State-of-the-Art Technologies in Microwave Sensors

Dear Colleagues,

It’s been a while that microwave sensors have been employed in various applications, from agriculture and environmental monitoring to the biomedical industry. The basis of their operation is benefited from the nature of electromagnetic wave interaction with different media, namely, non-destructive sensing, thereby enabling sensing and measuring various targets.

Development in microwave sensing techniques includes novel deployment of planar passive resonant elements (e.g. SRR/CSRR), substrate integrated waveguide, antenna, active component, imprinted polymer, doppler radar sensor, whispering gallery mode, lab-on-chip platform, and more recently, intriguing application of artificial neural network in pursuit of smart sensors. Ever-growing investigations on these methodologies are tied with additional challenges in modern industry, whereas low cost and flexibility in design urge delving into more sophisticated and efficient architectures.

This special issue of State-of-Art Technologies in Microwave Sensors focuses on the latest updates in developing microwave sensors and sensing systems that aim to resolve the problems associated with emerging sensing techniques, possibly its integration with sensing network at a higher system level, and enabling demanding and impactful 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.
