Outline of Final Research Achievements

As a means to integrate digital fabrication technology and information scientific approach, a rapid prototyping platform for electrical circuit elements such as antenna and sensors is developed.

The platform includes an equipment that makes it possible to print electrical circuits using inkjet-printing and measure the high-frequency characteristics of the device under test repeatedly. Design methods based on the genetic programming based approach are proved to be effective and practical for applications including user interfaces, microwave energy harvesting antenna and resonance-based wireless power transmission.
