Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of wireless systems, array antennas have attracted more and more interest due to the fact that they are critical and inevitable parts of systems. Wideband array antennas are widely used in the applications of 5G/6G base stations and point-to-point communication systems to provide fast data transfer. Phased array antennas with steering beams play a significant role in practical applications, such as 5G mm Wave handsets, mobile SATCOM terminals, radar, etc. However, it is still a challenge for array antennas to fulfill the requirements of various systems. Thus, many novel technologies, including meta-surfaces, tightly coupled methods, and gap waveguides are being employed along with array antennas to achieve innovative performances.
The aim of the Special Issue “Applications of Array Antenna in Modern Wireless Systems” is to seek innovative and scientific research on array antennas. In this Special Issue, both original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Ultra-wideband and wideband array antenna;
- Phased array antenna;
- Tightly coupled array antenna;
- Multi-band array antenna;
- Linearly/circularly polarized array antenna;
- Full-metal array antenna;
- Base station antenna;
- Array antenna based on 3D-printed technique;
- Millimeter-wave and Terahertz array antenna;
- Array antenna based on gap waveguide;
- Arrays for satellite communications;
- Innovative array antennas for 5G and B5G applications.
We 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.
