2026 IMWS-AMP

IMWS-AMP 2026

IMWS-AMP 2026 is a continuation of a series of annual international events held in Suzhou, China (2015), Chengdu, China (2016), Pavia, Italy (2017), Michigan, USA (2018), Bochum, Germany (2019), Suzhou, China (2020), Chongqing, China (2021), Guangzhou, China (2022), Chengdu, China (2023), Nanjing, China (2024) and Wuxi, China (2025).

The purpose of this platform is to boost technical and educational activities as well as exchanges and collaborations within the international microwave community. IMWS-AMP 2026 will be held in Cairns, Australia on July 22- 24, 2026. IMWS-AMP 2026 will feature both invited and contributed papers. Distinguished researchers will be invited to deliver keynote speeches on technology trends and significant advances in relevant topics.

Contributed papers are solicited for the same topics as listed below.

Track 1: Advanced Materials for RF and Microwave

• 2D materials and carbon nanotubes for electronic and optoelectronic devices
• Wide bandgap and emerging semiconductors for high-frequency applications
• Magnetic, superconducting, and spin-wave materials for RF and THz

Track 2: Innovative Manufacturing and Integration

• Additive and large-area manufacturing (3D printing, inkjet) for RF and THz components
• Advanced packaging and integration for 5G, mmWave, and IoT
• Ceramic and polymer-based substrates for microwave devices

Track 3: Flexible and Wearable Antennas and Systems

• Flexible materials and processes for RF electronics and antennas
• Integrated antennas and RF components for wearable IoT devices

Track 4: Metamaterials and Intelligent Wave Engineering

• Metamaterials and plasmonics for absorption, cloaking, and wave manipulation
• Antennas leveraging artificial and engineered materials
• Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) for smart wireless environments

Track 5: Integrated Microwave and THz Devices

• Passive and active microwave/THz devices including filters, amplifiers, modulators, etc.

Track 6: Advanced Applications and Characterization

• Wireless communications, radar, imaging, and sensing
• Material characterization for RF, microwave, and THz technologies

Special Sessions

Proposals are solicited for Special Sessions. Each proposal should include the title of the special session, the organizer’s information, a brief description of the topic, and a list of proposed speakers (no less than five). The associated papers or abstracts will be due by the same date and reviewed by the same process as regular papers/abstract submission. The template for “Proposal for Special Session” can be downloaded here. Proposals should be submitted via e-mail to the Special Session Chair Dr He Zhu at he.zhu@csiro.au by no later than 31 January 2026.

Submissions

Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts in electronic (PDF) format only through EDAS. All papers must be written in English and limited to three pages. Papers submitted will be peer-reviewed, and all papers presented at the conference will be included in the IEEE Xplore pending quality review. Note that one-page abstracts can also be acceptable, but they will not be included in the IEEE Xplore.

Please submit papers after January 11, 2026 via EDAS at https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=34661

Special Issue in IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques (IEEE T-MTT)

Authors of all papers presented at IEEE IMWS-AMP 2026 are invited to submit an expanded version of their papers to a Mini-Special Issue of IEEE T-MTT. A significant extension of the conference paper is required, so that the novelty and quality of the manuscript are the same as that of regular manuscripts of IEEE T-MTT. Every paper will be reviewed in the same manner as all other regular submissions.

Best Student Paper Awards

Awards for Best Student Papers will be presented to the winners at the conference. The Awards Committee will judge the papers primarily on originality, significance, technical soundness, presentation, and reviewers’ reports. To qualify for the Best Student Paper, the author must be a full-time student who presents, as the first author, the paper at the conference.

Register

Please register through our Event Manager portal Academic Event Services. Payments are by credit card only and are secured by the Stripe gateway.

https://academiceventservices.com/conferences/imws-amp-2026/

Please use a working e-mail address as your receipt will be sent there and you will need the receipt number to upload your final manuscript. Department secretaries should not bulk register delegates – each delegate should register with their own e-mail.

If your payment fails please ensure your credit card is enabled for international transactions (a common problem in Japan) and that you are using the card from the country of issue (a common problem for some cards issues in the Asian region).
