The International Microwave Power Institute is to the leading global association dedicated to the exchange of information on all aspects of microwave and RF heating technologies.

Our Goals:

To provide a global community in which researchers, academia and business professionals have the opportunity for open exchange on existing and potential non-communications uses of microwave energy.

Promote and document research on microwave and RF applications technology through the publication of the Journal of Microwave Power and Electromagnetic Energy (JMPEE), our newsletters and our literature archives.

Educate research and development professionals in the food industry on the latest technology and safety issues related to microwave food products.

Provide recognition for significant achievement in our industry.

About IMPI

The International Microwave Power Institute (IMPI) was founded in 1966 in Canada to serve the information needs of specialists working with microwave and RF heating systems. In 1977, the Institute reorganized to expand its industrial and scientific base to meet the information needs evolving in consumer microwave ovens and related products.

IMPI's members include scientists, researchers, lab technicians, product developers, marketing managers and a variety of other professionals interested in the industrial, scientific, medical, instrumentation, food science, and other applications of microwave/RF technology. By combining science and engineering with practical development and marketing, the Institute encourages technical advancement both in the laboratory and in the field.

The Institute provides support to its members through three basic vehicles including meetings and seminars, technical and information publications, and special service assistance programs. IMPI is a nonprofit organization (US 501(c)3).
