Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In modern communication technology, artificial materials, especially metamaterials, have shown great potential in antennas and microwave devices due to their unique electromagnetic properties. These materials can manipulate electromagnetic waves by designing microstructures, such as negative refraction, the perfect lens effect, and invisibility cloaks. In antenna design, artificial materials can enhance the gain and directivity of antennas while reducing their size, which is particularly important for mobile communication devices. Moreover, they can also be used to manufacture high-performance microwave devices, such as filters, waveguides, and stealth materials. These devices play a key role in radar and satellite communication. With the advancement of material science and nanotechnology, the application of artificial materials in antennas and microwave devices will continue to expand, bringing revolutionary changes to future communication technology.

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.
