Remote Sensing Laboratory
The Remote Sensing Laboratory develops remote sensing technologies using radio waves to address global environmental problems and to help mitigate natural disasters.
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.
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
By generating and supplying frequency and time standards to society, we will contribute to social functions and conduct research and development to utilize extremely high-precision time and frequency standards for society. We will also conduct research and development to ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) between sophisticated communication equipment and electrical and electronic equipment and ensure EMC necessary for the safe and secure use of new wireless systems.
Director General : Yuko Hanado
We will conduct research and development to establishing technology for manufacturing diffraction optical elements by digital hologram printing and compensating the printed optical elements to further industrial applications. The institute is also responsible for promoting new budding research and development using electromagnetic waves, business development of the institute's electromagnetic wave technology, international collaboration, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
