Biomedical Applications of Micro/Millimeter Waves

This special issue belongs to the section “Microwave and Wireless Communications“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, microwaves and millimeter waves are gaining increasing interest in the biomedical field as a minimally or completely non-invasive technique for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. The non-ionizing nature of this type of radiation, the availability of affordable instrumentation, as well as the fundamental dielectric contrast between healthy and diseased tissues, are some of the drivers that are motivating research in this direction. The increasingly dense literature of results is a clear sign of the possibilities offered by microwaves in the medical field.

In this Special Issue, we would like to highlight the main achievements of research in this area, highlighting also the challenges still to be faced and the infinite possibilities still to be explored for the use of microwaves in the biomedical field. We invite you and your research team to submit your high-quality manuscript for publication in this Special Issue.

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.
