Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to progress in the development of communication systems, it is now possible to develop low-cost wearable communication systems. Wearable antennas are antennas incorporated into clothing or worn close to the body. Wearable antennas are used for communication, IoT, 5G, and medical applications, which include tracking and navigation, mobile computing, and public health and safety. Examples include smartwatches (with integrated Bluetooth antennas), glasses (such as Google Glass with Wi-Fi and GPS antennas), GoPro action cameras (with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth antennas), and sensors to monitor patient health. Wearable antennas are increasingly common in consumer electronics and for healthcare and medical applications. However, the development of compact, efficient wearable antennas is one of the major challenges in the development of wearable communication and medical systems. Wearable medical sensors can monitor and check on patients. Continuous analysis of measured medical data of a large number of patients may result in a better online low-cost medical treatment. Technologies such as printed compact antennas, metamaterial antennas, fractal antennas, and miniaturization techniques have been developed to create efficient small wearable antennas, and they are the main topic of 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 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.
