The phased-array symposium continues the IEEE International Phased Array Symposium series under Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Its programme covers phased-array antennas, digital beamforming and mMIC and photonic technologies for antenna engineers, RF and microwave designers and radar developers, related aerospace decision-makers and technical programme leaders.
About IEEE International Phased Array Symposium
IEEE International Phased Array Symposium is a phased-array technology symposium scheduled for 19 October–23 October 2026 at Hynes Convention Center, Boston, Massachusetts, United States. What distinguishes the event is that it follows phased arrays from MMICs, photonics and digital beamforming through to complete radar and communications systems. The published format uses technical papers and specialist sessions covering array components, beamforming, architectures and platform applications. This structure lets participants follow the relationship between phased-array antennas and digital beamforming, while also seeing how mMIC and photonic technologies affects real systems and programmes. IEEE International Phased Array Symposium is relevant to space and aerospace organisations because space-based radar, satellite communications and electronically steered ground terminals all depend on array performance and integration. The phased-array symposium should therefore be read through its primary technical identity, not described as a generic space conference. The current IEEE International Phased Array Symposium programme remains the authority for individual sessions, contributors and access arrangements.
Event history and organiser
The symposium is an international IEEE forum devoted to the continuing development of phased-array systems and enabling technologies. Current information for this phased-array symposium is published by Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The 2026 meeting at Hynes Convention Center, Boston, Massachusetts, United States gives this phased-array symposium a specific setting; it does not imply that every earlier programme, contributor or participation condition will repeat. Its continuing identity rests on phased-array antennas, digital beamforming and the specialist community working across those areas. The development of this phased-array symposium also reflects a wider shift towards mMIC and photonic technologies in aerospace and adjacent technical sectors. For IEEE International Phased Array Symposium 2026, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is the authority for current edition facts, while the linked institutional source provides context for the event family and organising relationship.
Topics and themes
The 2026 programme connects its central subjects through the event’s phased-array technology symposium format, giving each theme a clear relationship to the wider technical purpose.
- Phased-array antennas: the programme connects digital beamforming with the methods, constraints and decisions faced by antenna engineers.
- Digital beamforming: the programme connects mMIC and photonic technologies with the methods, constraints and decisions faced by RF and microwave designers.
- MMIC and photonic technologies: the programme connects radar and communications arrays with the methods, constraints and decisions faced by radar developers.
- Radar and communications arrays: the programme connects space-based electronic systems with the methods, constraints and decisions faced by satellite communications teams.
- Space-based electronic systems: the programme connects phased-array antennas with the methods, constraints and decisions faced by electronic-systems researchers.
Who should attend?
The phased-array symposium is principally for antenna engineers, RF and microwave designers and radar developers. These groups can use its programme to compare work on phased-array antennas with developments in digital beamforming, identify relevant research or suppliers and understand the constraints shaping implementation. Satellite communications teams bring a complementary perspective where the programme reaches mMIC and photonic technologies, while electronic-systems researchers may find value in sessions closest to their current responsibilities. The phased-array symposium is less suitable for unrelated general-interest visits because its usefulness depends on a defined technical or professional connection. Prospective attendees should check the current programme before registering. That The phased-array symposium check matters where research, policy and operational material serve different participant groups.
