Using antennas as resonators to design circuits with fewer elements

Tamura Masaya

Professor, Department of Electrical and Electronic Information Engineering

With the exponentially increasing volume of information due to the growing demand for IoT devices, the effective utilisation of the frequency bands used for wireless communication has become a challenge.Against this backdrop, Professor Masaya Tamura has developed a radio frequency (RF) circuit that uses antennas as resonators. Professor Tamura has successfully used the innovative approach of treating antennas as resonators to significantly reduce the number of components while preventing radio interference. The inspiration for this innovation came from the concept of an “equivalent circuit”.
