Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Until recently, substantial effort has been devoted to new approaches and attempts to design antennas for microwave and millimeter-wave applications. For example, advanced technologies such as antenna miniaturization, array optimization, and bandwidth enhancement have been extensively studied over the past decade, and are being applied to commercial applications such as 4G/5G mobile communications, autonomous driving, or military applications including radar, direction finding, and anti-jamming.
However, as these technologies are recently employed in small mobile devices, the size and geometry of the antennas are more limited in order to be mounted in a more compact space with better radiation performance. Accordingly, advanced antenna designs using novel approaches are required that cover various aspects of this issue.
This Special Issue aims to collect relevant papers describing the latest advances and prospects in antenna design for microwave and millimeter-wave applications.
The fields of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, methods for the design of antennas, such as miniaturization, optimization, and array antennas. You are cordially invited to submit a contribution of either an original research or a review article to this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Hosung Choo
Guest Editor
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.
