Profile After working at NTT Laboratories for many years, Prof. T. Shibata moved to the Tokyo City University and is engaged in research and education in the field of information and communication engineering. His area of expertise is the design of high-speed and high-frequency integrated circuits. He has a deep knowledge of electromagnetic field analysis and has been deeply involved in the design and development of silicon and III-V compound integrated circuits for communication front ends. After moving to university, he became interested in sensor network applications utilizing IoT and AI, and has been working on the development of solutions for solving social issues in the era of declining birthrate and aging population. Research interests span both hardware and software technologies. He has been a member of the Institute for Future City Studies in the university and was involved in the private university research branding project “City research by Tokyo City University” from 2016 to 2020.

Research Field(Keyword & Summary)
  1. (1) Microwave circuits and applied systems

    We are conducting research on design technology for microwave and millimeter-wave components for mobile wireless systems of 5G and beyound. We are studying metaheuristic design methods such as the use of swarm intelligence to design filters and power amplifiers. We are also interested in applying these optimization techniques to the underground cavity estimation system that utilizes the backscattering response of radio waves.

  2. (2) Sensor network for smart cities

    We are conducting research on sensor networks and data utilization technologies that collect information on the movement of people and the surrounding environment for the purpose of providing living support and increasing the efficiency of social activities. Recently, we are developing an elderly watching system that monitors RSSI from wearable sensors worn by elderly people at multiple positions indoors and uses machine learning to estimate their positions. On the other hand, wireless power transfer is also being tackled with the prospect of maintaining a huge number of sensor nodes in the future.
