Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microwave/millimeter-wave antennas with a broad bandwidth, small size, capability of covering various wireless services, and a reduction in the required antenna elements number play a significant role in smart handheld, portable device, biomedical, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The printed structures with a minimized profile, low complexity, low weight, high availability, easy fabrication, and integration are a suitable candidate for modern communications. Recently, many printed antennas have been introduced by incorporating different shapes and sizes of gaps, slits, arms, slots, sleeves, and metamaterial-based structures in the ground plane, radiating resonator, and feed line. Miniaturized printed antennas with minimized dimensions are more suitable for integration in modern applications with limited space as well as in diversity and MIMO structures that use several single antenna elements to enhance the performance.
This Special Issue seeks papers on new developments or advances in microwave/millimeter-wave devices and antennas.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.

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 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. 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 2600 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.
