Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advancements in sensor and integrated circuit technologies, as well as wireless networking, have facilitated widespread use of smart wireless sensor instruments in various applications encompassing health science, clinical and experimental medicine, and environmental monitoring. New and promising developments in the areas of both transducer design and CMOS process technology have enabled rapid development in low-power smart sensor technology and wireless telemetry. With continuous scaling of CMOS process technologies, a high degree of miniaturization, of many classic measurement techniques, has been achieved, which has led to the realization of complex analytical systems, namely lab-on-a-chip. This new class of monolithic sensors has the potential for a broad range of applications, including biology, medicine, environment monitoring, and homeland security. The purpose of this Special Issue is to address on-going research activities in the design of transducers and the associated electronics, including wireless telemetry required for achieving smart wireless monolithic sensor instruments.
Original contributions are solicited from the following non-exhaustive list of topics:
- Low-power circuit design methodologies
- Transducer design for monolithic sensors
- Energy harvesting techniques for battery-less sensor instruments
- Power and energy management circuits and systems
- Circuits techniques for energy-efficient wireless communication
- Wireless smart sensor architecture and system-level design methodologies
- Low-power, intelligent and adaptive sensor signal processing for wireless sensors

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. Journal of Low Power Electronics and Applications is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1800 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.
