For Applicants

I would really like to have excellent international students come here. If you would like to apply as a graduate student, please read the instructions below.

About Entrance Exam

  • Read the research topic and publication list to make sure it is in your field of interest.
  • Read the university website carefully
    https://www.tcu.ac.jp/english/admission/graduate/
    • The academic Supervisor of this lab is Takuichi Hirano. The lab belongs to 'Integrative Science and Engineering'.
    • If you are the author of reliable (not by impact factor) journal or conference papers, such as IEEE, IEICE or IEEJ, and the quality of the work is sufficient, you can ask for possible special consideration for the entrance in this lab. In this case, please send your CV, your papers and materials that cartificate your work.
  • Scope of specialized subjects (for this lab) in the entrance examination for Master's course
    1. Trigonometric functions (product-sum formulas, etc.): \(\cos a \cos b= \frac{1}{2} \left\{ \cos (a+b) + \cos (a-b)\right\}\), etc.
      Complex functions (Euler's formula): \( e^{j x} = \cos x + j \sin x\)
    2. Constant coefficient ordinary differential equation (ODE):
      \( \frac{d^2 y}{{dx}^2} + a \frac{d y}{dx} + b y = 0\)
      It is sufficient to study only homogeneous equations.
    3. Simple Fourier transform problems:
      Fourier transform for rectangular pulse or a part of sinusoidal function.
      \( F(\omega)=\mathcal{F}[f(t)] = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(t) e^{-j \omega t} dt\)
      \( f(t) = \mathcal{F}^{-1}[F(\omega)] = \frac{1}{2 \pi} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} F(\omega) e^{j \omega t} d\omega\)
    4. Fundamentals of wireless communication circuits (Frequency conversion, BPSK, QPSK). (See details at Communication Signal Processing No.1-5) This question is related to 1 and 3.
    If you decide to take the exam, I can send you some sample of this subject.

Scholoarships if you need

If necessary, arrange for a scholarship yourself.
