State-of-the-Art Antenna Technology for Wireless Communication System

Dear Colleagues,

The increasing complexity and compactness of IoT, wireless communication, automotive, and medical devices and other wirelessly connected technologies poses several challenges. To supersede or supplement the creation and evaluation of parametric design, antenna researchers need to provide promising, distinctive, robust, accurate, and reliable solutions using pertinent computational resources for the future wireless communication system. It is within this context that we announce the Special Issue of Micromachines on “State-of-the-Art Antenna Technology for wireless communication System”.

This Special Issue intends to provide state-of-the-art antennas and to discuss the best and most innovative approaches for future wireless communication systems. The progress of electronic devices demands a wide range of antennas operating in a frequency spectrum from 3KHz to 300GHz. The new and existing spectrum distributions at the low and high frequencies are attracting a variety of short- and long-range commercial communication applications and posing new challenges in antenna design in terms of miniaturization, directive, polarization, flexibility, wider bandwidth, array,  MIMO, beamforming, and application-specific additional features.

We encourage experts from academia and industry to contribute to this Special Issue with their enduring research and predictions of the emerging developments in antennas technology to stimulate meaningful conversation and provide an outline of cutting-edge technology. We request that submissions to this issue on antennas meet several criteria. These include novelty, relevant mathematics, technical integrity, practical relevance and application, thorough and broad evaluation, appropriate and compelling illustrations, and fair and transparent comparison with other methods and approaches.

We look forward to your submissions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2100 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
