• Author Bio:
  Satoshi Yoshida was born in Saga, Japan, in 1984. He received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Communication Engineering from Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan in 2007, 2009, and 2012, respectively. He is currently an aerospace project research associate with the ISAS, JAXA. His main research interests include microwave power transfer system for space application, rectenna and high-power amplifier, active integrated antennas, and millimeter-wave antenna systems for space communication.
  Naoki Hasegawa was born in Aichi, Japan. He received his B.E. degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Ritsumeikan University, Siga, Japan, and his M.E. degree in Electrical Engineering from Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan, in 2011 and 2013, respectively. He is a member of the Institute of Electronics, Information, and Communication Engineers (IEICE), Japan.
  Shigeo Kawasaki received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Waseda University in 1979 and 1981, respectively and Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1993. In 1990, he was the Research Assistant at The University of Texas, Austin. From 1991 to 1993, he was the Graduate Student Researcher at UCLA. Since April 1994, he has been with Tokai University, Japan as the Professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. In 1997, he was the Invited Visiting Scholar at UCLA and, in 1999, the Invited Visiting Professor at California Institute of Technology, respectively. In 2004, he temporally joined as the Adjunct Professor in University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA and joined as the Professor in the Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere, Kyoto University, Japan. From October of 2008, he has joined as the Professor in ISAS/JAXA, Sagamihara, Japan. His research activities include the microwave and millimeter-wave active integrated antenna technique, its optical control, the nonlinear active device modeling, high-power integrated circuits, an active phased array antenna, and an electromagnetic analysis for a microwave simulator
