History and Overview
Prof. Ikegami joined Meiji University in April 1997 and established the Communication Technology Laboratory after undertaking the development of satellite communication systems for 12 years at the Communications Research Laboratory, Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, Japan.
Wireless Communication is the technology to use when receiving or transmitting information, such as images or messages from a distance without using cable lines. Cell phone or satellite communication are good examples of wireless communication technology. To transmit information to a far distance, it is necessary to use the power of radio waves or light waves. Transmission is performed by modulation that changes the amplitude, phase and frequency of radio waves and is performed by demodulation that extracts original information from the waves.
In our laboratory, we conduct research on modulation and demodulation, communication procedures or new communication systems necessary for high-quality and high-speed communications to realize “Wireless Ubiquitous Networks” by using bandwidth effectively.
Keywords in our researches are Wireless Distributed Networks, Cognitive Radio, Ultra-wideband System, Quality of Service(QoS), Reliable Radio etc. In recent years, we have focused on Localization Systems using Ultra Wide Band(UWB) and Body Area Networks(BANs). These can be used in the fields of medical science and health care and are connected around the body with a radio.
