Advancements and Applications of Millimeter Wave and Terahertz Vacuum Electronic Devices

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, numerous technological breakthroughs have been achieved in millimeter wave and terahertz components, sources, detectors, sensors, and related applications. Millimeter wave and terahertz technologies have been brought from laboratory demonstrations to industrial applications, such as non-destructive inspection and testing, security scanning, electromagnetic biology effect, medical imaging, disease diagnostics, recognition of protein structural states, measurement techniques for materials science and characterization, monitoring of ultrafast dynamics, short-range communications, etc. In order to support more emerging applications, efforts are being made around the world to continuously develop technologies, with a focus on radiation sources, detectors, sensors, imaging arrays, spectrometers, system integrations, and so on.

Therefore, this Special Issue aims to collect original research and review articles focused on the latest research advances, applications, and new challenges in the field of millimeter wave and terahertz radiation sources, detectors, sensors, and imaging. We encourage authors to submit original manuscripts, focusing on the topics listed in the following keywords.

(1) new technologies using millimeter and terahertz waves for sensing and imaging;

(2) millimeter and terahertz non-destructive testing (NDT);

(3) terahertz and millimeter wave technology for materials research;

(4) terahertz and millimeter wave measurement systems;

(5) terahertz sources, detectors, and sensors.

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.
