Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of fast, accurate, and reliable techniques for solving large-scale complex electromagnetic inverse scattering problems is a fundamental challenge because of its importance in several application scenarios, including biomedical imaging, subsurface prospecting, through-the-wall imaging, non-destructive testing and evaluation, and structural health monitoring. The relevance and interest of academic and industrial research in such areas is driven by several concurring factors, including increased availability of cost-effective data acquisition processes and measurement technologies, computing architectures suitable for large-scale processing, numerically efficient and robust computational microwave imaging methodologies exploiting original formulations, innovative information processing strategies, and new regularization techniques.
In this framework, this Special Issue is aimed at highlighting the challenges, current trends, and most recent advances in computational microwave imaging as applied to several non-invasive EM problems.

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.
