Research Institute of Electronic Communication
Research Institute of Electronic Communication, abbreviated RIEC, is a research institute for electronic communication affiliated with Tohoku University, Japan. It is one of the national collaborative research institute in Japan.
Outline
In 1935, the institute was established as a research institute affiliated with the Facility of Electronical Engineering of Tohoku University because the importance of electronic communication research had got higher in Japan.The pioneer research, such as the development of the Yagi–Uda antenna and divided anode-type magnetron, laid the foundation of the institute.
It comprises four research divisions with 25 subsections, three research facilities with 13 subsections and one externally sponsored research division with 1 subsection. It is one of the national collaborative research institute in Japan.
