Antenna Technology for 5G Communication

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite contributions to this Special Issue on "Antenna Technology for 5G Communication". The rapid development of 5G technology has transformed the wireless communication landscape, necessitating advanced antenna solutions that can support higher frequencies, increased data rates, and enhanced connectivity. This Special Issue explores the latest advancements in antenna design, materials, and applications that are pivotal for deploying 5G networks. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Novel antenna designs for millimeter-wave frequencies.
2. MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) antenna systems for improved capacity and efficiency.
3. Smart antennas and beamforming technologies for dynamic coverage.
4. Integration of antennas with emerging technologies such as IoT and smart cities.

We look forward to receiving your contributions, which will further enrich the knowledge base in this critical area of research.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
