Microwave and Wireless Communications
A section of Electronics (ISSN 2079-9292).
Section Information
It has already been over more than a hundred years since Maxwell's predictions of the electromagnetic wave presence and experiments by Hertz. Needless to say, contemporary information and communication technology (ICT), especially microwave wireless communication technology, has a direct and indirect impact on our lives at present. In other words, this technology area consists of many fields, element and system technologies and has many applications.
In the section of “microwave, wireless communication”, we would like to invite advanced theories and technologies across a wide spectrum. These can be related to microwave and millimeter wave communication, including radar sensor, etc., which may be fundament or application, element or system, hardware or software, methodology theory or measurement. We hope to present the state-of-the-art technologies in this section.
