High-Sensitivity RFID Sensing: Enabling Smart IoT Applications

Dear Colleagues,

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to grow, there is an increasing need for sensors that are low-power, cost-effective, and able to operate without batteries. This Special Issue will focus on new developments in high-sensitivity RFID and backscatter sensing technologies, which are enhancing the practicality and efficiency of smart systems.

Recent advances in RFID and ambient backscatter have made it possible to design sensors that can function over longer distances, collect data with very low power, and communicate wirelessly without needing large batteries. These sensors are beneficial in many areas, including smart farming, environmental monitoring, healthcare, and smart cities.

We invite studies that explore new ideas in sensor hardware, wireless communication, system design, and real-world testing. Research that connects sensors with cloud services, machine learning, or energy harvesting is also welcome.

This Special Issue fits effectively within the scope of Sensors by highlighting technologies that improve how sensors collect and send data in modern IoT systems. The goal is to bring attention to practical, energy-efficient solutions for future sensing applications.

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.
