International Conference on Microwave Acoustics & Mechanics (IC-MAM)
In 2026 IEEE MTT-S holds the third International Conference on Microwave Acoustics & Mechanics (IC-MAM). It will take place in Barcelona, Spain from April 20 to 22.
This conference in the heart of MTT-6 represents a unique and unprecedented opportunity to bring together researchers and practitioners of different background (materials scientists, physicists, microwave engineers and process technologists), to share the most recent advances in new materials and manufacturing processes as well as components and devices, which represent the key for the development of future RF, microwave, mm-wave and THz devices, circuits and systems based on RF-MEMS and Acoustics. The conference features an exciting technical program and invited talks by worldwide recognized experts of RF-MEMS and BAW/SAW technologies.
IEEE MTT-S Technical Committee 6 “RF MEMS and Microwave Acoustics” sponsored a “Switched Acoustic Filter Module” Student Design Competition at the 2025 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium. The students were challenged to design a multi-band switched filter that combined both acoustic RF filters and RF MEMS switches. The designs were required to have one antenna […]
New Conference IC-MAM
In 2022 IEEE MTT-S finally launches a new conference series on Microwave Acoustics & Mechanics after the first edition has been postponed by two years due to the Corona pandemic. The first International Conference on Microwave Acoustics & Mechanics (IC-MAM) will be held from July 18-20. 2022 in Munich, Germany. The International Conference on Microwave […]
