Analog/Digital Mixed Circuit and RF Transceiver Design

Dear Colleagues,

Energy-limited wireless devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) are typically powered by batteries with a limited lifetime. Thus, low-power RF circuit design with RF energy-harvesting (EH) technologies are essential in IoT devices to increase their lifetime. Further, low-power sensor signal conditioning circuits and low-power converters (ADC/DAC) need to be designed to process data from multiple sensors. High-efficiency power management circuits such as DC–DC converters and LDO regulators are integrated today.

The main aim of this Special Issue is to seek high-quality submissions that highlight emerging applications and address recent breakthroughs in low-power RF transceivers, high data rate 5G RF transceivers, RF energy harvesting, wireless power transfer, low-power data converters, and high-efficiency power management IC.

The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Low-power IoT RF transceivers;
• Ultralow power wake-up receivers;
• RF energy harvesting;
• Wireless power transfer;
• High data rate 5G RF transceivers;
• Low-power ADC;
• Low-power DAC;
• High-efficiency DC–DC converters;
• High-efficiency LDO regulators.

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.
