Microwave and Antenna System for Biological and Medical Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Medical devices are increasingly innovating through the adoption of microwave technologies, in terms of innovative antenna systems and sensors for the implementation of a ‘personalized medicine’ approach, by utilizing a procedure to realize the continuous, non-invasive, real-time monitoring of biomedical parameters. The further integration of microwave technologies with ‘machine learning’ tools will help medical operators perform rapid and accurate diagnoses, such as in the case of small-size tumors, while avoiding the need of ionizing radiation (X-rays).

This Special Issue encourages authors, from academia and industry, to submit new research results on the application of microwave/millimeter-wave sensors and antenna systems. The Special Issue topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Antenna systems for medical applications;
• Microwave imaging for biomedical applications;
• Microwave technologies for contactless biomedical sensing;
• Signal processing methods for microwave biomedical sensors;
• Machine learning techniques for microwave biomedical applications.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
