Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Signal processing plays a pivotal role in the functionality and enhancement of radio systems, encompassing a wide range of applications such as telecommunications, broadcasting, radar, and navigation systems. These technologies rely on advanced signal processing techniques to ensure efficient communication, accurate data transmission, and reliable system performance. For instance, in modern telecommunications, signal processing is crucial for modulating and demodulating signals, managing bandwidth, and mitigating interference. In radar systems, signal processing enables accurate target detection and tracking, while in navigation systems, it ensures precise positioning and timing. The continuous advancement of signal processing methodologies has led to significant improvements in the quality, speed, and efficiency of radio systems. From enhancing mobile network capacity and reliability in 5G and beyond to improving the resolution and accuracy of radar imaging, the applications of signal processing are vast and varied.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in signal processing for radio systems, bringing together cutting-edge research and fostering a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities in this field.
Research topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Signal Processing Techniques for Communication Systems:
- Modulation and demodulation techniques;
- Channel coding and decoding;

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. Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1600 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.
