Chronology
According to D. M. Bose, the research activities of J. C. Bose, extending from 1894 to 1937, the year he died, can be divided into three periods.
1894-1899
1. During the first period, extending from 1894 to 1899, he produced the shortest of the then possible electro-magnetic waves (the microwaves),and extensively studied their quasi-optical properties. His researches with coherers not only led to the anticipation of semi-conductors but the effect of microwaves on the coherers led to the next important phase of his research.

2. During the second period, extending from 1899 to 1904, began with his study of the fatigue effect in metallic coherers, used for detection of electric waves, from which he went over to the study of various other inorganic systems which exhibit stress under different kinds of physical stimulation. The similarities in responses of inorganic and organic systems led to his famous and controversial generalization about the responses in the living and the non-living.

3. The third period that logically followed from the second phase led to his studies of Plant Electrophysiology and led to monumental investigations, which like most of his researches, were ahead of his time. These researches lasted till the end of his life.

Microwaves
Sir J.C. Bose had come across a book by Oliver Lodge on Hertzian waves and intuitively felt that this was an area that needed attention.
Bose made a spectacular discovery, of producing radiation of wavelength of the order of 5 mm
(called millimeter waves or microwaves, 1/130 that of Hertz’s waves).
Bose was the first to demonstrate Microwaves.Bose undertook research on what may be termed
as “Microwave Optics”.

Who Invented the Radio?
A question that is frequently asked in India is: “Who invented the radio? Or, should not J. C. Bose have received the Nobel Prize for inventing the Radio, at least jointly?” This has been discussed by Das Gupta*. Das Gupta questions the commonly held belief that Bose anticipated Marconi by two years, and provides evidence to the contrary. Kochar16 also shows that it was Bose’s intransigence towards patenting that came in the way of his being recognized as one of the inventors of wireless telegraphy. The 1909 Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded to Guglielmo Marconi (1874–1937) and C. F. Braun (1850–1918) for wireless telegraphy.

Acharya Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose was a polymath: a physicist, biologist, botanist, archaeologist, and writer of science fiction. He pioneered the investigation of radio and microwave optics, made very significant contributions to plant science, and laid the foundations of experimental science in the Indian subcontinent. He is considered the father of radio science, and is also considered the father of Bengali science fiction. He was the first from the Indian subcontinent to get a US patent, in 1904.

Tagore, the lifelong friend of Bose
Sir J.C. Bose hadan equipment fabricated to turn oxygen into ozone (by electric sparks) whichHelped Tagore’s second daughter for breathing. Tagore hadvery high regards for Abala Bose who reciprocated his feelings.
As translated by Sujata Basu Sengupta
“Across the oceans, on the western shore,Reigns the temple of the GoddessOf wealth of science.There you have journeyed, my friend,And returned richly crowned.You anointed the motherland,Modest at heart, poor and shy.
The great and the gloried Or those far off landsAssembled and acclaimedYour work in unison,The words resounding their message,Far and wide, the seas beyond.
Her eyes welled up in tears.Mother sends you the blessingsOf her jumbled heart,Through a poet of whom The world of science has never heard.Only in the inner self of yours,Will these words echo As gentle murmurs of Mother’s whispered tone.”Magnolia

Tracking RADAR
Typical tracking radars have a pencil beam to receive echoes from a single target and track the target in angle, range, and/or doppler. Its resolution cell—defined by its antenna beamwidth, transmitter pulse length (effective pulse length may be shorter with pulse compression), and/or doppler bandwidth—is usually small compared with that of a search radar and is used to exclude undesired echoes or signals from other targets, clutter, and countermeasures. Electronic beam-scanning phased array radars may track multiple targets by sequentially dwelling upon and measuring each target while excluding other echo or signal sources.

