Faculty of Radio Engineering KPI

The history of the radio engineering faculty of the Kiev Polytechnic Institute (KPI) originates in the 20s of the 20th century, and the famous Ukrainian specialist in the field of radio engineering Vladimir Vladimirovich Ogievsky is considered the founder of its creation ^[1] .

In 1921, VV Ogievsky moved to Kiev, where he began teaching radio engineering at the Kiev Military School of Communications and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the KPI, where he organized a radio laboratory in the same year ^{[1] [2]} . The creation of a radio laboratory became the basis for the development of the radio engineering specialty, and later on - the radio engineering faculty ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]} .

In 1924, under the leadership of V. Ogievsky, the first in Ukraine and the third in the USSR broadcasting station was built ^{[2] [3] [5]} .

In the same 1924, in order to satisfy the growing interest of students and KPI employees in radio business, a radio circle was organized under the direction of V. Ogievsky within the walls of the radio laboratory ^{[1] [2] [3]} .

In 1925, the first amateur collective radio station in the USSR - R1KPI (Russia - First - Kiev - Polytechnic - Institute) ^[6] , all the transmitting and receiving equipment of which was made by members of the radio circle of V. Ogievsky ^{[2] [3]} , went on the air. Given the huge number of people wishing to engage in radio business and the authority of V. Ogievsky, amateurs were given wonderful spacious rooms in the old building of the KPI Chemical and Technological Department. Since 1926, the collective radio station KPI aired as EU-058-RU ^{[2] [3]} .

In 1928, the first two electrical engineers in radio specialties ^{[4] [5]} were graduated.

In 1929, the KPI singled out specializations in "transport communications" and "radio engineering and radio operators" ^{[4] [5]} .

In 1930, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering was separated and reorganized into the Kiev Power Engineering Institute (CEI), in which the Faculty of Radio Engineering and the Department of Radio Engineering were created (head of the department and Dean of the Faculty of Radio Engineering - V.V. Ogievsky) ^{[4] [5]} . 1930 is considered the year of birth of the radio engineering faculty of KPI.

Since 1931, a regular graduation of radio engineers began at the Faculty of Radio Engineering ^{[4] [7] [8]} .

In 1934, KEI was reorganized into the Kiev Industrial Institute (KII), where the radio engineering faculty entered only as a specialty with laboratories: general radio engineering and electro-vacuum devices, transceivers and acoustics, radio transmitters, television and power supplies.

In 1938, the radio specialty in KII was transformed into a special faculty and the department of radio transceivers was allocated from the department of radio engineering (head of department professor S.I. Tetelbaum ). Deans of the special faculty were N. A. Pravdolyubov, F. F. Shaposhnikov, L. A. Radchenko. The faculty had two departments: radio engineering (head of department. V.V. Ogievsky) and transceiver devices (head of department. S. I. Tetelbaum).

In 1941, in connection with the outbreak of the war, KII was evacuated to Tashkent and included in the Central Asian Industrial Institute. Dean of the Faculty of Radio Engineering and Head. cafe radio engineering was S. I. Tetelbaum, and since 1943, the department of radio receivers was headed by N.F. Vollerner. During this period, the faculty carried out important defense research work.

In 1944, the name of the KPI was restored and the staff of the institute returned to Kiev. In the postwar years, the Faculty of Radio Engineering (Dean Prof. V.V. Ogievsky) continues its development. The department of transceivers is divided into two: radio transmitting devices (head of the department. Professor S. I. Tetelbaum) and radio receivers (head of the department. Associate Professor N. F. Vollerner). The training of engineers in the specialty "Radio Engineering" was provided by three special departments of the Radio Engineering Faculty, and since 1956 also in the specialty "Design and Production of Radio Equipment".

In 1952, the faculty of radio engineering included the specialties “Dielectrics and Semiconductors” (head of department. N. N. Nekrasov) and “Electronic Devices” (head of department. A. I. Vishnevsky) of the disbanded Engineering Physics Department, but in 1962, the faculty of radio electronics was created on the basis of these departments. The faculty has four special departments - the theoretical foundations of radio engineering (head of department. Professor V.V. Ogievsky), radio transmitting devices (head of department. Professor V.P. Taranenko), radio receivers (head of department. Prof. N. F. Vollerner) and the Department of Mathematical Physics (Head of Department. Prof. N. S. Smogorzhevsky). In 1968, to improve the training of specialists, a department for the design and manufacture of radio equipment was created (head of the department. Associate Professor Yu. V. Mikhatsky).

