Now updated into 2009!
(At least for organizations that have updated their event web sites
into 2009... not everyone is on the ball like us!) Microwave events
are given in chronological order below.
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
12-22, 2009
This conference runs concurrently
with two workshops.
Wireless
Week - San Diego, California
Power
Amplifier Symposium - San Diego, California
Silicon
Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems (SiRF) - San Diego
California
IEEE International Solid
State Circuits Conference, February 8-12, 2009
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 10-12, 2009
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,
2009
Possibly the coolest symposium
for defense types, the Government Microcircuit Applications and
Critical Technologies Conference audience is restricted to U.S.
citizens only. For 2009 it will be held near Disney World, which
is about the last place we'd ever hold a conference but no one asked
us...
Gomac
Tech 2009 - Orlando, Florida
ARMMS Microwave conference,
April 7-8, November 24-15, 2008
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
2008
IEEE RFID 2009, April
28-18
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 2009, May 18-21
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 - Tampa, Florida
Sarnoff Symposium, March 30-April
1, 2009
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 26-30, 2008
Conference details have not been
updated for 2009...Held in 2008 at the Sheraton Golf Parco dei Medici
in Rome, Italy!
IEEE
RadarCon 2008 - Rome, Italy
IEEE MTT-S International Microwave
Symposium, June 7-12, 2009
This is the biggest annual meeting
by far of microwave types, it runs concurrently with their RFIC
Symposium. This year it's in Atlanta.
IEE
IMS 2009 - Boston Massachusetts
Click here to go to the Microwaves101
page on the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technique Society (MTT-S).
IEEE Antennas and Propagation
Symposium, July 1-5, 2009
The IEEE antenna and propagation
society is also meeting in San Diego this year.
IEEE
AP-S - Charleston, South Carolina
RFID World, October 12-15, 2008
RFID World holds their conference
this year at the in Dallas.
RFID
World - Dallas, Texas
European Microwave Week, September
28-October 2, 2009
As always, the best boondoggle
on this page would be to go to EuMW2009. This is actually four conferences
on different microwave topics, including wireless, radar, and integrated
circuits
European
Microwave Week 2009 - Rome, Italy
IEEE CSIC Symposium, October
12-15, 2008
Conference details not
updated for 2009... 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 19-22, 2008
Conference details not
updated for 2009... 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 - Reno, Nevada
International Microelectronics
and Packaging Society, November 2-6, 2008
Conference details not updated
for 2009... the IMAPS conference is a good bet if you're looking
for ideas for next-generation packaging of microwave hardware.
IMAPS
2008 - Providence, Rhode Island
IEEE International Electron
Device Meeting, December 15-17, 2008
Conference details not updated
for 2009...The IEEE IEDM will be held in San Francisco in 2008.
IEDM
2008 - San Francisco, California
Asia Pacific Microwave Conference,
December 16-20, 2008
Conference details not
updated for 2009...You'd
be surprised at the stuff you can learn at this conference, even
if you only speak English! This year it will have two venues!
