Microwave Passive Components

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, devices and systems based on micro-, millimeter and terahertz waves are widely used in all aspects of life, such as 5G/6G communication, vehicle imaging radar, medical, bioscience, security, etc. As we know, microwave passive components play an important role in the design and applications of these devices and systems. The development of advanced machining technologies such as the Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS), 3D-printing, and micro-/nanomachining, machining accuracy and ability of passive components, especially, have been improved greatly. In addition, in the last two decades, novel concepts and mechanisms have been continually introduced or proposed from other fields, including meta-material, vortex electromagnetic wave and spoof surface plasmon. As a result, microwave passive devices/components have entered a new stage controlled by information coding. This means that the performance of microwave passive devices still has great potential in the future, and may contribute to the miniaturization and integration of RF circuits and devices. Therefore, this Special Issue, named “Microwave Passive Components”, was born. This Special Issue will accept research papers and review articles focusing on the theory, modeling, simulation, measurement and applications of passive components, circuits, devices and systems in the microwave, millimeter-wave and terahertz-wave bands.

I am looking forward to receiving your submissions and contributions to this Special Issue!

Guest Editor

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.
