| Abstract | We have developed a microwave closing switch (in contrast to the TR opening switches used in RADAR), that has up to 65 dB difference in transmission open vs closed. The basic concept is a coaxial line in which the center conductor is a glass tube filled with a low-pressure gas, and the outer conductor is a metal pipe. Normally, this structure corresponds to a cylindrical wave guide beyond cutoff and microwave transmission along the structure is negligible. However, when the gas in the cylindrical glass tube is ionized, it behaves as an excellent conductor, and the structure becomes a coaxial line that efficiently transmits microwaves. Applications include modulation as well as microwave switching. We have found that ordinary fluorescent lamps can be used as the central conductor. In another application of the same technology we have constructed antennas out of glass tubes filled with low-pressure gas. When the gas is ionized, we have an efficient, highly-directional receiving or transmitting antenna. When the gas de-ionizes, the structure reverts to a simple structure of glass tubes, with negligible RADAR cross-section. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
