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 activities as follows.

Radio Propagation Research Center

We are engaged in establishing technical criteria and standards related to electromagnetic waves necessary for maintaining the infrastructure of modern society and for further development of science and technology in the two included laboratories. The Electromagnetic Compatibility Laboratory conducts research and provides public services relevant to the evaluation of electromagnetic interferences and safety between various devices and systems. The Space-Time Standards Laboratory conducts research and provides public services relevant to the generation, dissemination, and utilization of accurate time and frequency.
