Convened Session in EuCAP2012
The FinJap project will take a part in the 6th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2012) by managing the convened session entitled by "Future Radios for Medical and Daily Healthcare Applications". The conference will be held in Prague of Czech Republic from 26th to 30th of March 2012.
Prof. Koichi Ogawa has joined to the FinJap Project
The high benefits of FinJap Project can interest more researchers to join in this Project. Recently Prof. Koichi Ogawa from Toyama University kindly joins. His research interests include compact antennas, diversity, adaptive, and MIMO antennas for mobile communication systems, electromagnetic interaction between antennas and the human body. His research also includes millimeter-wave circuitry and other related areas of radio propagation.
About Fin-Jap 2
This project is for the Bilateral Core programme of the Academy of Finland (AF) and the Japan Society
for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) in 2010 for the development of "the future of living". More precisely, we
propose a joint research project between Aalto University, Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech),
Tokyo Denki University, and National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) in
Japan, with the subject of improving the quality of medical treatment and daily healthcare scenes using
wireless communications and networks.
Wrap-Up Seminar
The wrap-up seminar has been conducted on Monday December 13th, 2011 to end the series of project activies, and to report and evaluate the work results. The seminar was held at Tejima Sei-itchi memorial conference room (L), 3th floor, Tokyo Tech Front,Ookayama Campus, Tokyo Institute of Technology,
Fin-Jap Project I
The objective of this joint research is to develop methodologies for the design and implementation of such antenna solutions for MIMO and UWB techniques that will maximize the radio system performance. The research is divided in three main research parts:
- Antenna-to-human interaction and antenna design
- Radio channel measurement and modelling
- Overall radio system performance analysis including human body, antennas, and radio channels
