Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to the Special Issue on “Recent Advances in Microwave Photonics: Second Edition”.
Microwave photonics is an interdisciplinary area that integrates optics and radio-frequency (RF) engineering, attracting substantial interest in recent years in both academia and industry, advancing many applications in defense, communication networks, imaging, and instrumentations. Microwave photonics uses optical devices and technologies to generate, process, manipulate, and distribute RF signals, enabling functions or performances which are complex or even not achievable by traditional RF systems. Many new insights and breakthroughs have been proposed and demonstrated in recent years, which will be discussed in this Special Issue.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Microwave photonic signal generation;
- Microwave photonic signal processing;
- Microwave photonic radar;
- True time delay beamforming ;
- Integrated microwave photonics;
- Applications of microwave photonics.

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.
