Wearable Antennas

Dear Colleagues,

With the growth of wearable technology, many wireless devices are being developed for applications such as biomedical health monitoring systems, body area networks, wireless sports monitoring, and Internet of Things sensors. Over the past decade, research effort has focused on finding better materials and fabrication technologies for wearable antennas. Antenna performance under wearing conditions such as stretching, crumpling, humidity, and the effects of the human body has been investigated.

In this Special Issue, we invite researchers to share their work on wearable antennas for wireless communication and wireless power transfer. We encourage submissions on areas related to:

• Textile antennas;
• Flexible microstrip and printed antennas;
• 3D printed antennas;
• Epidermal antennas;
• Wearable antennas testing and measurements;
• Wearable antennas fabrication technology;
• On-body communication channel propagation modelling and measurement;
• Origami wearable antennas;
• Wearable antenna safety and regulations;
• Wearable antennas for wireless power transfer; and
• Connector design for wearable antennas.

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.
