Microwave Devices Design and Application

Dear Colleagues:

James Clerk Maxwell was the first to predict the existence of invisible electromagnetic waves in 1865 using his famous formulas called “Maxwell’s equations”. For the first time, Heinrich Hertz demonstrated the existence of such electromagnetic waves by building an apparatus that produced and detected microwaves in the ultra-high-frequency region in 1888. Hertz’s experiment validated Maxwell’s prediction, but he did not see any practical applications for these invisible waves. Later work by others led to the invention of wireless communications based on microwaves. The microwave frequency range covers a broad spectrum from megahertz up to terahertz regimes. Although the primary application of microwave technology has been wireless communications, new technologies and applications have evolved over time. At present, microwave technology covers a broad range of applications including wireless communications, radar systems, wireless sensing and detection, biomedical health monitoring, etc. This Special Issue will to cover the recent findings and advances in the theory and design of microwave devices and components.

The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Passive components (filters, couplers, transitions, waveguides, etc.);
• Active components (amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, etc.);
• RF packaging and package modelling;
• RF MEMS and microsystems;
• Microwave, millimeter-wave, and terahertz systems;
• Radar, SAR, and microwave imaging;
• Emerging areas (nanotechnology, biomedical applications, etc.);
• Wireless and cellular architectures, circuits, and components;
• Transmitter components;
• Receiver components;
• Antennas and phased arrays;
• MIMO antennas;
• Sensors and RFID;
• Signal generation and modulation circuits;
• Wireless power transfer.

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.
