Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advances in frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar based on complementary metal oxide semiconductors make it possible to design low-cost and low-power millimeter-wave (mmW) sensors. The application of the miniaturized, lightweight, and inexpensive mmW radar sensor is gradually expanding, mainly including target detection and tracking, object recognition and classification, the performance of vital signs, the combination of mmW radar and communication, the small synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and the holographic 3-D imaging. Due to the similarity of wireless communication and radar systems, MIMO radar uses multiple antennas to transmit orthogonal waveforms and multiple antennas to receive at the same time. After flexible signal processing, the performance of radar imaging, target detection, and parameter estimation can be significantly improved.

The main topics of this review and original research papers focus on the implementation basis and various applications of mmW MIMO radar, including but not limited to orthogonal waveform design, target detection and recognition, high-resolution SAR imaging, and moving target indication.

This Special Issue solicits original papers that contribute to the scientific community with solid ideas that have not been published before and are not under review by other journals or conferences. Theoretical investigations simulations, and practical experiments are welcome.

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.
