During his PhD study, he discovered the spectral domain method, a technique that allows quick solutions of micro- and millimeter-wave wave guide properties and is now often implemented in electro magnetics software. Upon completion of his doctorate he remained at Illinois until 1976, when he accepted a research post at the Stanford Research Institute in Palo Alto, California.

. In 2014 the IEEE Transactions on Terahertz Science and Technology published an overview of Itoh's life that covered his childhood in postwar Japan, his early interests in electrical engineering, his journey to the United States, and the evolution of his career.1 After his death, the society created an online tribute for colleagues and friends to share their memories of him.2 Professor Itoh encouraged his students to think big and work hard, to venture out of their comfort zone, to keep up with the newest technology trends, and to appreciate both the history and the state of the art.
