Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Antennas Design for Sensing Applications

Dear Colleagues,

As a key part of wireless communication systems, antenna performance can affect the connectivity of wireless communication. Therefore, novel approaches are needed to design more advanced antennas to adapt to the changing standards of wireless communication systems.

In order to meet the demands of increased data rates with low latency as well as wide coverage, 5G communication systems use both microwave and millimeter wave bands. Although some microwave and millimeter wave antenna design techniques, such as antenna miniaturization, array optimization, and bandwidth enhancement, have been extensively studied in the past,, due to the size and geometry of the antenna, this research is more limited in small devices. New microwave and millimeter wave antenna technologies need to be sought to meet the standards of future 5G and 6G communication systems.

This Special Issue will focus on the advanced research of antenna design for microwave and millimeter-wave sensing applications. Researchers are welcome to publish original research on the latest findings related to design methods of antennas such as (not an exhaustive list):

• Antenna arrays and beamforming;
• Millimeter-wave antennas;
• Manufacturing error characterization;
• Metasurface-based antennas;
• On-chip antennas;
• Antenna in package;
• Antenna malnutrition;
• Antenna optimization;
• Body area networks;
• Novel fabrication techniques.

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.
