Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past few years, significant research efforts have been directed toward the development of antennas, focusing on key parameters such as wide and multiple frequency coverage, compact size, energy efficiency, and ease of integration. Advanced antenna configurations like MIMO, phased arrays, and adaptive antennas play a crucial role in enhancing system capacity through beamforming, smart signal processing, and adaptive techniques to meet the demands of next-generation wireless networks. Innovations in antenna design contribute to the development of advanced sensing capabilities, particularly in applications like IoT, wireless networks, and wireless sensor networks.
This Special Issue aims to cover advances and developments in antennas for wireless communication systems. We invite researchers to submit original research or review papers addressing topics such as, but not limited to, the following:
Antenna design;
Antenna miniaturization;
MIMO and phased arrays;
AI-powered antennas;
Beamforming techniques;
Adaptive and smart antennas;
Wearable and flexible antennas;
Metamaterial and metasurface antennas;
Reconfigurable and switchable antennas;
Antenna integration with emerging technologies.
Submissions should reflect high-quality research not previously published or submitted elsewhere. Extended versions of conference papers demonstrating significant improvements (at least 50%) may also be considered.

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.
