screening weapons and other objectionable items in airports and in other security systems

Similarly PMMW imaging has a wide number of military applications such as Precision targeting Navigating Assisting in landing of military aircrafts Refueling of aircrafts in clouds in search and rescue missions Metal detection navigation of ships and submarines Surveillance in fog

Imaging principle
For the generation of radiometric temperature image of a scene, a few following factor are important
Radiation Emissions from Constituents Reflection of Down-welling Sky Radiation Up-welling Atmospheric Emissions Between

Observer & the Scene Propagation of EM Energy from the Scene to the Observer

PMMW Imaging
All imaging based systems are based on the

principal of capturing the radiations of specific frequency spectrums and recording them in a form of images. The cameras capture visible light frequency spectrum; IR imaging devices capture IR frequency range; similarly, PMMW imaging antenna based systems, capture millimeter waves frequencies. In above section all PMMW imaging technologies discussed.

GAT (Graduate Assessment Test)

GAT (Graduate Assessment Test)

GAT General GAT General is for Admissions in MS/M.Phil and HEC scholarship schemes. Candidates with a minimum of sixteen years of education are eligible to appear in the test. GAT Subject GAT Subject is for Admissions in Ph.D. program Candidates with a minimum of eighteen years of education are eligible to appear in the test.

GAT General

NTS is an internationally recognized testing and assessment organization facilitating in producing educated and market competitive human resource. Among various tests GAT General Test is one of them. In this lecture we are letting people know about the GAT General Test and providing them guide to prepare for their GAT General Test.

Eligibility Criteria
A candidate appearing for GAT General Test must

have minimum of 16 years of Education. Candidate intending to improve their previous GAT score can also apply. The candidates will have to qualify other specified criteria of the Universities / HEC schemes for admission. 2 years validity Improving GAT score does not effect previous GAT score that remains Valid for 2 years

Comprehension Reading
Reading Comprehension part is used to test your

understanding of the contents and ideas in a passage and answer question on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage. You must read the passage carefully first so that you can identify the main idea of the passage , author's tone and attitude as well as the organization of the passage. One passage having 3,4 questions.

Basic Questions
The questions are about information that is stated

or implied in the passage and about some of the specific words in the passages. Because many English words have more than one meaning, it is important to remember that these questions concern the meaning of a word or phrase within the context of the passage. Read the question first and then find answer from given passage

Supporting Idea
Inference Authors Tone Passage Structure Logical Structure Application

Tips for Answering

Break the Passage into 3,4 Lines

See the relation between the Lines and given

information Use the Elimination Technique to give appropriate answer First read the question then find the answer from passage Determining Important words Creating mental images with back ground knowledge Synthesizing Information

Analogies
Analogies mainly depend on Vocabulary.

you have to recognize the relation between the

pair of words. 5 to 10 Questions
