Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Analog and radiofrequency (RF) circuit design remains a cornerstone of modern electronics, enabling critical functionality in applications ranging from wireless communication and sensor interfaces to biomedical systems and high-performance computing. As digital systems continue to scale and diversify, the demand for robust, power-efficient, and high-performance analog and RF front ends is greater than ever.
Recent advances in circuit design methodologies, device modeling, and system-level integration have opened up new possibilities for performance optimization, noise reduction, bandwidth extension, and ultra-low-power operation. At the same time, emerging application areas such as 6G communications, quantum systems, wearable health monitoring, and automotive radar are driving innovation in analog/RF design far beyond the traditional paradigms.
This Special Issue aims to present the latest progress in analog and RF circuit design, with an emphasis on novel architectures, design techniques, modeling approaches, and circuit implementations. We invite submissions that address challenges and breakthroughs in the design of low-noise amplifiers, mixers, power amplifiers, phase-locked loops, data converters, and other key building blocks, particularly in the context of system integration and real-world application. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
- Analog and RF circuit design;
- Data converters, phase-locked loop, voltage-controlled oscillator, and sensor interface circuit;
- Low-noise amplifier and mixer and power amplifier;
- Key building blocks for analog/RF circuits;
I 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.
