Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid evolution of wireless communication systems, 5G/6G networks, and emerging applications in autonomous systems, IoT, and satellite communications has intensified the demand for advanced microwave and millimeter-wave (mmWave) devices and semiconductor devices. These technologies rely on high-frequency circuits and components that operate under nonlinear regimes, necessitating precise characterization, modeling, and design methodologies. This Special Issue focuses on addressing critical challenges in nonlinear device and semiconductor device characterization and modeling, large-signal nonlinear measurement techniques, and mmWave circuit design, which are pivotal for enabling next-generation high-performance systems.
Submissions are invited to explore innovative approaches for improving the accuracy of nonlinear models, advancing time/frequency-domain measurement systems (e.g., NVNA, LSNA), and developing mmWave circuits (e.g., power amplifiers, mixers, antennas) that overcome limitations in efficiency, bandwidth, and thermal stability. Contributions may also address emerging trends such as AI/ML-driven modeling, 3D-integrated mmWave systems, and the integration of wide-bandgap semiconductors. Both theoretical and experimental studies are encouraged to bridge gaps between simulation, measurement, and real-world performance.
This Issue aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, highlighting breakthroughs that enhance the reliability and scalability of high-frequency devices for cutting-edge applications.
We 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 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. 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.
