Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) technology has emerged as a cornerstone for next-generation wireless communication systems, enabling ultra-high data rates, low latency, and massive connectivity. This Special Issue, titled "Millimeter-Wave Antenna Arrays: From Design to Applications", delves into the latest advancements, challenges, and innovations in mmWave antenna array technologies, spanning from theoretical design to practical implementations. With the rapid deployment of 5G and the ongoing development of 6G, mmWave antenna arrays play a pivotal role in achieving the desired performance metrics for future wireless networks. This issue brings together cutting-edge research on topics such as beamforming, massive MIMO, reconfigurable antennas, metamaterial-based designs, and integration with RF circuits. Additionally, it explores emerging applications in areas like autonomous vehicles, smart cities, IoT, and beyond. By bridging the gap between theoretical research and real-world applications, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive resource for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals working at the forefront of mmWave technology. Contributions include original research articles, review papers, and case studies that highlight the transformative potential of mmWave antenna arrays in shaping the future of wireless communication.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
