In the morning:
Usually we use Nishitetsu bus ( the main
company for train and bus) in Kyushu area .
Because the prices of transportation is very
high (we use student card) it is more cheap
and convenient and you can go anywherearound Fukuoka.
Prayer time
We pray Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha in
the Campus
Lunch time
We take lunch in campus (the campus has abig restaurant ) but we usually prepare ourfood in home and bring it in lunch box
because most of food in restaurant are NOT
HALAL.

Radio‐Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) & Microwave
Communication Devices Laboratory
In summary, we are now focusing our research on the followingareas:(1) High speed, high linearity and low noise system LSI
components for wireless communications systems,(2) Wideband RF front-end components for ultra-wideband (UWB)
applications,(3) Digital Radio or DIGITAL RF Processor and its systemcomponents i.e. Digital-ASSISTATED RF/Analog circuits such as
ADPLL (All-digital phase locked loop), DCO (digitally-controlledoscillators), sampling mixers, digital controlled PA, LNA etc. for
Software defined radio or other reconfigurable applications.
(4) Electrically small antennas for narrow band and UWBapplications,(5) Interconnection technology of a chip to an antenna .
