IMS 2025 (IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium) is an in-person conference week dedicated to all things microwaves and RF, which will be held from 15th to 20th June 2025 in San Francisco, California. It will also include the IEEE MTT-S Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits Symposium (RFIC) and the Automatic Radio Frequency Techniques Group (ARFTG). IMS 2025 is the world’s largest gathering and industry exhibition for Microwave professionals. The development of RF, microwave, mm-wave, and THz systems continues to expand in several areas, with many applications.
The Particular areas of focus of IMS 2025 will include:
- Radar Systems and Phased Arrays,
- Communications, including 6-and Future-G developments,
- Sensing and environment-aware systems such as smart home & entertainment, smart manufacturing, digital assisted living, and vehicle-to-everything,
- Applications of High-Power Microwave Systems
The theme also includes the use of the electromagnetic spectrum for defense and security as well as air and space-based applications, including secure communications, navigation, remote sensing, design for reliability, radiation hardness, Low Earth Orbital (LEO) Satellite systems, CubeSats, and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).
This premier event will also feature semiconductor chip technology critical for many industries and includes topics like emerging semiconductor devices and processes, innovative integrated circuits, and circuits leveraging 3-D heterogeneous integration and packaging for RF, microwave, mmW and THz applications. It will cover innovative and new contributions in AI/ML for sensing and improving design productivity, computer-aided design tools, quantum computing, materials, terahertz systems, improved energy efficiency for sustainability, RF over fiber, and instrumentation that enable an ecosystem for new disruptive technologies supporting startups impacting multiple industries.
Thousands of industry professionals from around the world gather at IMS to connect, see the latest technology advancements and discover cutting-edge theories, tools and techniques. Sales teams will have unmatched face-to-face opportunities with top decision-makers who are looking for optimal solutions. With over 9,000 attendees and 540+ exhibiting companies, IMS 2025 in San Francisco will be a must-attend event for the RF & Microwave Industry.
