Professor Kenji Ito, Department of Electronic Information and Communication Engineering, Kanazawa Institute of Technology, was awarded the highest grade "Fellow" by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) for his outstanding achievements in the microwave circuit called Mixa. rice field.
The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) is the world's largest academic society with headquarters in the United States and more than 160 members in 40 countries around the world.It is also known as an organization that leads advanced technologies in a wide range of fields from aerospace systems, computers, telecommunications to biomedical engineering, electric power, and household electrical appliances, and formulates standards such as LAN, wireless LAN, and Ethernet. ing.
The "fellow" awarded to Professor Ito by the IEEE is a completely new theory, system, and environment that no one else in the field could or could have thought of among the regular members of the IEEE. A title that is honored to those who devised and brought about innovative changes in the field.It can be said that it is the highest grade that only a limited number of people can choose, with an upper limit of 0.1% of all regular members every year.
Professor Ito was evaluated for his research on the electronic circuit called Mixa, which connects the world of radio waves (high frequency) and the world of information (low frequency), especially for third-generation mobile phones. It was praised for the fact that it was equipped with the proposed circuit and was the first in the world to put into practical use an architecture that extracts information directly from radio waves called a direct conversion receiver.
