Design and Measurement of Integrated Antenna

Dear Colleagues,

Tens of billions of connected objects are going to fabricated in the next decade and will be driving a digital revolution, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0, and Smart Cities. Antennae will be a key element of the global performance of such a system. A smart and strong integration of the radiating element in the terminal is essential to enable low-cost, long-range, and robust wireless communication. This Special Issue will focus on techniques for the design and measurement of miniature and integrated antennae. Innovative design and fabrication methods based on characteristic modes, matching circuit, optimal current, reconfigurable radiating elements, new material, and 3D printed antennae are especially targeted. The Special Issue will also aim at contributions on new measurement techniques enabling cable-less antenna characterization or performance extraction in a real environment.

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.
