About
ARFTG (the Automatic Radio Frequency Techniques Group) is a US charitable organization established in 1972 that fosters development of RF and microwave measurement techniques. The group cooperates with IEEE and MTT-S as a verified partner organization, and papers submitted to ARFTG conferences, including the 108th symposium, are published in IEEE Xplore. ARFTG runs two conferences each year: a winter symposium co-located with Radio and Wireless Week, which the 108th Tampa edition represents, and a spring conference held alongside the International Microwave Symposium, with the 109th edition scheduled for May 28, 2027, in San Antonio, TX. Companies sponsor ARFTG conferences at Platinum ($4,000), Gold ($2,000), or Silver ($1,000) tiers per event, with typical exhibitors including Anritsu, Keysight, Maury Microwave, Rohde & Schwarz, and Qorvo.

7 answeredThe 108th ARFTG Microwave Measurement Symposium runs January 17–20, 2027, in Tampa, FL, USA.
ARFTG conferences draw an average of more than 120 experts from around the world who take part in workshops, technical sessions, and User Forums; a 2027-specific attendance total has not been published.
The 108th ARFTG Microwave Measurement Symposium is held at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay in Tampa, FL, USA, co-located with Radio & Wireless Week RWW-2027.
ARFTG has not published a per-conference registration price for the 2027 symposium; attendees who pay to attend at least one annual ARFTG conference are exempt from the group's USD 25 annual membership dues.
ARFTG events bring together RF and microwave measurement engineers and researchers, described by the organizer as spanning the world's leading industries, experts, and scientific community. Companies represented at ARFTG conferences include equipment makers such as Anritsu, Keysight, Maury Microwave, Rohde & Schwarz, and Qorvo.
It is most useful for RF and microwave measurement engineers and researchers, especially those working on satellite and space hardware, since the theme is measurement challenges for space and satellite systems and topics include calibration, over-the-air antenna characterization and component testing. The scale is small, with around 120 attendees on average and exhibitors such as Keysight, Rohde & Schwarz and Maury Microwave, so it favors focused technical exchange with instrument makers and authors published in IEEE Xplore; buyers wanting a large show floor are better served by IMS or RWW itself.
Engineers and researchers at RF and microwave measurement symposia usually wear business casual, such as slacks and collared shirts, with company polos common among exhibitors.
