Microwave events are given in
chronological order below. We update this page once or twice a year,
so our apologies if the data are slightly out of date...
ATTENTION EVENT ORGANIZERS!
If you are organizing an event that is relevant to microwave
engineers, send us a note and we'll add it to this calendar. Send
us a hundred bucks cash and we'll add it in bold letters!
IEEE Wireless Week, January
16-20, 2011
This conference runs concurrently
with two workshops.
Wireless
Week - Phoenix, Arizona
Power
Amplifier Symposium - San Diego, California
Silicon
Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems (SiRF) - San Diego
California
(the 2011 SIRF website is not
up yet...)
IEEE International Solid
State Circuits Conference, February 20-24, 2011
From their web site:
The International Solid-State
Circuits Conference is the foremost forum for presentation of
advances in solid-state circuits and systems-on-a-chip. The Conference
offers a unique opportunity for engineers working at the cutting
edge of IC design and use to maintain technical currency, and
to network with leading experts.
IEEE
ISSCC - San Francisco California
IMAPS packaging conference,
March 8-11, 2010
This is the fifth year of the
IMSPS device packaging conference. It's held at a resort in Arizona,
bring your golf shoes and "go green" and rent some sticks.
If you're on government per diem, you'll be purchasing your own
meals! The "M" in IMAPS should stand for "marketing",
this is not an IEEE-type event.
IMAPS
Device Packaging Conference - Phoenix, Arizona
GomacTech 2009, March 16-19,
2010
Possibly the coolest symposium
for defense types, the Government Microcircuit Applications and
Critical Technologies Conference audience is restricted to U.S.
citizens only. For 2010 it will be held in Reno Nevada.
Gomac
Tech 2010 - Reno Nevada
ARMMS Microwave conference,
April 19-20, November 22-23, 2010
Conference details have not been
updated for 2009... the Automated RF and Microwave Measurement Society
has a conference twice a year in the U.K., once in April and once
in November. Approximately 15 papers are presented over a two-day
period. ARMMS provides past papers on their web site for downloading.
From their web site:
The original aims of the
society have expanded over the years as instrumentation has become
more automated and we now cover diverse topics in Radio and Radar
design and test, metrology, medical, materials testing etc.
ARMMS
April 2010
ARMMS
November 2010
IEEE RFID 2010, April
14-15
The IEEE International Conference
on RFID is dedicated to addressing the technical and policy challenges
in the areas of radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies,
their supporting large-scale distributed information systems, and
their applications.
IEEE
International Conference on RFID - Orlando, Florida
CS MANTECH 2010, May 17-20
Here's their mission statement
(we copied from their website!)
GaAs MANTecH is a not-for-profit
organization whose focus is to provide a forum for members of
the compound semiconductor community to exchange and discuss new
ideas to better serve the public in general.
CS MANTECH, meaning compound
semi, was once called GaAs MANTECH, which is the name used in their
web site. This organization posts their material on line for free
downloading, unlike the IEEE, so you can learn what your competitors
are bragging about.
CS
MANTECH - Portland, Oregon
Sarnoff Symposium, April 12-14,
2010
The IEEE Sarnoff Symposium has
been around since 1978, presenting information on the latest developments
in communication systems, microwave technology and multimedia applications.
Equally important, it's held at the historic Nassau Inn in Princeton,
NJ - a beautiful venue, particularly in the spring.
Sarnoff
Symposium - Princeton, New Jersey
IEEE RadarCon, May 10-14, 2010
This international conference
is held in Washington DC this year.
IEEE
RadarCon 2010 - Washington DC
IEEE MTT-S International Microwave
Symposium, May 23-28, 2010
IMS is the biggest annual meeting
by far of microwave types, it runs concurrently with IEEE's RFIC
Symposium. This year these conferences are in California, near Disney
Land.
IEE
IMS 2010 - Anaheim, California

page on the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technique Society (MTT-S).
IEEE Antennas and Propagation
Symposium, July 11-17, 2010
The IEEE antenna and propagation
society is meeting Toronto, Canada this year.
IEEE
AP-S - Toronto, Canada
RFID World, October 12-15, 2008
RFID World held their conference
in 2008 in Dallas.
RFID
World - Dallas, Texas
European Microwave Week, September
26-October 1, 2010
As always, the best boondoggle
on this page would be to go to EuMW2010. This is actually four conferences
on different microwave topics, including wireless, radar, and integrated
circuits.
European
Microwave Week 2010 - Paris France
IEEE CSIC Symposium, October
3-6, 2010
The
Compound Semiconductor IC symposium used to be called the GaAs IC
Symposium, but we all know that GaAs is not the only compound semi
out there. So renaming it the "sea-sick" symposium is
a big improvement, right? This conference is truly for semiconductor
nerds only (we mean that in a good way, Nick!) This conference seems
to be dwindling in attendance, once it starts to lose money we expect
the IEEE to kill it off.
IEEE
CS - Monterey, California
Association of Old Crows Convention,
October 3-6, 2010
Old Crows
are a group of people that are interested in electronic warfare.
They hold many conferences on different topics throughout the year,
but the main convention is in October.
AOC Convention - Atlanta, Georgia
Microwave Update 2010
Microwave Update (MUD), the nation's
most popular, amateur radio-focused microwave and millimeter wave
experimentation technical conference will be held at the Sheraton
Cerritos Hotel from October 21 through 24, 2010, in Cerritos, California.
Each year, the MUD attracts attendees
from all over the world to discuss the latest technical developments
and operating achievements in amateur experimentation on the 1,000
MHz and up frequencies.
Microwave
Update - Cerritos, California
International Microelectronics
and Packaging Society, October 31-November 4, 2010
The IMAPS conference is a good
bet if you're looking for ideas for next-generation packaging of
microwave hardware.
IMAPS
2010 - Raleigh, North Carolina
IEEE International Electron
Device Meeting, December xx-yy, 2010
Conference details not updated
for 2010...
IEDM
2010 - where?
Asia Pacific Microwave Conference,
December 7-10, 2010
You'd be surprised at the stuff
you can learn at this conference, even if you only speak English.
Note that the 2010 conference, held in Japan, starts on Pearl Harbor
Day!
APMC
2010 - Yokohama, Japan
