About
ARFTG (Automatic Radio Frequency Techniques Group) is a US charitable organization established in 1972 that fosters the development of RF and microwave measurement techniques. The group holds two conferences each year: a winter symposium co-located with Radio & Wireless Week and a spring conference held alongside the IEEE International Microwave Symposium (IMS). ARFTG cooperates with IEEE and MTT-S as a verified partner organization, and papers submitted, accepted, and presented at its conferences are published in IEEE Xplore. The group is governed by a 15-member Executive Committee elected to three-year terms; Patrick Roblin of Ohio State University currently serves as President.

ARFTG conferences average more than 120 attendees worldwide; specific attendance for the 2027 Tampa symposium has not been separately published.
The symposium draws RF and microwave measurement professionals from industry, academia, and the scientific community, and is open to anyone interested in the field.
Recurring ARFTG exhibitors include RF and microwave test equipment makers such as Anritsu, Keysight, Maury Microwave, Rohde & Schwarz, Qorvo, MPI Corporation, and Copper Mountain Technologies, alongside engineers and researchers from the wider RF and microwave measurement community.
It depends on whether RF and microwave measurement work is central to your role: ARFTG conferences are built around technical sessions, workshops, and User Forums with direct access to specialists in the field, which suits engineers and researchers more than a general industry audience.
Business casual is typical for technical conferences like this one; the organizer does not publish a dress code.
