Microwave and Wireless Communications
A section of Electronics (ISSN 2079-9292).
Section Information
It has already been over more than a hundred years since Maxwell's predictions of the electromagnetic wave presence and experiments by Hertz. Needless to say, contemporary information and communication technology (ICT), especially microwave wireless communication technology, has a direct and indirect impact on our lives at present. In other words, this technology area consists of many fields, element and system technologies and has many applications.
