About
Masanobu Hirose is a leading researcher in the field of antenna metrology and photonic-assisted measurement systems. His primary contributions center on the development of advanced optical-fiber link technologies for near-field antenna characterization, addressing critical challenges in high-frequency and multi-probe testing environments. In his most cited work, Hirose pioneered a multi-probe near-field antenna measurement system that integrates an optical-fiber link architecture. This system uniquely employs a superluminescent diode, zero-biased optical reflection-type electro-absorptive modulators (EAMs), and coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) to enable simultaneous, high-fidelity signal transmission from multiple probes. By eliminating the need for external bias in the EAMs, his design significantly reduces system complexity and power consumption while maintaining measurement accuracy. This innovation is particularly impactful for testing phased-array antennas and 5G/6G communication devices, where precise, non-invasive field mapping is essential. With 3 citations, this work has established a foundation for next-generation, low-interference antenna measurement platforms. Hirose’s achievements underscore his role in bridging photonics and antenna engineering, offering practical solutions for high-speed, high-density testing systems.
