Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid evolution of 5G and beyond technologies promises transformative advancements across various fields, including autonomous systems, IoT, and healthcare. As we move toward these new frontiers, the demand for cutting-edge antenna and propagation technologies becomes increasingly critical to meeting the stringent requirements of high-performance communication systems.

This Special Issue invites high-quality submissions that explore the latest advancements and innovations in antenna and propagation technologies, essential for the next generation of wireless communication systems. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Antennas and propagation;
  • Beam-forming structures and phased arrays;
  • Substrate-integrated waveguide antennas;
  • Dielectric resonator antennas;
  • MIMO technologies;
  • Metasurface antennas;
  • Self-multiplexing antennas;
  • Orbital angular momentum (OAM) antennas;
  • Reconfigurable antennas;
  • Antenna measurements;
  • Numerical electromagnetics.

We encourage researchers to submit original research articles and reviews that present novel solutions, address current challenges, and provide insights into future directions in the field of antennas and propagation.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Mr. Hassan Naseri from the Centre for Energy, Materials and Telecommunications at the National Research Council of Canada for his invaluable contributions in shaping the theme of this special issue. He will also serve as the Guest Editor Assistant, providing essential technical guidance and support throughout the publication process of this special edition.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

In this paper, we introduce a novel method for calculating the electromagnetic (EM) field below a flat interface between two lossless media when a radiating vertical Hertzian dipole (VHD) is located far from the interface. The method uses a Geometrical Optics (GOs) approach based on the concept of ‘equal optical lengths’, in the framework of which the location of the ‘virtual image’ of the original source is calculated. Using the well-known formulae for the far EM field of a vertical Hertzian dipole, the EM field at a point below the flat interface is calculated in a closed mathematical form. Full article
