KYOCERA AVX, a global leader in advanced electronic components that support technological innovation and a more connected future, is taking part in IMS 2026, also known as the IEEE International Microwave Theory Symposium. The event is being held this week in Boston, from Sunday, June 7 to Friday, June 12.
IMS is recognized as the world’s largest and most important conference and exhibition focused on the RF and microwave industry. It provides a platform for professionals to explore and exchange insights on the latest advancements in technology, theories, tools, techniques, products, and services. The event also encourages networking among industry experts, innovators, and leaders, while addressing key challenges such as increasing thermal management demands, strict size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) requirements, growing system complexity driven by software, and the need for advanced multi-domain testing, sub-terahertz frequency solutions, and quantum-level performance.
IMS 2026 will welcome more than 8,400 attendees representing 55 different countries and the full scope of the wireless technology supply chain, extending from academia, raw materials, chip design, and software emulation to automated testing, regulatory compliance, defense systems, and corporate purchasing. It will also feature more than 500 exhibiting companies, 14 selected startups, and four distinct but complementary symposia combined into a unified experience: the IEEE MTT-S RF Integrated Circuits (RFIC) Symposium (June 7–9), the new IEEE MTT-S RF Systems & Applications (RFSA) Symposium and IEEE MTT-S RF Technology & Techniques (RFTT) Symposium (June 8–11), and the ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference (June 12).
As part of the IEEE MTT-S RF Technology & Techniques (RFTT) Symposium, on Thursday, June 11, KYOCERA AVX Principle Research Engineer Jonathan Herr will present a microwave application seminar, “Using Thin-Film Sputtering Technologies to Create new Bias Options,” which bridges the gap between thin-film material science and broadband RF circuit layout to help microwave design engineers overcome physical board constraints without sacrificing signal integrity or DC bias efficiency.
Jonathan will also join KYOCERA AVX Vice President of Advanced RF Products Marianne Berolini, Chief Scientist Joe Hock, Technical Sales Manager Christine McAllister, and Associate Product Marketing Manager Kalli Todd at the KYOCERA AVX exhibition (Booth #16075), which will showcase a variety of capacitors, couplers, filters, antennas, inductors, and resistive products engineered for high-frequency, ultra-low-loss, and high-density performance in 5G, 6G, and IoT applications and stable, high-reliability, mission-critical performance in aerospace, defense, radar, and satcom applications.
KYOCERA AVX IMS 2026 Exhibit highlights include:
- RF and microwave capacitors designed and manufactured for optimal performance in RF (3kHz – 1GHz), microwave (1–300GHz), optical, and high-RF-power applications extending throughout the consumer, commercial, industrial, telecommunications, automotive, military, aerospace, space, and medical industries — including the newly expanded range of 550/560 Series ultra-broadband capacitors, which are built to satisfy surging cross-market demand for high-speed, high-bandwidth optical communication systems.
- Thin-film directional couplers, like the DB0402 3dB 90° hybrid couplers, that leverage advanced multilayer technology to deliver elite high-frequency performance — including low insertion loss, high isolation, seamless signal distribution, and superior directivity — in a rugged, ultra-compact footprint and support reliable automatic assembly.
- EMI, low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and feedthrough filters engineered to unlock superior performance across RF and microwave frequencies in applications with demanding precision, size, and reliability criteria — including BP1206 and BP2816 Series Thin-Film Band-Pass Filters, which deliver highly repeatable and reliable RF performance in a wide range of high-power telecommunications, military, aerospace, medical, and consumer electronics applications with crowded PCBs.
- Antennas optimized to facilitate wireless connectivity in a wide variety of applications extending throughout the automotive, industrial, IoT, consumer, medical, transportation, and networking industries — including high-reliability standard and ultra-small chip antennas rigorously tested to AEC-Q200 requirements, such as the A-Series all-in-one (LTE, GNSS, and NTN) embedded automotive broadband antennas and 2.4GHz automotive corner chip antennas.
- RF and microwave inductors engineered to deliver optimal efficiency, precise impedance control, and superior space savings, reliability, signal integrity, and low-loss performance in critical high-frequency telecommunications, aerospace, defense, and high-speed data systems.
- Attenuators, resistors, and terminations designed to optimize circuit performance, improve energy efficiency, and exhibit exceptional accuracy, stability, and reliability in a wide range of industrial, automotive, consumer electronics, and medical applications
