Laboratories

The Radio Wave Research Laboratory consists of three centers and five laboratories. Each research center aims to realize Society 5.0 by conducting the following activities.

Radio Propagation Research Center

We will use electromagnetic waves to solve social issues such as disaster prevention and mitigation by conducting research and development of technologies to monitor the state of the atmosphere and land surface and analyze and predict the atmosphere and land surface using the information obtained. We will also develop advanced technologies for monitoring, predicting, and warning the space environment's current status and contribute to the regular use of radio waves in agriculture, maintenance of social infrastructure, and disaster monitoring.

Director General : Mamoru Ishii

RES
