Substrate Integrated Circuits and Antennas

Dear Colleagues,

RF, microwave, and mm-wave circuits are widely used in modern communications, such as 5G communication, satellite, and radars. It is the most significant trend to make these circuits and systems low cost, small size, light weight, and high performance. The properties of transmission lines, such as losses, size, etc., play vital roles for these circuits and systems. In recent years, substrate integrated transmission lines including substrate integrated suspended line (SISL), substrate integrated waveguide (SIW), substrate integrated coaxial line (SICL), etc., have been widely used in high-performance circuits and systems.

The aim of this Special Issue is to invite worldwide researchers to present their latest work on RF/microwave/mm-wave substrate integrated circuits. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

(1) Substrate integrated circuits including substrate integrated suspended line (SISL), substrate integrated waveguide (SIW), substrate integrated coaxial line (SICL), etc.

(2) RF/microwave/mm-wave front-end circuits.

(3) Passive circuits including filters, multiplexers, couplers, dividers, baluns, magic-Ts, phase shifters, etc.

(4) Antennas elements and antenna arrays, antenna feeding networks.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
