Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar

After independence, development of the rural sector was considered the primary concern of the Government of India. In 1949, with the appointment of the Radhakrishnan University Education Commission, imparting of agricultural education through the setting up of rural universities became the focal point. Later, in 1954 an Indo-American team led by Dr. K.R. Damle, the Vice-President of ICAR, was constituted that arrived at the idea of establishing a Rural University on the land-grant pattern of USA. As a consequence a contract between the Government of India, the Technical Cooperation Mission and some land-grant universities of USA, was signed to promote agricultural education in the country. The US universities included the universities of Tennessee, the Ohio State University, the Kansas State University, The University of Illinois, the Pennsylvania State University and the University of Missouri. The task of assisting Uttar Pradesh in establishing an agricultural university was assigned to the University of Illinois which signed a contract in 1959 to establish an agricultural University in the State. Dean, H.W. Hannah, of the University of Illinois prepared a blueprint for a Rural University to be set up at the Tarai State Farm in the district Nainital, UP. In the initial stage the University of Illinois also offered the services of its scientists and teachers. Thus, in 1960, the first agricultural university of India, UP Agricultural University, came into being by an Act of legislation, UP Act XI-V of 1958. The Act was later amended under UP Universities Re-enactment and Amendment Act 1972 and the University was rechristened as Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology keeping in view the contributions of Pt. Govind Ballabh Pant, the then Chief Minister of UP. The University was dedicated to the Nation by the first Prime Minister of India Pt Jawaharlal Nehru on 17 November 1960. The G.B. Pant University is a symbol of successful partnership between India and the United States. The establishment of this university brought about a revolution in agricultural education, research and extension. It paved the way for setting up of 31 other agricultural universities in the country.

    Design of high frequency quadrature output ring oscillator in 0.18 µm CMOS process
    (G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar - 263145 (Uttarakhand), 2017-07) Bohra, Meenu; Tomar, Abhishek
    Oscillation frequency, frequency tuning, phase noise and power dissipation are the important parameters in designing any ring VCO with the contemporary sub-micron technologies. The oscillation frequency, frequency tuning, phase noise and power dissipation are still not up to the mark so that ring oscillator can be used in RF application. Various designs had been developed by using effective topologies for reducing power dissipation and phase noise and improving oscillation frequency and frequency tuning. In this thesis, a novel design of ring VCO has been proposed and implemented in TSMC 0.18 µm CMOS technology. The proposed novel design is compared with the earlier proposed designs in 0.18 µm CMOS technology for oscillation frequency, frequency tuning, phase noise and power dissipation. The simulation is done using Cadence EDA tool. The simulated results shows phase noise of the proposed ring VCO equal to -102.9 dBc/Hz at a frequency offset of 1 MHz from a center frequency of 2.61 GHz. The measured power dissipation of the circuit is 25.27 mW. The tuning range of the proposed ring VCO is from 2.61 GHz to 0.2 GHz for a tuning voltage from 0 V to 1.2 V. The layout is drawn and post layout simulation is done which verifies the pre layout results.
