Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the Electronic Sensors Section is now compiling a second edition of feature papers submitted by the Section Editorial Board Members (EBMs) as well as outstanding scholars in this research field. We welcome both contributions and recommendations from the EBMs.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish a set of the very best papers that are insightful and influential original research articles or reviews, where our Section’s EBMs discuss key topics in the field. We expect these papers to be widely read and highly influential within the field. All papers in this Special Issue will be collected into a printed-edition book after the deadline and will be well promoted.

We would also like to take this opportunity to call on more scholars to join the Electronic Sensors Section so that we can work together to further develop this exciting field of research. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

Electronic sensors, devices and systems.

Current/voltage/impedance sensors, magnetic sensors, acoustic sensors, image sensors, photodetectors, radars and radiometers, etc.

Microelectronic sensors, mechatronics, microelectromechanical sensors, MEMS, piezoelectric sensors, piezoresistive sensors, triboelectric sensors, optoelectronic sensors, thermoelectric sensors, CMOS sensors, etc.

Radiofrequency sensors, microchips, antennas, radio receivers and transmitters, PCB, etc.

Sensor electronics.

Sensor electronic interfaces and front-end electronics.

Analog/digital/mixed/RF/integrated circuit design, readout circuits, rectifier circuits, and VLSI circuits.

Microwave and mm-wave circuits for sensors.

SoC-based sensor electronics: FPGA, MCU, etc.

Electronics for data acquisition and signal processing in relation to sensors and their operation.

Models for sensor circuit simulation.

Sensor characterization circuits and methods—hardware implementation and performance analysis.

Sensor signal processing.

Analog signal processing: electronic circuits, radio, telephone, radar, and television systems.

Digital signal processing: digital circuits, ASICs, FPGA, and DSP chips.

Audio, image, and video signal processing, and its compression and analysis.

Wireless communications: statistical channel modeling, waveform generation, filtering, optimal receiver design, and modulation and demodulation techniques.

Array processing: sensors; antenna, radar, sonar, acoustic, anti-jamming and wireless communications; and seismic exploration.

Signal quality improvement: noise reduction, image enhancement, and echo cancellation.

Computer vision: pattern recognition, digital geometry, and signal processing.

Potential 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 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.

The growing population of wild boars (Sus scrofa) in all highly anthropized countries represents a current challenge for the protection of ecosystems, agriculture and urban environments. This study introduces an innovative capture solution based on IoT systems designed to enable the selective capture of sub-adult wild boars in an ethical manner and minimize stress and bycatch. Conducted over five years in a Natura 2000 area in Campania, Italy, the research integrates advanced technologies, including AI-based infrared cameras, LoRa communication and autonomous feeding systems, to monitor, control and operate a specially designed selective cage trap. The results obtained demonstrate how technological innovation improves wildlife and hunting management by selecting younger animals without interfering with group dynamics. Selective capture ensures healthy population control, does not conflict with hunting and reduces pressure on habitats, especially if these fall within areas of particular importance for European biodiversity.
