Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recent innovations in aerospace technologies, cellular and terahertz communications, microwave imaging and many other fields have led to increased demand for high-performance, sophisticated antennas and antenna arrays, as they are a fundamental component of any electronic system in these industrial and defense areas.    

This Special Issue will summarize and present to a wider public audience some state-of-the-art achievements in antenna theory design, technology, production and testing, with a focus on micro- and millimeter wave ranges.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Mobile communications—5 and 6G networks, including cellular-to-satellite;
  • Aerospace and radar applications;
  • Antennas for medical applications;
  • Antenna design for IoT, RFID and on-chip applications;
  • Antennas for GNSS applications;
  • Deterministic and nondeterministic (natural) fractal antennas;
  • Antenna design for deep space communication;
  • Antenna design for biomedical systems and applications;
  • Bandgap and metamaterial antennas and structures;
  • Reflectarrays;
  • Antennas for Terahertz applications;
  • Leaky wave antennas;
  • Contemporary antenna manufacturing processes;
  • Antenna measurements in the microwave and millimeter wave range.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.

This paper proposes a compact 2 × 2 on-chip microstrip antenna array operating for W-band applications. The design utilizes a low-loss glass substrate to mitigate dielectric losses and integrates an embedded feeding structure with wideband T-junction power dividers, addressing bandwidth limitations and feed network losses in conventional approaches. Experimental results demonstrate a relative bandwidth of 10.1% (76.11–83.87 GHz) with gain exceeding 10 dBi across the bandwidth, closely aligning with simulated predictions. This work provides a cost-effective solution for millimeter-wave and terahertz antenna systems, balancing high-performance requirements with fabrication simplicity for automotive radar and 5G/6G communication applications.
