Advanced Technologies in Electromagnetic Compatibility

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to propose a Special Issue of Applied Sciences journal, entitled "Advanced Technologies in Electromagnetic Compatibility."

EMC rules the maximum emission levels and the minimum immunity requirements for the devices at the scope to ensure their correct interoperability in the real operational environment. Due to the growing exposition of human beings to the electromagnetic fields, the EMC field also studies the effect of the non-ionizing radiations and it establishes the physical quantities involved in such phenomena and their biological effect in function of the exposure values.

Historically, EMC was born in the last century, when the electromagnetic environment was significantly different with respect to the one in which we are living; for this reason EMC is a science that is in constant evolution and it always faces new fields of application. At this scope, in this issue all the newest EMC topics will be investigated.

As regards the test environments, the use of reverberation chambers has grown in importance and its use is ruled by international standards.

The increasing use of electric or hybrid vehicles suggests the issue of safety assessment in car electric recharging, in particular in regards to the wireless transfer protocol.

More traditional topics, as shielding, absorbing, and gasketing are a subject in evolution, because new materials and techniques are being developed, as are the procedures to measure their performances. Nano- and meta-materials are topics that are rapidly evolving in the aim of solving these issues.

Finally, a particular attention should be focused on EMC in medical environment, where both devices and human beings have particular restrictions aimed to ensure higher levels of safety.

For all these reasons, I would like to invite you to submit papers describing your research activity on advanced technology in electromagnetic compatibility.

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.
