Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on microwave/millimeter-wave devices and metasurfaces, a rapidly evolving field pivotal to 5G/6G communication, intelligent sensing, imaging, and aerospace applications. As emerging technologies demand broadband, miniaturization, and multifunctionality, microwave/millimeter-wave devices (e.g., antennas, filters, and amplifiers) and metasurfaces (with feasible electromagnetic responses) have become core enablers. We aim to showcase cutting-edge research on device design optimization, metasurface-based wave manipulation, integration technologies, performance validation, and real-world deployments. We warmly invite you to submit original research that advances theoretical foundations, technical innovations, and application prospects in this field. Your insights will enrich academic discourse and drive industrial progress. This Special Issue will showcase high-impact work from global experts, offering a comprehensive view of current trends and future directions. We hope it serves as a valuable platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and inspiration.

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.
