Intelligent Sensor-Integrated Antenna Arrays for 5G and 6G Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid evolution of wireless communication systems, notably the advent of 5G and 6G networks, has transformed our lifestyle and work dynamics. Intelligent sensors, particularly large-scale antenna arrays capable of efficiently transmitting and receiving electromagnetic waves in complex propagation environments, have emerged as a pivotal component of these wireless systems.

The integration of intelligent sensors into antenna arrays for 5G and 6G applications has become a significant research area within mobile communication and radar systems. However, designing these intelligent antenna arrays poses several challenges, including the development of new mounting structures, handling multiple frequency bands, managing multibeam cooperation, miniaturization, cost-effectiveness, high efficiency, seamless integration, and quick measurements.

This Special Issue aims to delve into the advanced intelligent antenna arrays for 5G and 6G applications, with a primary focus on innovative array architecture, reconfigurable intelligence surfaces, integrated sensing and communication, and array pattern optimization in conjunction with intelligent sensor technologies.

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.
