IIT Bombay Develops Chip Dhruva to Navigate Locations
Researchers of IIT Bombay from the Department of Electrical Engineering have created a chip named Dhruva.
To locate the exact position of the device, Dhruva sends and receives radio signals to India’s NAVIC group of navigation satellites as well as the US Global Positioning System-based Satellites.
There are nine GPS satellites under NAVIC built to make the navigation system available for commercial use.
Although India has many navigational satellites, it does not have a commercial receiver until now.
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has funded the Dhruva Project, whereas the Society for Applied Microwave Electronics Engineering and Research (SAMEER) is the nodal agency.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has also helped to make this project successful.
IIT Bombay, Department of Electrical Engineering, designed Dhruva in just 18 months.
Dhruva sends and receives the signal from NAVIC satellites that is 36,000 km above the earth’s surface.
