IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium 11-16 June 2023

Guest Editorial

This Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques (TMTT) is comprised of the extended papers from the 2022 IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society (IEEE MTT-S) International Microwave Symposium (IMS2022), held in Denver, CO, USA, in June 2022. The IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium is the world’s major event on microwave technologies annually organized by the IEEE MTT-S as the society’s premier flagship conference. The conference represents a unique opportunity to bring together researchers and practitioners with diverse technical backgrounds to share the most recent advances in MHz-to-THz technologies and systems. After two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, IMS2022 came back to being an in-person-only event that was held on June 19–24, 2022, at the Colorado Convention Center, Denver.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning have experienced phenomenal success in the past decade in signal processing, image and speech recognition, robotics, autonomous systems, and more. This success is also coupled with the expanding applications of AI and machine learning in broad areas of science and engineering. The microwave community is among the earliest in exploring machine learning and artificial neural networks (ANN) for wireless and wireline electronic device, and circuit and system designs. Early works that appeared in the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS) are, for example, ANN for microstrip design (1993), ANN for microwave circuit analysis and optimization (1994), ANN for via interconnect (1996), and ANN for microwave computer-aided design (1996). The first time that IMS hosted a workshop on this topic (Applications of ANN for Microwave Design) was in IMS 1997, where the workshop was organized by Profs. K. C. Gupta and Michel Nakhla, and the invited speakers included R. L. Mahajan, K. C. Gupta, M. S. Nakhla, G. L. Creech, and Q. J. Zhang. Over the subsequent years, many researchers from around the world have contributed to the continuing development of ANN/machine learning techniques for microwave design. Several factors drove the development, one being the learning and generalization ability of ANN to learn computationally expensive microwave modeling/design problems offline, and to provide fast solutions to the problems during online design tasks. Another driving factor is the ability of ANN to learn microwave relationships directly from data even if analytical formulas for the targeted relationship are not available. From this angle, various ANN-based inverse modeling methods are developed, providing direct solutions to microwave design problems which otherwise would require expensive iterative process to solve. Further integrations between the microwave and machine learning disciplines led to knowledge-based approaches for modeling and design incorporating existing microwave-specific knowledges with the learning capabilities of ANNs, and technologies addressing cost of microwave data generation to perform effective machine learning for microwave applications.

Guest Editorial Introduction to the Special Section on the 2021 RFIC Symposium

This Special Issue of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits (JSSC) features a Special Section on key invited papers presented at the 2021 Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits Symposium (RFIC Symposium), held in hybrid mode on June 6–8 (in-person) and June 21–July 20, 2021 (online). The RFIC Symposium is the world’s premier conference focused on RF and millimeter-wave (mm-wave)-integrated circuits and systems technology. It shares the venue with the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS) as part of the Microwave Week and is co-sponsored by the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society.

Guest Editorial

This Special Issue of IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques (TMTT) is comprised of the expanded papers from the 2021 IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (IEEE MTT-S) International Microwave Symposium (IMS2021), held in Atlanta, GA, USA, on June 2021. The IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium is the world’s major event of microwave technologies annually organized by the IEEE MTT-S as the society’s premier flagship conference. The conference represents a unique opportunity to bring together researchers and practitioners with diverse technical backgrounds to share the most recent advances in MHz-to-THz technologies and systems. Due to the unprecedented pandemic situations, the IMS2021 was held in a hybrid format, comprised of in-person and virtual participation options. The in-person event was held on June 7–10, 2021, at the Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta. A virtual event followed on June 20–25, 2021.

Introduction to the Special Section on the IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) Symposium

This Special Section of the IEEE JOURNAL OF SOLID-STATE CIRCUITS includes a selection of papers presented at the 2013 IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) Symposium, held June 2-4, 2013 in Seattle,WA, USA. The symposium is co-located with the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS). This annual meeting covers all aspects of RF and microwave circuits and systems. The 2013 RFIC Symposium received 202 submissions from across the world, covering a broad range of topics including transceiver SoCs and associated blocks such as power amplifier/tunable front-ends, frequency synthesis circuits, baseband circuits, and high-speed I/O circuits, as well as papers covering low-power/wireless sensor transceivers and mm-wave/THz circuits. This issue of the Journal presents four papers selected from a total of 103 presented at the Symposium. An overview of the technical articles is presented.

Guest Editorial [Mini special issue intro.

This Transactions' Mini-Special Issue includes four papers from the 2013 Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) Symposium, Seattle, WA, USA, June 2-4, 2013. The symposium is one of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (IEEE MTT-S) premier symposia and is co-located with the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS) each year. Out of 202 papers submitted, 103 papers were accepted (51% acceptance rate) for presentation in the conference and publication in the 2013 RFIC Symposium Digest. These papers have also been published online on IEEE Xplore. After the symposium, the conference chairs invited eight authors of papers presented at the symposium to submit expanded papers to this Transactions' Mini-Special Issue. A total of six papers were submitted, and the reviewers for every paper were selected from the RFIC Technical Program Committee and this Transactions' Editorial Board. After rigorous reviews, four papers were accepted for publication in this Mini-Special Issue. Each of the Mini-Special Issue papers is briefly described.
