Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to announce this Special Issue on the Theory, Methods and Applications of Electromagnetic Scattering. Modern telecommunication systems, radio links, monitoring systems, environmental sensors, radars, and mobile devices must all operate in complex scenarios where knowledge of electromagnetic propagation and scattering phenomena is mandatory for their function in different complex environments or to acquire different environmental physical parameters. Moreover, new biomedical systems aimed at acquiring and monitoring biological parameters offer different services that expect a high degree of knowledge in terms of interaction and electromagnetic propagation.
These systems must be integrated into the new generation of communication devices able to offer, in addition to the usual standard services of previous systems, ultra-broadband internet connection, IP telephony, mobile web access, data postprocessing, data storage, and other interesting applications (such as the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to manage and process data). At the same time, they should not produce electromagnetic compatibility problems. In such a framework, the study of electromagnetic propagation and scattering in complex scenarios is mandatory for the development of modern systems that make use of electromagnetic waves for the detection and direct and indirect measure of suitable environmental and biological physical quantities.
In this framework, the use of microwave bands is mandatory to dramatically improve the performance of these systems. These device types are commonly used in several fields of application such as environmental and structural engineering monitoring, precision agriculture, pollution monitoring, inverse or direct scattering, and other practical and interesting applications. The objective of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of the current research on electromagnetic propagation and scattering, highlight the latest developments and innovations, and identify new challenges and opportunities of applications.
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles and reviews. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Inverse microwave imaging applications.
- Microwave tomograpy for stroke and early tumor detection (brain and breast).
- Measurement systems and dosimeters.
- Antenna design.
- Electromagnetic propagation in complex media.
- Electromagnetic propagation in plasma.
- Underwater and underground electromagnetic propagation.
- Landsmine detection systems.
- Lifesignal detection systems.
- Industrial NDE/NDT.
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.
