Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Antennas, working as electronic eyes and mouths in wireless communications, can receive and transmit electromagnetic waves. They are widely used everywhere: in our homes and workplaces, in supermarkets and hospitals, on vehicles and aircraft, and even on/in the human body. As innovative technologies make progress, novel antennas have been developed for application in emerging areas, such as body-centric wireless communications, wireless real-time health monitoring, and RFID-based IoTs.
The objective of this Special Issue is to report recent designs and applications of antennas, as well as highlight more study possibilities in this fascinating field of communications technology. Contributions are sought for, but not limited to, the following areas:
- Antenna theory;
- Antenna feeds and matching circuits;
- Mutual coupling in antenna arrays;
- Dielectric resonator antennas;
- Microstrip antennas, arrays, and circuits;
- Slotted and guided-wave antennas;
- Phased-array antennas;
- Reflector and reflectarray antennas;
- Electrically small antennas;
- Broadband/ultra-wideband antennas;
- Multi-band antennas;
- Adaptive, active, and smart antennas;
- Reconfigurable antennas and arrays;
- Biomedical applications;
- MIMO implementations and applications;
- Mobile and PCS antennas;
- RFID antennas and systems;
- Ultra-wideband systems;
- Vehicular antennas and electromagnetics;
- Software-defined/cognitive radio;
- On-chip antennas;
- Wireless power transmission and harvesting;
- 3D-printed antennas and structures;
- Millimeter-wave and sub-mm-wave antennas;
- Terahertz, infrared, and optical antennas.

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.
