About RFTT
About RFTT

We are announcing the IEEE MTT-S RF Technology & Techniques (RFTT) Symposium to round out the IMS re-alignment for 2026. This new symposium is composed of much of the traditional IMS technical content that has included microwave passive components, packaging, active devices, discrete microwave circuits, computer-aided design, and computational EM and makes up approximately half of the IMS technical content.

RFTT will continue to focus on key topics in RF technology and techniques that includes planar, non-planar, and integrated filters and passive circuits; MEMs, acoustic, ferrite, ferroelectric, and phase-change components; heterogeneous packaging, MCMs, and 3D manufacturing; Si and III-V semiconductor device technologies; signal generation, modulators, and frequency conversion; low-noise amplifiers and receivers; power amplifiers and linearization techniques; mixed-signal circuits; quantum- engineering circuits; and sub-THz to THz circuits. This new alignment of RFTT Technical Areas the IMS material will help distinguish from the integrated design approaches of RFIC and the systems and applications of RFSA.

The symposium will continue to feature the technical sessions, an interactive forum, workshops, panels, and plenary sessions that you have come to expect. We invite researchers and industry professionals to contribute their latest findings and insights to RFTT2026. Join us in continuing the long history of presenting the emerging technology and techniques in the RF industry!

Symposium Chair: Steven Turner, BAE Systems  
TPC Chair: Joe Bardin, Google/UMass Amherst  
TPC Vice Chair: Steve Bowers, University of Virginia
