Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Millimeter-wave frequencies, 30–300 GHz, a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum less used today, have the potential to revolutionize wireless technology. This spectrum is very attractive due to the growing demand for higher data-rates in wireless communications, high-resolution radars, joint radar and communication systems, radiometers, and other emerging sensing applications.
This Special Issue thus aims to highlight recent developments in novel technologies in this broadband RF spectrum, with a particular focus on sub-THz coverage (100 GHz–300 GHz). Contributions may cover, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Novel system architectures and front-ends for various applications, as presented above;
- Development of integrated fabrication technologies (MMIC, MHMIC, SIW, …);
- Up- and down-conversion techniques: for example, the development of integrated mixers in terms of efficiency, size, conversion gain, broadband, local oscillator (LO) power reduction;
- Low-noise amplifiers: noise figure reduction, power consumption, gain, etc;
- Broadband power detectors, filters, multipliers, phase shifters, equalizers, and other ubiquitous modules;
- Integrated antennas in mm wave front-ends: reduced size, efficiency, gain, directivity;
- Mm wave signal generation techniques: low-cost, increased efficiency, frequency accuracy, low phase-noise, etc.;
- LO synchronization and carrier recovery techniques;
- Novel modulation and demodulation techniques;
- Measurement techniques and equipment.
In addition to theoretical aspects and related circuit and/or system simulations, measurements on fabricated prototypes are welcomed.

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.
