Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metasurfaces are artificial ultra-thin metamaterials with two-dimensional structures, whose thickness is much smaller than the lateral dimensions. They are composed of subwavelength unit cells arranged on a specific plane. Metasurfaces can locally alter the amplitude, phase, and polarization of electromagnetic waves, fundamentally changing the way electromagnetic waves interact with matter. Therefore, metasurfaces have a significant impact on imaging, communication, sensing and radar applications. Motivated by these opportunities, this Special Issue of Sensors aims to provide a platform for the recent progress in advanced metasurface technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Metasurfaces for communication applications;
- Metasurfaces for radar detection;
- Metasurfaces for integrated sensing and communication;
- Programmable metasurfaces;
- Reconfigurable intelligent metasurface;
- Metasurface antennas for radars or communication;
- Metasense;
- Matasurface-based 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 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. 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.
