Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 6G research has been launched worldwide and has shown a paradigm shift of global coverage, all spectra, full applications, and strong security. To meet the requirements of 6G wireless communication networks, all spectra will be fully explored, including millimeter wave (mmWave) and terahertz (THz) bands. Higher frequency bands can enable higher transmission data rates and increase the resolution ability of joint sensing and communications, as well as imaging. Another merit of higher frequency bands is that more antenna elements can be manufactured in a given space. The new antenna technologies, such as ultra-massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), holographic MIMO, and reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) have been well studied. Meanwhile, signal processing, wireless channel measurements, and channel modeling will also be of great importance for 6G developments and applications.
The main objective of this Special Issue is to address the recent advances and future challenges in RF, (sub-)mmWave, and THz technologies and applications. The topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- RF, (sub-)mmWave, and THz sensing and communications
- RF, (sub-)mmWave, and THz imaging
- RF, (sub-)mmWave, and THz signal processing
- RF, (sub-)mmWave, and THz antennas, devices, and circuits
- Ultra-massive MIMO communications
- Holographic MIMO communications
- Reconfigurable intelligent surface communications
- 6G wireless channel measurements
- 6G wireless channel 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 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.
