Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
MDPI Photonics invites manuscript submissions in microwave photonic signal processing. A global challenge faced by modern RF systems is to develop new services covering a broad bandwidth with a limited available spectrum source. Thus, future RF systems need to have the cognition capability to interact with the environment. Microwave photonic signal processing refers to information transformation and joint processing techniques with microwave signals in the time, space, frequency, and power domains based on microwave photonics. Introducing microwave photonic signal processing to design and enable the next generation of cognitive systems is an emerging line of research. The purpose of this Special Issue of MDPI Photonics is to highlight the recent progress and trends in microwave photonic signal processing to develop the next generation of microwave-photonics-based radar, communication, and measurement systems and so on with cognitive ability. Areas of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Microwave-photonic-integrated circuits for signal processing;
- Time-frequency transformation techniques for microwave photonic signal processing;
- Novel applications of deep learning to microwave photonic signal processing;
- Novel microwave photonic signal processing techniques and the system applications in radar, communication, measurement systems, and so on;
- Microwave photonic signal sensing, generation, distribution, and processing techniques for cognitive systems.

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. Photonics 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 2400 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