UNIQUE CAPABILITIES OF MICROWAVE REMOTE SENSING
• For some Remote Sensing Applications Microwave RemoteSensing is UNIQUE and has Stand Alone applications.
• Microwaves have capability to Penetrate clouds.• Microwaves are Independent of sun as SOURCE and so
Microwave Sensors can be used in Day as well as in Night.• Microwaves are capable of penetrating more deeply into
vegetation as compared to optical waves.• Microwaves are sensitive to the moisture content.• Microwaves are capable of penetrating into the ground
itself. The depth of penetration is function of moisturecontent in the soil.
• Microwave sensors give complementary information insome applications and supplementary information in others,to the optical and infrared sensing.
• The Combination of microwaves, visible and infraredradiation allows a study of the geometric, bulk-dielectricand molecular resonance properties of a surface.

SyntheticAperture Radar
The synthetic aperture radar also works on similarprinciple of radar but the information that the radargathers include the amplitude of the return signal aswell as the phase of the signal. this also takes theDoppler history as the radar is placed on the movingplatform .the antenna is synthesized and so the alongtrack resolution improves. Thus both the resolutions incase of synthetic aperture radar are better than that ofreal aperture radar.

Why measure Soil Moisture?• Soil Moisture helps to improve the capability of understanding and
predicting the Earth’s Environment especially for climate sensitive sectors atregional scale.
• “Significant Progress for Weather Forecasting , Climate Monitoring andExtreme Events forecasting rely on a better quantification of Soil Moisture”.
• A new data stream on soil moisture will substantially impact InternationalScience programs of Climate Variability and Predictability programs that arefocused on the fast and slow components of climate variability.
• “Recent Reviews of International Science Programs have consistentlyidentified that the observation and characterization of soil moisture is theobservation priority”.

A number of studies have been taken up for inventory, monitoring and retreat of Himalayan glaciers. Glacier inventory of Himalayas (Indus, Ganga and Brahmaputra Basins); Monitoring of snowline at the end of ablation season for estimation of glacier mass balance; Estimation of retreat of Himalayan glaciers and Snow cover monitoring in Himalayan region are some of them. Glacial inventory has been carried out for the glacial regions of Indus, Ganga and Brahmaputra Basins covered approximately in 1250 map sheets at 1:50,000 scale. Specific measurements of mapped glacier features are used as inputs for generating the glacier inventory data. The data sheet provides glacier wise details mainly related to the glacier identification in terms of number and name, glacier location in terms of coordinate details, information on the elevation, measurements of dimensions and orientation, etc.

a big plus to radar is it's ability to see through clouds; this is important for work done in tropical regions. Radar is also strongly scattered by vegetation. this system has a polar orbit, so it sees more of the earth than the earlier SIR-C mission
www.es.ucsc.edu
The outline of the oil spill can be clearly seen in this image as the darker water in the north surrounded by the yellow rectangle. The oil slick appears dark because the oil itself is dampening the surface capillary waves which results in overall reduced backscatter. The use of radar to map oil spills is a well-tested and used technique.

ObjectivesIn the broad context of planetary science, Mars represents an important transition between the outer volatile-rich, more oxidisedregions of the accretion zone of the terrestrial bodies (asteroid belt) and the inner, more refractory and less oxidised regions from which the Earth, Venus and Mercury accreted.
ESA Mars Express-MARSIS Radar-Its major goals are to characterisethe subsurface layers of sediments and possibly detect underground water or ice, to conduct large-scale altimetry mapping and provide data on the planet’s ionosphere.This is an impression of the completely deployed MARSIS experiment on board ESA's Mars Express orbiter. Its two 20-metre booms and the 7-metre booms are sprung out and locked into place.The MARSIS experiment will map the Martian sub-surface structure to a depth of a few kilometres. The instrument's 40-metre long antenna booms will send low frequency radio waves towards the planet, which will be reflected from any surface they encounter.

The Radar System functioned in three modes: Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Altimetry (ALT), and Radiometry (RAD)
In Synthetic Aperture Radar mode, the instrument transmitted several thousand long-wave, 12.6-centimetermicrowave pulses every second through the high-gain antenna, while measuring the doppler shift of each hitting the surface.
In Altimetry mode, the instrument interleaved pulses with SAR, and operating similarly with the altimetric antenna, recording information regarding the elevation of the surface on Venus.
In Radiometry mode, the high-gain antenna was used to record microwave radiothermalemissions from Venus. This data was used to characterize the surface temperature.

