Microwave and Millimeter Wave Antenna Sensors: Architectures, Applications and Challenges

Dear Colleagues,

The fast proliferation of antenna-based sensors have been employed in every industry sector, including consumer electronics, information technology, automotive, health, and telecommunications. They are also essential for developments in environment monitoring, agroforestry, digital agriculture, aquaculture, and other fields. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the demand for microwave or millimeter wave antenna sensors for such applications. Several design challenges are associated with the design of microwave and millimeter wave antenna sensors such as antenna architecture and miniaturization, operating frequency bands, ease fabrication, smaller footprint, low cost, ease of integration, high sensitivity, accuracy, and antenna measurement. This Special Issue intends to present advanced antenna sensors for microwave and millimeter wave applications. It mainly focuses on new antenna architecture, design methodologies, miniaturization techniques, and single and multi-functional operations.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Microwave and millimeter wave antenna;
• Substrate integrated waveguide antenna structures;
• Metamaterials and metasurface antenna sensors;
• Microstrip printed antenna techniques;
• Phased-array antenna design;
• Reconfigurable antenna structures;
• MIMO antenna design for wearable devices;
• Optimization and modeling;
• Dielectric characterization;
• Antenna measurement.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
