Research

We are conducting research on wireless technology using electromagnetic waves. In particular, we are exploring originality in numerical simulation techniques for electromagnetic waves and their application to wireless power transfer and body-centric wireless communications.

Theme1：Analysis and Design Techniques for Wireless Power Transfer Systems

Overview

Wireless Power Transfer System and Its Circuit Model

Wireless power transfer systems are expected to be applied to the charging of mobile devices and electric vehicles. To design systems with high efficiency, it is common to represent the couplers (coils or electrodes) between transmitting and receiving devices as circuit elements such as inductors or capacitors. However, such simplistic models do not tell us about the effects of the coupler radiating radio waves like an antenna, or the effects of the proximity of dielectric or magnetic materials, or water or the human body to the coupler. In this theme, a novel numerical electromagnetic field analysis method has been developed to consider these effects from the desk top design stage of the system, and this method is used for highly accurate circuit modeling.

Theme2：Analysis and Measurement Techniques for Body-Centric Wireless Communications

Overview

Experimental Scene with a Pseudo-Noise Source

Systems that establish communication when the wearer touches a ticket gate or floor mat while wearing a wearable communication device have been developed by domestic manufacturers. However, such systems are vulnerable to electromagnetic noise emitted by other electronic devices. In this theme, we are researching analysis and measurement techniques to design systems that are resistant to electromagnetic noise.
