Advances in Radar Technology for Remote Sensing
This special issue belongs to the section “Microwave and Wireless Communications“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue intends to present scholarly papers that address advances in radar technology for remote sensing purposes.
In the last two decades, radars have become one of the most important instruments for remote sensing in several fields, from monitoring vast regions to borehole inspection.
Radar technology is evolving very quickly, and we are likely close to changes in remote sensing paradigms. Nowadays, there are several open challenges related to emerging radar technologies. For example, multiple-input multiple-output radar could improve acquisition time; radar operating at high frequencies could reduce the sizes of sensors; unmanned aerial vehicles could be used to cover the gaps between satellites and terrestrial radar; and three-dimensional radar could be used to monitor crucial infrastructure such as tunnels.
This Special Issue aims to collect and present advances in the following topics:
- Radar techniques for remote sensing;
- Ground-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR);
- Interferometric radar;
- Multiple-input multiple-output radar;
- Unmanned aerial system-borne radar;
- High-frequency radar;
- Three-dimensional imaging radar;
- Ground-penetrating radar;
- Space-borne SAR;
- Aerial-borne SAR.
You are invited to submit your high-quality manuscripts 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.
