Advanced Circuits and Systems for Emerging Applications

Dear Colleagues,

This year celebrates the 75th anniversary of the invention of the first transistor. With the unending evolution of semiconductor technologies and unceasing developments of new applications, integrated circuits and systems have been part of nearly all aspects of our daily lives. Increasingly stringent specifications are imposed on the speed, power consumption, compactness, and cost of the circuits and systems in order to fulfill the new challenges brought by emerging applications such as smart biosensing systems, advanced communications, innovative medical imaging, as well as novel memory and computing architectures. This Special Issue intends to present new ideas and experimental results in the field of advanced circuits and systems for emerging applications, from theory, design, and experiments to practical uses. Areas relevant to this field include, but are not limited to, innovative integrated circuits, systems, and algorithms.

This Special Issue will publish unpublished, high-quality original research papers in the overlapping fields of:

• Innovative analog and mixed-signal circuits (sensor interfaces, amplifiers, oscillators, power management units, data converters, etc.).
• Advanced RF circuits and wireless/wireline architectures (building blocks and solutions at RF, mm-wave and THz frequencies for receivers, transmitters, frequency synthesizers, RF filters, SoCs, and SiPs, etc.).
• Emerging circuits for digital-intensive systems (e.g., microprocessors), machine learning and AI, MEMS, image sensors and memory.
• Systems and demonstrations with the aforementioned circuits and systems.

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.
