Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, wireless patient monitoring technologies have been gaining more attention due to their ease of application in diagnosis and medical procedures. Both deep-implant and skin-implant devices are useful in the identification of various diseases, and antennas are an integral part of these devices. Compact and high-performance antennas are not only helpful in device miniaturization, but also in ensuring accurate medical analysis. This Special Issue, “Miniaturized Implantable Devices for Wireless Applications”, focuses on the latest advancements in implantable antennas for both skin and deep implants. This Special Issue covers a range of topics, including Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) implantable antennas, Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) implantable antennas, novel decoupling techniques in MIMO implantable antennas, and implantable antenna gain-enhancement techniques.

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. Micromachines 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 2100 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.
