The International Topical Meeting on Microwave Photonics (MWP) is the premier international meeting on microwave photonic devices, systems, and applications.

The Conference topics cover all the multi-disciplinary applications of microwave-photonics: the fiber distribution of microwave and millimeter-wave signals, the implementation of new microwave functions (long delays lines, fast spectrum analysis, frequency conversion, low phase-noise oscillators, ultra-fast analog-to-digital converters), and the development of high-speed optical sources, modulators and detectors with bandwidths extending into the millimeter-wave region.

MWP is held annually from 1996, and rotates between the Americas, the Asia-Pacific region, and Europe. Pisa (Italy) is the selected location for MWP2021, which will be held online only due to the COVID19 pandemic.