Mini-SAR map of the Circular Polarization Ratio (CPR) of the north pole of the Moon. Fresh, “normal” craters (red circles) show high values of CPR inside and outside their rims. This is consistent with the distribution of rocks and ejected blocks around fresh impact features, indicating that the high CPR here is surface scattering. The “anomalous” craters (green circles) have high CPR within, but not outside their rims. Their interiors are also in permanent sun shadow. These relations are consistent with the high CPR in this case being caused by water ice, which is only stable in the polar dark cold traps. We estimate over 600 million cubic meters (1 cubic meter = 1 metric ton) of water in these features.

What is Terahertz (THz)?Terahertz radiation is part of the electromagnetic spectrum lying between microwaves and the far-IR. This region has frequencies ranging from 0.1 – 10 THz and wavelengths from 3 mm to 0.03 mm. This spectral region is often referred to as the “Terahertz gap” as these frequencies fall between electronic (measurement of field with antennas) and optical (measurement of power with optical detectors) means of generation. Historically, little study of the interactions between these wavelengths and matter has been undertaken. The reason for this was the difficulty in generating and detecting terahertz.

Last but Not the Least
The law of nature is that discoveries take place in the universe when the time is ripe for that event.
Here in case of Sir J.C. Bose the year 1895 was unique year when Millimeter waves were produced in laboratory and this was done by Sir J.C. Bose that this event took place at a time when people had no idea what so ever regarding many features and applications this will provide in future. The fruits of all which was initiated by Sir J.C. Bose, the present generation is reaping the harvest!

At ICRS, the Spiritual Inspiration is from ShriRamkrishna Paramhans and the ScientificInspiration is from Sir J.C. Bose.
Sir J.C. Bose in his time, worked and neverpatented his inventions except for one USpatent which we understand was obtained bythe efforts of Swami Vivekanada.
His Best friend during his period of struggle wasGurudev Rabindranath Tagore that can beseen from the exchange of letters betweenthem and the poem written by Gurudev is thebest indicator.

The lessons one can learn from hisworks are that one can do things whichnobody at that time thinks about the same.It is the GOAL oriented work and thatshould be pursued till it is achievedirrespective of HURDELS obstruction peoplebring.
One most important aspect of the life of SirJ.C. Bose is his wife Mrs. Abala Bose whoprovided continuous support andinspiration to Sir J.C. Bose in his difficulttimes at Presidency college.

Sir J.C. Bose is scientifically a culmination andconsummation of the work done in past by IndianSeers in science. He can be considered asINCARNATION OF VISHWAKARMA who isresponsible for making gadgets(mechanical). Herethe difference is that Sir J.C. Bose made Mechanical,Electrical and Electronic gadgets which can be seenas the evolution of Technology from the days ofVishwakarma to this century in which Sir J.C. Boselived and did manifest His Intellectual excellenceand Technological deep -understanding because ofthat HE gave to the society in varied fields hisscientific knowledge which was challenged manytimes but HE continued and achieved for which HEhad AIMED.

The Microwaves have unique applications inremote sensing. Also along with optical andinfrared they provide complimentary andsupplementary information about the targets.The Remote Sensing of PLANETS also is possibleusing microwave sensors. As can be seen thehitherto unknown areas in PLANETS can beexplored by microwaves. Thus the microwaveremote sensing will play a major role inexploration of EARTH as well as PLANETS

• To find the date on which Sir J C Bose demonstratedthe wireless experiment.
• This DATE should be celebrated as RADIO DAY• The Scientists should celebrate the Birth day as Radio
day all over India and Abroad in absence ofinformation on the date of experiment it should becelebrated as RADIO DAY.
• This way we will be able to pay real TRIBUTE to Sir J CBose and younger generation will be motivated towork in the FIELD WHICH WAS INITIATED BY SIR J CBOSE
