Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At present, wireless communication comprises fifth-generation (5G) cellular technology that uses millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies to offer unprecedented spectrum and multi-Gigabit-per-second (Gbps) data rates to a mobile device. Terahertz (THz) technologies have great potential in 5G and future 6G wireless communication systems as THz bands can provide a higher continuous bandwidth and a greater transmission rate compared with mm wave bands. With spectra ranging from 0.1 to 10 THz, THz provides enormous bandwidth, up to 100 GHz, and a massive data rate of up to 1Tbps. In addition, the size of the transceiver tends to be much smaller due to the shorter wavelength of millimeter wave/terahertz bands, which makes it easier to integrate with an ultra-massive antenna array.
Although millimeter wave/terahertz communication is interesting and has great potential, some commonly used technologies in traditional communication systems are limited. For real applications of millimeter wave/terahertz communications, the design and application of antennas and integrated circuits are hot topics that need to be studied.
This Special Issue covers the design of antennas and integrated circuits as well as their applications in wireless communications and the associated issues and challenges.
Suggested topics include the following:
- Millimeter wave/THz multibeam antennas;
- Millimeter wave/THz antenna arrays;
- Millimeter wave/THz MIMO antennas;
- Millimeter wave/THz transmission lines and waveguides;
- Millimeter wave/THz front-end chips

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.
