Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the Section Electronic Sensors is now compiling a third edition of paper collections submitted by the Section’s Editorial Board Members (EBMs), as well as outstanding scholars in this research field. We welcome both contributions and recommendations from the EBMs.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish a set of papers that typify the very best insightful and influential original research articles or reviews in which our Section’s EBMs discuss key topics in the field. We expect these papers to be widely read and highly influential. All papers in this Special Issue will be collected into a printed edition book after the deadline, and will be well promoted.
We would also like to take this opportunity to call on more scholars to join the Section Electronic Sensors, so that we can work together to further develop this exciting field of research. Potential topics for submission include, but are not limited to, the following:
Electronic Sensors, Devices and Systems:
- Current/voltage/impedance sensors, magnetic sensors, acoustic sensors, image sensors, photodetectors, radars and radiometers, etc.
- Microelectronic sensors, mechatronics, microelectromechanical, MEMS, piezoelectric, piezoresistive, triboelectric, optoelectronic, thermoelectric, CMOS sensors, etc.
- Radiofrequency sensors, microchips, antennas, radio receivers and transmitters, PCB, etc.
Sensor Electronics:
- Sensor electronic interfaces, front-end electronics.
- Analog/digital/mixed/RF/integrated circuit design, readout circuits, rectifier circuits, VLSI circuits.
- Microwave and mm-wave circuits for sensors.
- SoC-based sensor electronics: FPGA, MCU, etc.
- Electronics for data acquisition and signal processing in relation to sensors and their operation.
- Models for sensor circuit simulation.
- Sensor characterization circuits and methods—hardware implementation and performance analysis.
Sensor Signal Processing:
- Analog signal processing: electronic circuits, radio, telephone, radar, and television systems.
- Digital signal processing: digital circuits, ASICs, FPGA, DSP chips.
- Audio, image, and video signal processing, compression and analysis.
- Wireless communications: statistical channel modeling, waveform generation, filtering, optimal receiver design, modulation and demodulation techniques.
- Array processing: sensors; antennas, radar, sonar, acoustic, anti-jamming and wireless communications; seismic exploration.
- Signal quality improvement: noise reduction, image enhancement, and echo cancelation.
- Computer vision: pattern recognition, digital geometry, and signal processing.
Potential Applications:
- Electrical power and energy systems, self-powered sensors, low-power devices, power amplifiers, energy harvesting, thermoelectric generators, etc.
- Semiconductor devices.
- Advanced electromechanical systems and control applications.
- Electronic packaging.

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-anonymized 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.
