Multi-Band/Broadband Antenna Design, Optimization and Measurement

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid development of infinite communication technology, people’s requirements are increasingly higher for communication and radar systems, and traditional antenna design cannot meet the needs. Therefore, the design and performance optimization of multi-band/broadband antennas has become a hot topic.

Broadband antenna is an antenna capable of transmitting signals over a wider range of frequency bands. The main feature points are its frequency band width, that is, it can achieve a large degree of signal transmission. Compared with narrowband antenna, wideband antenna can not only improve the width of transmission but also improve the quality and stability of signal and improve the efficiency of communication. A multiband antenna is a device designed to transmit and receive frequencies via several bands or frequency channels which are selected electronically.

This Special Issue will explore the involvement, optimization, and measurement of multiband/wideband antennas, including, but not limited to, the following topics:

  • Broadband antenna;
  • Antenna design and optimization;
  • Antenna measurement;
  • multiband antenna;
  • Mobile multi-band antennas;
  • Antenna arrays;
  • Wireless communication;
  • Electromagnetics;
  • Broadband and circularly polarized antennas.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
