Advanced Research in Electromagnetic Compatibility Techniques for Electronic Systems

Dear Colleagues,

In our increasingly connected world, the proliferation of electronic systems, from Internet of Things (IoT) devices and 5G communication networks to advanced driver-assistance systems (ADASs) and high-density power converters, has created an unprecedentedly complex electromagnetic environment. The performance, reliability, and safety of these systems are fundamentally dependent on their ability to operate without causing or being affected by electromagnetic interference (EMI). As operating frequencies increase, component densities rise, and systems become more integrated, traditional approaches to Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) are being pushed to their limits, necessitating innovative research and novel solutions.

The relentless drive towards miniaturization, higher data rates, and greater energy efficiency introduces significant challenges. High-speed digital circuits are more susceptible to signal integrity issues, wide-bandgap semiconductors in power electronics generate faster transients and broader noise spectra, and the sheer number of wireless devices creates a crowded spectrum where interference is a primary concern. Consequently, ensuring EMC is no longer a final-stage validation task but a critical consideration that must be integrated throughout the entire design lifecycle, from material science and component selection to system architecture and validation.

This Special Issue aims to provide a premier international forum for researchers and engineers to present their latest findings, breakthroughs, and review articles on the cutting edge of EMC techniques. We invite contributions that address the growing complexity of modern electronic systems and propose forward-thinking solutions.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:

(1) Advanced EMI shielding materials, metamaterials, and absorbing structures;

(2) Novel techniques for EMI filtering and noise suppression;

(3) Advanced numerical modeling, simulation, and machine learning for EMC analysis;

(4) EMC/EMI and signal/power integrity in high-speed digital systems;

(5) EMC challenges and solutions for power electronics, especially with SiC and GaN devices;

(6) EMC in wireless communication systems, 5G/6G technologies, and IoT networks;

(7) Advanced EMC measurement techniques and test methodologies;

(8) System-level EMC design, management, and co-design methodologies;

(9) Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD), lightning, and other transient phenomena;

(10) Application-specific EMC for emerging technologies.

We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions to this exciting and critically important field.

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.