To date, there are four departments at the Faculty of Radio Engineering: the theoretical foundations of radio engineering (head of the department, prof. F. F. Dubrovka); radio engineering devices and systems (head of department. prof. S. Ya. Zhuk); Department of Radio Engineering and Production of Radio Equipment (Head of Department. Prof. E. A. Nelin) and Department of Radio Reception and Signal Processing (Head of Department. Associate Professor A.V. Movchanyuk).

Large-scale research work at the faculty began after his return from evacuation to Kiev in 1944. The most significant were the work of Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR S. I. Tetelbaum , who in 1949 founded the scientific direction of high-power microwave electronics and already in 1956, for the first time in the USSR, designs of new high-power microwave electronic devices were created ^{[9] [10] [11]} .

It should be noted the original work in the field of radio communications on the creation of a radio transmission system with amplitude-phase modulation ^[12] , further developed in the work of Kahn ^[13] , as well as the fundamental work of S. I. Tetelbaum in the field of x-ray tomography ^[14] .

Since 1959, work on the creation of powerful traveling-wave amplifying lamps and fundamental theoretical research in this direction began at the RTF ^{[15] [16] [17]} .

Since the 1950s, RTF has been working on circuit theory. In 1957, Ya. K. Trokhimenko published the first Soviet work on the modern method of transistor circuit analysis ^[18] , which has been developed in many works, some of them: ^{[19] [20] [21]} .

In the same years, studies were conducted on the industrial application of high-frequency currents, antenna technology, phase metering, and ferrite thermistors ^{[22] [23]} .

In the 60s, a scientific group was organized at the faculty that developed electronic microwave devices for controlling the polarization and phase of the output signal. The development of waveguide structures for phase control, electrodynamic systems of high-power electronic microwave devices and charged particle accelerators was carried out ^[24] .

Since the 70s, solid-state electronics has been developed at RTF, methods for calculating millimeter-wave generators and amplifiers for waves on avalanche-span diodes and Gunn diodes have been developed ^[25] .

In 1989, the head of the new industry research laboratory of microwave microwave solid state electronics and radio measurement technology prof. M.E. Ilchenko, together with a group of specialists from industry institutes, were awarded the USSR State Prize in the field of science and technology for creating the foundations of the theory and introducing electronic equipment based on a new element base, in particular, dielectric resonators.

In the 90s, work on medical radio electronics began at the RTF and the corresponding medical specialization was created, training and scientific work on which is currently continuing at the departments of ASEZ, KiPRA, ROS ^[26] .

Then and to the present time, work is underway to create a new antenna technique ^{[27] [28] [29]} . A number of large modified Cassegrain antennas for earth stations of new generation satellite information systems have been developed and put into serial production, which have become the subject of Ukraine's export of high-tech products to Russia, Italy, Kazakhstan.

The faculty prepares bachelors in the specialty 172 “Telecommunications and Radio Engineering”, as well as masters and doctors of philosophy in the specialties “Radio System Engineering”, “Radio Communication and Signal Processing”, “Radio Technical Information Technologies” and “Intelligent Technologies of Microsystems of Radioelectronic Engineering”.

The faculty has a specialized academic council for the defense of candidate and doctoral dissertations in the specialty "Telecommunications and Radio Engineering" ^{[30] [31]} .

Since the mid-70s, students of the Faculty of Radio Engineering KPI them. Igor Sikorsky annually maintains the tradition of organizing the celebration of their professional holiday, “Radio Day” and the faculty’s birthday, on a grand scale ^[46] .

The format for the celebration of the event came from universities in central Europe ^[47] , but RTF students made a number of innovations and thereby made Radio Day the most anticipated holiday not only for KPI students, but also for young people throughout Kiev.

Since 2006, the event has received a wide response due to its new format: RADIO DAY OPEN-AIR Party .

Today RADIO DAY is the annual OPEN-AIR party dedicated to all employees of television, radio and communications, gathering thousands of guests and fans of dance music, which takes place in mid-May on the KPI Knowledge Square .

Having got to the pages of the country's main club portal ^[46] and becoming each time an increasingly loud and large-scale event, the party managed to make up and gain a crowd of thousands, turning into a full-blown ideological holiday that pleases the residents of the capital of Ukraine not only with loud Ukrainian names, but also nearby “Deliveries”.

Despite significant costs, students of the Polytechnic University manage to make RADIO DAY with completely free entry, and thus make a significant contribution to the development of the club culture of the country.

The popularity of the holiday is evidenced by its growing rating: in 2010 RADIO DAY took 5th place in the ranking of top events, and in 2011 - position No. 7. In 2011, more than 10,000 people attended the party ^{[46] [48] [49]} .
