Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of 6G mobile communication technology, mobile wireless communications will face increasing requirements. Mobile terminal antennas, which act as sensors for mobile terminals to perceive electromagnetic waves, face challenges such as increasing demand for communication frequency bands, continuous reduction in available antenna space, and an increase in the number of antennas. The purpose of this Special Issue is to discuss the latest research results in multiband mobile terminal antennas. Researchers working in related areas are invited to submit original contributions. Topics of interest include but are not limited to multiband antennas, multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antennas, antenna decoupling, millimeter wave antennas, satellite communication antennas, other advanced antennas for mobile wireless communication, and associated over-the-air testing techniques.
This Special Issue highlights research on mobile terminal antennas—as critical sensors in mobile wireless communications—including novel design methodologies, technological advances, and emerging applications.

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.
