Abstract
In the closing session, we will introduce the efforts being done in Kansai area as an attempt to explore new application fields of microwave technology.
As applications of microwave for other than communication and broadcasting, very unique efforts are being made in Kansai area.
They are advanced radar technology for remote sensing, application of microwave technology to medical surgery,
and application to microwave chemical reaction. This time, we will introduce our approaches to these three fields.
In radar technology, the MU-radar that observes wind in the middle and upper atmosphere using a phased array installed in Shigaraki,
and technology to observe rainfall three-dimensionally by connecting a plurality of X-band small radars in a network, will be explained.
In medical application, development of microwave forceps, and experiments of incision while performing hemostasis and practical examples of surgery,
will be introduced.
In chemical application, the effects of microwave heating in chemical reaction and examples of nonthermal effect by microwave,
and a chemical plant for mass-production using microwave heating actually built in Osaka, will be explained.
Following the closing session, award ceremony will be held and closing remarks will be given.
