Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wireless communication is no longer limited to media broadcasting, entertainment, or personal communication; rather, it plays an essential role in a wide range of vital sectors, such as defense, food, health, and disaster management. Accordingly, the scientific community has dedicated significant effort to the development of these systems. Antennas and microwave components are a cornerstone in the development of these systems, and future communications will require antennas/components with a short development timeframe.
This objective of this Special Issue is to report recent advancements in antenna/microwave component design, analysis, and implementation for future communication systems. In addition, we will focus on innovative design approaches, such as the deployment of machine learning, reinforcement learning, and deep learning, in antenna/microwave design.
The topics covered in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Antenna theory and design;
- Antenna feed structures;
- Dielectric resonator antennas and aperture antennas;
- Printed antenna elements and arrays;
- Phased-array antennas, reflector antennas, and small antennas;
- Ultra-wideband, dual-band, and multi-band antennas;
- Antennas for 5G/6G communication;
- Wireless power transmission and harvesting;
- Satellite feeding structures;
- Passive components (couplers/transition/mismatch termination/pressure windows);
- Orthomode transducers, dual-mode couplers, and septum polarizers;
- Antenna design based on machine learning approaches;
- Deep learning in microwave component design;
- LEO satellite corrugated horn 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.
