Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to show three dimensional (3D) images of high frequency electromagnetic wave propagations, which are used in radio communications, etc., using the data acquired by the live electrooptic imaging (LEI) camera and/or computer simulations.
The electric vectors (the origin of the electromagnetic waves) and the electromagnetic wavefronts are successfully visualized by arrows and surface models in 3D space on a 3D display. For practical examples, the electric vectors near the strip line, propagating high frequency signals, are shown as 3D arrows and the electromagnetic wavefronts, emitted from the antenna, are shown by the surface models. These results were demonstrated at the MICROWAWE WORKSHOPS & EXHIBITION (MWE) 2014 university exhibition that was open to the general public. These demonstrations show the effectiveness of this 3D imaging approach for electromagnetic waves.
