The lab measures how radio waves propagate and develops wireless communication technologies.
AboutAbout the lab
Measuring radio wave propagation, toward new wireless communications.
The Takada Lab studies how radio waves propagate (radio wave propagation) in a wide range of wireless systems.
Wireless communication technologies, such as mobile phones and sensors, have become inseparable from everyday life.
The lab investigates radio wave propagation and antennas for wideband wireless and mobile communications, and also develops the instruments used to measure radio waves.
Through measurement, the lab aims to develop innovative wireless communication technologies.
Key terms
- Radio wave propagation
- How radio waves travel from a transmitter to a receiver, and how their strength changes along the way
- Wideband wireless
- Wireless communication that uses a wide frequency range so that large amounts of information can be sent at once
- Mobile communications
- Communication by radio waves while on the move, as with mobile phones

ResearchResearch themes
To support wireless communications that are indispensable in everyday life, such as mobile phones and sensors, the lab studies radio wave propagation and antennas for wideband wireless and mobile communications. By developing radio wave measurement instruments and conducting radio wave measurements, the lab aims to develop innovative wireless communication technologies.
*Illustrative imageMeasuring and Modeling Radio Wave Propagation
The lab measures how radio waves propagate in a variety of places and frequency bands, such as indoor halls, urban areas, subway tunnels, and outdoor farmland. It also uses computer simulations and builds propagation models.
*Illustrative imageSensing Human Movement with Radio Waves
Using measurement data from off-the-shelf Wi-Fi devices together with electromagnetic field simulations of the human body, the lab studies how to recognize human motions and gestures from radio waves.
*Illustrative imageIndoor and Outdoor Positioning with Radio Waves
The lab also applies radio wave technology to estimating positions indoors and outdoors. It builds prototypes using a small computer (Raspberry Pi) and dedicated devices developed by a corporate joint research partner.
