President of Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers –India (2012-2014)

Dr. Pal joined Indian Space Research Organisation in 1971, after a brief tenure at Tata Institute of

Fundamental Research. Dr Pal pioneered the Microwave, Antenna & RF communication activities at

the ISRO Satellite Centre at its inception. He was responsible for development of all Indian Satellite onboard

Telecommunication Systems, starting from Aryabhat to IRS, INSAT, GSAT, Low Earth Orbit series of

spacecrafts and Chandrayan. The team created by him worked for MARS-Orbiter Mission (Communication

System). He is also responsible for pioneering satellite based navigation activities in India. He spear headed

the Indian Satellite Based Wide Area Augmentation System - GAGAN (GPS Aided Geo Augmented

Navigation System) from infancy to blossom an Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System

(IRNSS) for aviation activities for civilian & restricted users. GAGAN SYSTEM is operational after

certification by DGCA for civil aviation. IRNSS four satellite are in orbit). He is the originator of Satellite

Navigation Programme in India. These two programme initiated by him, have huge technological impact and

Tables: Tables should supplement and should not duplicate the information contained in the text. Tables should be explicitly referred to in the text in numerical order with brief titles. Column headings should be brief, bold and the units of measurement should be placed below the headings in parentheses. All Tables should be available with captions. Illustrations: All figures (charts, diagrams, line drawings, and photographic images) should be of good quality. Make sure all necessary files have been uploaded/attached. All figure captions are available. Illustrations should be numbered in order of their occurrence in the text with Indo-Arabic numerals and should have short descriptive captions. Lettering should be in capital only and large enough to be legible after a reduction of 50-60 per cent. Scanned/xeroxed images reproduced poorly need not be included. Illustrations taken from other publications must be acknowledged. It is the author’s responsibility to obtain permission for reprinting such illustrations in DIAT Journal. The preferred format is encapsulated postscript (.eps) for line figures and .tif for halftone figures with minimum resolution of 300 dpi (dots per inch). Colour should be used only where absolutely necessary for understanding of the figure. Colour should not be used for distinguishing data in line diagrams. Maximum 8 Figures should be included. All Figures should be available with captions. Symbols/Units: Non-standard abbreviations should be shown in brackets where these are first mentioned, and these abbreviations should be used whenever the same terms appear again in the text and should not be used in the title and the abstract. Usage of metric units is preferred. Nomenclature: The nomenclature of mathematical symbols and signs used in the text should be given immediately after the keywords. Authors can follow any of the standard units and symbols developed by international agencies in their fields for this purpose. Special Items: When chemical/mathematical equations are used in papers, these should be legible. The symbols, not covered in nomenclature (or when nomenclature is not given), should be explained immediately after their first usage in the text. Equations should be consecutively numbered in whole numbers in parentheses (for example, (2), (15), (19), etc.) at the right margin. Reference to the equations in the text should be abbreviated as Eqn (1), Eqns (5-7), etc. Complex structural formulae of chemical compounds should be prepared as illustrations. Capital, lower case and Greek letters should be distinguished clearly. Letters which are sometimes confused for one another (for example, O & 0; l & 1; V, v & n; r & p; X, x & c; K, k & k; E & e; etc.) should clearly be distinguished. When a Greek letter is used, it should be spelt out in the margin where it is first used. Proofs: Final proofs of the papers will be sent for correction within three working days to the authors for clearance before sending the issue for printing. Papers which do not conform to these guidelines will not be accepted for publication in the DIAT Journal

Complete and correct punctuation (full stops at the end of sentences, proper use of commas, semicolons, etc...).

Spelling inconsistencies of the same word within the article.

Consistency in the use of units of measurement.

Avoid inconsistencies in active form (Ram threw the flower) and passive form (the flower was thrown by Ram).

Be mindful of the rules and structure for switching between first and third person (switching from using the „I‟ form to using the „he, she, you or they‟ forms).

Ensure proper use of metaphors and figures of speech.
