IMS 2026 Insider: 5G Solutions on Display in Boston

IMS 2026 (IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium), will take place in Boston this year from 9–11 June 2026. This is the world’s leading event for RF and microwave professionals, bringing together industry and academic experts to showcase the latest innovations in wireless and communication technologies. everything RF has listed a few interesting 5G products to be showcased on the IMS Exhibition floor this year. Here is the list!


SMT MMIC Amplifier from 22–43.5 GHz 

The TSS-44+ is a surface-mount MMIC amplifier fabricated using E-pHEMT technology, operating from 22 to 43.5 GHz. It delivers 17.6 dB typical gain at 30 GHz with ±0.9 dB gain flatness, low noise figure, and strong active directivity. Featuring an integrated 3-stage gain block with DC blocks, bias-tee, microwave bypass capacitor, and shutdown capability, it supports compact high-frequency RF system designs.

Mini Circuits (Booth #19054) 


High-Isolation SP4T RF Switch from 50 MHz to 8.5 GHz 

The QPC6144 is a high-isolation SP4T RF switch that operates from 50 MHz to 8.5 GHz. Designed for DPD feedback and calibration paths in 5G mMIMO and macro radios, it simplifies complex RF signal routing, reduces board space requirements, and improves signal integrity in dense radio architectures.

Qorvo Booth (#20036) 


Super Wideband Mobile Network Scanner from 10 MHz to 8.5 GHz 

The R&S TSMS8 is a super wideband mobile network scanner that operates from 10 MHz to 8.5 GHz, with mmWave coverage up to 53 GHz when used with a downconverter. It features up to 400 MHz front-end bandwidth and high scanning speed for efficient 5G optimization and 6G readiness. Supporting all major cellular technologies from GSM to 5G, it enables faster and more comprehensive network testing.
