Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wireless communication has experienced immense growth in the past few years with the advent of IoT and is becoming an integral part of our daily life. This has resulted in wearable technology standing at the brink of a massive diversification with an explosion in popularity and applicability and an estimated market value of around $32 billion. Moreover, implantable devices are considered as one of the key enablers of smart health systems. Antennas are an integral part of these devices and play an important role in devising their performance. The ever-increasing demand for miniaturization along with mobility, power, data rate, bandwidth, and insensitivity to the human user makes antenna design very challenging for wearable and implantable applications. It requires innovative ideas and novel solutions for the antenna design. This Special Issue invites researchers to contribute original research articles as well as review articles that seek to address the issues of design and application of wearable and implantable antennas.

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 papers will be 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 1800 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.
