Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
While antennas and electromagnetic waves have been applied in modern wireless communications, the development of novel techniques for the manipulation of electromagnetic beams through the reconsideration of the fundamental physics is becoming increasingly interesting. Metasurfaces, the two-dimensional subwavelength artificial electromagnetic structures, offer new opportunities for controlling amplitudes, phases, and polarizations of electromagnetic waves at the interface. Such a concept has shown the prospect of generating and manipulating electromagnetic beams of various forms within a deeply subwavelength scale, which is especially useful in novel antennas designs and compact RF devices or systems.
In this Special Issue, we invite researchers to contribute original and cutting-edge research works that will stimulate continuing efforts to understand electromagnetic metasurfaces and explore their applications in various aspects, particularly in the field of wireless propagation
Potential topics include, but are not limited to the following:
(1) Theory, modeling, and fabrication techniques of metasurface-based antennas
(2) Wavefront manipulation with active/passive metasurfaces
(3) Tunable and/or programmable metasurfaces for antennas
(4) Meta-lenses and meta-mirrors
(5) Metasurfaces for wireless communication 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 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 2300 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.
