  • About my research
    The use of high-frequency bands, such as millimeter-wave and terahertz waves, has been considered for mobile communications. To achieve uninterrupted communication in such frequencies, antenna technology becomes more critical. As a researcher in a mobile communication carrier, I will work hard to create antennas that can effectively utilize high-frequency bands.
