Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Antennas have attracted increasing attention in various wireless communication applications, including radars, sensor networks, microwave imaging, and satellites, making antenna technology a key element in modern electronic and microwave systems. In this context, antennas are required to meet more and more rigorous specifications, such as a low weight, low manufacturing cost, low profile, and ease of integration with other integrated circuits. One of the aims of this Special Issue is to present the current trends of antenna technologies while showing novel design techniques and emerging applications for next-generation wireless communication systems. This Special Issue will also discuss the recent developments made in new antenna design solutions and cost-effective manufacturing techniques to meet the requirements of several practical 6G wireless applications.
We invite researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on the following key topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Novel microwave, millimeter-wave and terahertz antenna designs;
- Antenna design for 5G/6G applications;
- Antenna design for RFID applications;
- Antenna design solutions for the Internet of Things and the Internet of Medical Things;
- Antenna sensors for passive wireless sensing systems;
- Flexible antenna designs for wearable applications;
- Reconfigurable antenna systems;
- Multiband antennas;
- Screen-printed antennas;
- Lens antennas for 5G/6G wireless communications systems;
- 3D-printed antennas and structures;
- Antenna optimization and miniaturization techniques;
- Antenna measurement techniques and systems.

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.
