Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, significant strides have been made toward the realization of millimeter-wave and terahertz systems, especially in imaging and ultra-broadband communication applications. However, they still face the problems of insufficient transmission power, limited sensitivity, and low system integration. A variety of new approaches are being pursued to improve the responsivity of detectors, as well as the efficiency of antennas and amplifiers. Meanwhile, arrayed detectors and transmitters are being developed to increase the detection gain and facilitate beam-steering/forming capabilities.
The advances in silicon-based integration technology and the improvement of the HEMT process, with a higher machining accuracy and 2DEG density, make high-performance terahertz detection arrays and transceiver systems achievable, and enable a variety of interesting and valuable applications.
This Special Issue aims to demonstrate recent progress in detectors, antennas, and transceiver circuits based on silicon/HEMT/MEMS technologies, and on arrays for security imaging, non-destructive inspection applications, etc.

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.
