Theoretical and Experimental Research in High-Power Microwave Electronics

Dear Colleagues,

The broad and exciting field of High-Power Microwaves (HPM) continues to enjoy active research and development at various universities, research facilities, and commercial organization around the world.  In this rapidly changing field with evolving applications, it useful to gather the results of current and continuing work in one journal issue. 

The goal of this Special Issue on High-Power Microwave Generation is, therefore, to collect manuscripts on the most recent theoretical and experimental results on HPM oscillators and amplifiers for applications including electronic warfare, radar, and accelerators.  In addition, review papers that capture the history and current state of broad areas of the technology and applications of HPM are welcome.

The Special Issue topics include the following:

• Theoretical of High-Power Microwave oscillator and amplifier, including relativistic magnetrons, MILOs, vircators, travelling wave tubes, and gyrotrons;
• Experimental demonstrations of new HPM devices;
• Virtual cathode effects;
• Electric breakdown issues and solutions;
• High-voltage drivers and transmission lines for HPM;
• Applications for HPM devices;
• Special pulse generation;
• HPM diagnositics;
• Review papers on HPM device physics, demonstrations, theory, and modeling.

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-anonymized 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.
