Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Waveform diversity array (WDA) radar employs multiple transmitting antennas, each transmitting signals that differ in space, time, frequency, polarization, and modulation mode. These differences enhance the radar system's degrees of freedom, overcoming the limitations of traditional radar in terms of target positioning and identification. WDA represents a revolutionary breakthrough in radar technology.
WDA radar offers simultaneous solutions for various challenges encountered in complex electromagnetic environments. It effectively addresses issues such as anti-mainlobe interference, unambiguous parameter estimation, high-resolution wide swath imaging, multi-dimensional domain feature extraction, and target recognition. In the complex modern battlefield environments, WDA provides a new and precise approach to target location and recognition.
This Special Issue focuses on the latest advancements in WDA radar technology specifically tailored to precise target location and recognition in complex battlefield environments.

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.
