Requirements for doing research • Zeal– Where there is will there is a way • 2. Regular reading of research journals • - Library habit • - Membership of Professional bodies • 3. Topic of research • - Scan a few issues • - Papers of interest • - In-depth studies of the papers • - Literature survey
Learning • - Copying – A child is the father of the man • - Chess Player • - Copying + Originality • Practice • Practice makes a man perfect • Read several times • Close the book after reading • Practicing • Write the abstract / summary • Do derivations • Solve some problems • Creative thinking • Can you rewrite the chapter • Can you think of alternative approach / derivation • Can you add a problem • Can you write a chapter for a book
Don’t confine to the Book Material • Read current research papers • Don’t go for research in outdated areas but do read them and get ideas.
Ask Questions? • - Why this way? • - Why this assumption? • Its effect on the result.
Reading a few initial pages of the book, you should predict logically what is next in your opinion by stretching your imagination. Z, Y parameters.

RDS circuit 2n states. Whereas maximum possible states are 2nonly. Is it not possible in the beginning to find what states exist and in which order. We developed a procedure such that it automatically gives what will be the next state.
DACs – Why two types only • - Optimize the spread and minimum • total resistance. • Types of DACs • - Weighted Resistor • - R - 2R Ladder • Why not more types? • Why not multistages?
