Innovative Millimeter-Wave Dielectric Resonator Antennas for 5G/6G

Dear Colleagues,

Millimeter-wave dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs) play an increasingly important role in modern 5G and emerging 6G communication systems, offering high radiation efficiency, low loss, compact size, and flexible design possibilities. Advances in novel dielectric materials, innovative resonator geometries, array configurations, and reconfigurable structures have significantly expanded their applications in high-frequency wireless systems.

This Special Issue aims to collect cutting-edge research on millimeter-wave DRA technologies, including theoretical modeling, design optimization, fabrication techniques, and experimental validation. Submissions focusing on innovative DRA designs, hybrid and integrated structures, array implementations for beamforming or MIMO, and applications in 5G/6G networks are particularly encouraged.

Topics of interest include the following:

• Single- and multi-band DRAs;
• Wideband and high-gain designs;
• Material innovations and performance evaluation under practical propagation scenarios.

We warmly invite researchers from both academia and industry worldwide to contribute their latest findings. Our goal is to showcase pioneering work that advances the development and practical deployment of millimeter-wave dielectric resonator antennas.

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. Microwave is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
