Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Multiple-antenna systems have become a cornerstone of modern wireless communication, enabling enhanced data rates, spectral efficiency, and reliability. This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research on multiple-antenna techniques, including but not limited to MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output), beamforming, spatial multiplexing, and massive MIMO architectures.
We welcome the submission of both theoretical and practical contributions that address current and emerging challenges in 5G, 6G, and beyond. Topics of interest include signal processing algorithms, antenna array design, channel modeling, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs), and integration with AI and machine learning techniques. We also invite the submission of studies on energy-efficient and hardware-constrained implementations for IoT- and UAV-based communications.
This Special Issue will serve as a platform for researchers and practitioners to present novel solutions that advance the state of the art in multi-antenna wireless systems and shape the future of wireless connectivity.

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.
