Satellite Communication Technologies and Challenges

Dear Colleagues,

Satellite communication systems have advantages such as wide coverage and large transmission capacity, overcoming the geographical limitations of ground cellular communication, enabling multi-dimensional communication tasks in space and on the ground, and allowing emergency communication support in natural disasters. Currently, satellite communication systems play an important role in multiple fields such as transportation, aviation, logistics, agriculture, meteorology, and environmental protection. During the development process of these systems, the large scale and complex network of satellites pose challenges to the real-time stability and efficiency of transmission.

In order to support the development of satellite communication technology, this Special Issue focuses on the latest systems, high-speed high-order modulation communication technologies, advanced coding and modulation strategies, and their innovative applications in inter-satellite high-speed links, satellite–ground feeding links, and satellite–ground user links. It primarily includes research on the latest signal waveform design and communication signal processing theory.

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.
