The 2024 IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits Symposium (RFIC 2024) is the premier forum focused exclusively on presenting the latest research results in RF, millimeter-wave, and wireless integrated circuits.

Continuing in 2024: RFIC has expanded its focus to include systems, applications, and interactive demonstrations, including mobile systems for 5G and beyond, radar, imaging, satellite communications, terahertz, biomedical, and optoelectronic systems.

Technical Areas: The symposium solicits papers describing original work in all areas related to RF, mm-Wave, THz, and wireless systems and ICs. Work must be demonstrated through IC hardware results and measurements.

• Wireless Radios and Systems-on-Chip: innovative circuit and system-on-chip concepts related to software-defined radio, interference cancellation, full-duplex, cellular/WiFi, GPS, low-power radio circuits for sensors, IoT and biomedical applications, radio architectures suitable for energy harvesting, wake-up receivers, etc.

• Sub-D band mm-Wave Circuits: >20GHz <110GHz circuits for wireless communication, including phase shifters, phased arrays, beamformers, MIMO transceivers, and other systems for 5G applications.

• Radar, Imager, and Sensor: integrated and vehicular radar, imaging, spectroscopy, MEMs-based sensors and actuators, and sensing circuits at RF through THz frequencies.

• Transmitters and Power Amplifiers: for RF through mm-Wave, D-band, and higher frequencies, power amplifiers, drivers, modulators, digital transmitters, advanced TX circuits, linearization, and efficiency enhancement techniques.
