products and services that are of economic and strategic importance to the Country spanning the

strategic sectors of Atomic Energy, Defence, Space, Security, IT & eGovernance.

AEROSPACE

ECIL Played a pioneering role in supporting the ambitious programms of ISRO.   ECIL’s

Antenna Products Division has its lineage that dates back to 1968, when ARVI Satellite

Communication (ASCOM) group was constituted by drawing experts from various organizations

to execute the design, develop, manufacture, install, test and commission the country’s 1st

INTELSAT Class-A Earth Station Antenna at ARVI, Pune for providing the gateway for

overseas communications for the traffic originating around Mumbai region.

    ASCOM Group has designed the 97ft Earth Station Antenna  with a king post  Elevation over

Azimuth pedestal, servo system and antenna control unit.  The station was installed and

commissioned in 1968.  The Feed was imported.  The control and servo system was developed

by BARC.   After the completion of the above project, Microwave Antenna System Engineers

Group {MASEG (ISRO)} was formed to further the R&D activities on Microwave and satellite

earth station antennas for providing communication facilities in the country.

     The MASEG group got merged with ECIL in 1972, and Antenna Products Division was

formed in ECIL with the aim of taking up commercial production of Microwave and Earth

station antennas.      In 1975, ECIL delivered another 97ft Earth Station Antenna with king post

pedestal (similar to ARVI Antenna) at Lachhiwala in Dehradun for providing the International

gateway to the traffic originating from Delhi region. The expertise gained during the execution

of above two projects has firmed up the knowledge base at ECIL to take up design and

production of various types of communication antennas.      Communication antennas per se   can

broadly be classified into 3 types.    

 1. for Terrestrial Communication          a. Troposcatter antennas          b. Line of Sight (LoS ) antennas 2. for Satellite Communication          c. Ground/Earth Station Antennas

Troposcatter Antennas : 

Large Bill Board antennas focus a high power radio beam at the troposphere mid way between the transmitter and receiver. A certain portion of the signal is refracted and received at a similar antenna at the receiving station. 

 Earth Station Antennas :      

On the earth station front, ECIL continued its progress

and delivered and installed 3 Nos. of 8m earth station

antennas at Port Blair, Kavaretti and Aizwal with

indigenous design to bring the far flung areas of

Northeast into country’s telecom network.      When the

INSAT programme was initiated, ECIL developed and

delivered 2 Nos. of reflectors required for 14m

diameter Antennas for TTC application at MCF,

Hassan with control system by jointly working with BARC.  During the same period, ECIL also

successfully absorbed the limited know-how from NEC, Japan in productionising medium sized

Earth station antennas of diameter 11M, 7.5M and 4.5M.Several of these antennas were

delivered to various users like DOT, ONGC, NTPC and MCF.      

In 1987, ECIL successfully designed, developed, manufactured and

installed the 11M diameter full motion antenna for TTC application at

MCF, Hassan. The 32m diameter Wheel & Track antenna was installed

at ARVI, Pune which was executed jointly in collaboration with NEC,

Japan. During this period, ECIL acquired know-how for the indigenous

realization of a 32M Wheel & Track antenna employing the beam wave

guide feed from NEC, Japan.        A full fledged Design Center exists, where more than 30

engineers work in the Antenna design involving various disciplines of Structural, Mechanical,

Microwave and Control systems aspects.  The center is well equipped with various software like

NASTRAN, PATRAN, SIMULINK, Auto CAD, CATIA for Structural and Mechanical designs,

WASPNET for RF design etc.  to provide cost effective solutions, many pre and post processing

support routines for verifying design compliance with regard to surface accuracy, pointing error,

system performance predictions, both for structural and RF are available in the design center.

  IT & eGov

The information computing world has witnessed three ages of evolution.

The first age : 

Mainframe Computing    A computer system consist of 3 basic functions – presentation, which

manages the way users interact with the system;  application, which supports the logic of what to

do with the data and data management, which supports the storage of  information.  

The second age  :

Client Server Computing   New applications with graphics and user interfaces required

decentralized processing at the user end.  Client Server computing distributed the work required

to perform these functions among two or more computers.  A server is akin to the mainframe, in

that it coordinates activities of all clients and handles communications, but the processing is done

largely at each client’s end.

The Third age : 

Network Centric Computing We are now moving to a environment where connectivity

between computers and even other devices has pervaded computing.  The network was born out

of the C/S concept – it is now possible to connect computers of different makes and yet enable

them to work together.  The popularity of the largest network of them all, the Internet has

established Network Centric computing as the next wave in computing.

   With a totally different scenario in the country in Information Technology, at present ECIL is

focusing on applications in the following technologies :      

* 3-tier architecture

    * Web technologies

    * ERP

    * Data Warehousing and Data Mining

    * Network Security

    * e-Governance    ECIL apart from its own internal R&D efforts has also been acquiring

know-how from various R&D establishments and outsourcing R&D work to some of the

academic institutions.
