Society for Applied Microwave Electronics Engineering and Research[1][2] (SAMEER)[3]: It is a scientific autonomous society of Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) working in high technology areas of microwaves, milli-meterwaves, RF,MRI,5G 6G, Atmospheric Radar and electromagnetics.
Organizational structure
[edit]SAMEER originated from the Special Microwave Products Unit (SMPU) established in 1977 at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai. It became autonomous in 1984 under the Department of Electronics. SAMEER operates through five specialized research centers across India, each with distinct technological focus areas :
Mumbai (Headquarters) : Focuses on medical electronics including radiation therapy equipment and MRI systems development, atmospheric radar systems, photonics, and navigational electronics. This center originated from the Special Microwave Products Unit established at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in 1977 before SAMEER's formal creation in 1984 .
Chennai : Specializes in electromagnetic compatibility (EMI/EMC) testing, antenna design, thermal management, and communication technologies including 5G and 6G research .
Kolkata : Conducts research on phased array antennas, millimeter wave components, RF subsystems, and electromagnetic theory. Established in 1994 as a dedicated center for millimeter-wave technologies
Visakhapatnam[4] : Houses specialized facilities for Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) testing, including EMP simulation and system-level hardening validation for defense applications.
Guwahati : Located within the IIT Guwahati campus, focuses on high-power microwave tube technologies, particularly magnetron development for industrial and strategic applications .
Major projects and achievements
[edit]- India's first fully indigenous MRI system development[5]
- Bhabhatron Radiotherapy Units : Developed in collaboration with BARC and commercialized through Panacea Medical Technologies, These radiotherapy systems have been deployed in several countries and are reported to have treated a significant number of patients, according to government sources.The technology received CE certification and IEC compliance recognition.
- Indigenous 5G Test Bed[6] : as part of a government initiative aimed at promoting domestic development of telecommunications infrastructure. SAMEER is actively involved in 6G research[7][8] through industry-academia partnerships.
- Microwave-Based Brix Measurement System[9] [10] : transferred to industry partners for use in non-destructive yield assessment and quality control in sugar production.
