Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Sensing and wireless communication have developed rapidly in recent years. In addition, combined radar and communication is now considered a promising technology for future wireless systems. The objective of this Special Issue is therefore to present state-of-art antenna and array designs for future sensing and communication systems.

The scope of this Special Issue therefore includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

  • The architecture of antenna and array systems for future sensing and wireless communication
  • mm-Wave, THz antenna and arrays for future sensing and wireless communication
  • Integrated antenna and arrays for future sensing and wireless communication
  • Low-profile antenna and arrays for future sensing and wireless communication
  • Wide and high-gain antenna and arrays for future sensing and wireless communication
  • Antenna and arrays for satellite direct-to-handset.

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. Electronics 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.

A 4 × 4 wideband millimeter-wave (mmWave) slot array antenna excited by the TE440 mode based on the groove gap waveguide is presented in this paper. A vertical waveguide located in the center of the cavity and two ridges are used to excite the TE440 mode. In addition, a pair of corrugations acting as the soft surface are added on the top of the array antenna to improve the gain. A 4 × 4 prototype is fabricated and measured. The measured and simulated results are in great agreement. The measured results show that the proposed array antenna achieved an impedance bandwidth (|S11| < −10 dB) of 26.7% from 26.14 to 34.2 GHz, and the maximum gain is 17.7 dBi. The proposed array antenna avoids the complicated feeding network, allowing us to reduce the manufacturing cost. Full article

This paper presents the synthesis of a 64 × 64 thinned array, using the branch and bound technique with convex optimization and a low sidelobe level for satellite communication. The branch and bound technology decomposes optimization into several subproblems. The convex optimization transforms the optimized variable binary [0, 1] of the thinned array into a continuous variable, i.e., from 0 to 1. Based on the branch and bound technique with convex optimization, the fast and accurate convergence of the synthesis of large-scale thinned array was achieved, and 2400 elements were selected for a full 64 × 64 array with a sidelobe level that satisfies the system requirements. The proposed thinned array with 2400 elements was simulated via full-wave 3D simulation. A prototype of the proposed thinned array was fabricated and measured. The simulated and measured results verified the effectiveness of the branch and bound technique with convex optimization. Full article
