Why Previous Year's Question Papers Are Essential?

Previous year question papers are essential to know the pattern of an examination. You should go through at least the last 10 years' question papers before sitting for any examination.

UGC NET Electronic Science (Code 88) Exam Overview

The UGC NET Electronics Science examination consists of two papers. Paper 1 covers General Teaching & Research Aptitude, while Paper 2 focuses specifically on Subject Code 88. To succeed, candidates must master topics such as:

  • Semiconductor Devices & IC Fabrication
  • Network Theory and Signals & Systems
  • Digital Electronics and Microprocessors (8085/8051)
  • Electromagnetics and Antennas

Using previous year question papers is the most effective way to understand the weightage of these topics.

📈 Topic-wise Weightage Analysis

Based on 2023-2024 trends, here is the approximate number of questions asked from each module:

Semiconductor Devices: 12-15 Questions
Digital & Microprocessors: 10-12 Questions
Electromagnetics (EMFT): 8-10 Questions

🎁 Bonus: UGC NET Paper 1 Resources

Don't ignore the General Aptitude paper! It carries 100 marks and is key to securing JRF.

MIMO Channel Matrix | Rank and Condition Number

MIMO / Massive MIMO MIMO Channel Matrix | Rank and Condition...   The channel matrix in wireless communication is a matrix that describes the impact of the channel on the transmitted signal. The channel matrix can be used to model the effects of the atmospheric or underwater environment on the signal, such as the absorption, reflection or scattering of the signal by surrounding objects. When addressing multi-antenna communication, the term "channel matrix" is used. Let's assume that only one TX and one RX are in communication and there's no surrounding object. Here, in our case, we can apply the proper threshold condition to a received signal and get the original transmitted signal at the RX side. However, in real-world situations, we see signal path blockage, reflections, etc.,  (NLOS paths [↗]) more frequently. The obstruction is typically caused by building walls, etc. Multi-antenna communication was introduced to address this issue. It makes diversity app...

OFDM Symbols and Subcarriers Explained

This article explains how OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols and subcarriers work. It covers modulation, mapping symbols to subcarriers, subcarrier frequency spacing, IFFT synthesis, cyclic prefix, and transmission. Step 1: Modulation First, modulate the input bitstream. For example, with 16-QAM , each group of 4 bits maps to one QAM symbol. Suppose we generate a sequence of QAM symbols: s0, s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, …, s63 Step 2: Mapping Symbols to Subcarriers Assume N sub = 8 subcarriers. Each OFDM symbol in the frequency domain contains 8 QAM symbols (one per subcarrier): Mapping (example) OFDM symbol 1 → s0, s1, s2, s3, s4, s5, s6, s7 OFDM symbol 2 → s8, s9, s10, s11, s12, s13, s14, s15 … OFDM sym...

QPSK Online Simulator (Signal Generation)

Simulator for QPSK Modulation Quadrature (4-PSK) Bitstream (Even length) Carrier Freq (Hz) Samples Per Symbol Run QPSK Simulation The Math Behind QPSK Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) is a form of digital modulation that transmits two bits per symbol by changing the phase of a carrier wave. s(t) = A cos(2πf c t + θ n ) Phase (θ n ): Each pair of bits (dibit) corresponds to a specific phase shift. In Gray coding, we use: "00" → π/4 (45°) "01" → 3π/4 (135°) "11" → 5π/4 (225°) "10" → 7π/4 (315°) Efficiency: Since 4 phases are used, QPSK carries double the data of BPSK in the same bandwidth. ...
