Research Institute of Electronic Communication

Research Institute of Electronic Communication (電気通信研究所, Denki Tsūshin Kenkyūsyo), 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

On September 25, 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 (including 4 subsections allocated for visiting researchers), 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.
