Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of microwave sensing systems has received growing interest in recent years. Identifying/localizing UHF RFID tags, measurement of physical properties, or radar imaging are just some examples of their current applications. Microwave systems are insensitive to dust, allow non-line-of-sight applications, and often allow for easier and less expensive integration. Steadily increasing frequencies, more powerful signal processors, and higher integration densities have recently opened up new possibilities in scientific, production, logistics, and medical applications.
This Special Issue aims to present original research and review articles on recent advances, technologies, solutions, applications, and new challenges in the field of microwave sensing.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Microwave based positioning/localization;
- Radio frequency identification (RFID)-based sensors;
- Microwave material characterization;
- Distributed/cooperative sensing;
- Antennas for microwave sensing;
- Ultra-wideband (UWB) sensing;
- Radar systems;
- Microwave sensing circuits;
- Sensor fusion in microwave sensing applications;
- Calibration techniques;
- Integration of microwave sensors;
- Microwave imaging techniques;
- Joint sensing and communications;
- Spectral sharing concepts.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
