Sensors and Sensing Technologies for Design and Application in Antenna Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

As transducers couple between signals on a transmission line and an electromagnetic wave in free space, antennas play a very important role in modern commercial wireless communication and broadcasting systems, such as radio, television, cellular, and satellite. They have also been widely used in various defense systems, such as aircrafts, ships, and armored vehicles for communication and radar applications. In recent years, various antennas have been developed for advanced technologies such as 5G/6G mobile communication; Internet of Things (IoT); radio frequency identification (RFID); remote sensing; wireless power transmission; energy harvesting; microwave/terahertz imaging; connected car (V2X); automotive radar; and wearable devices. In addition, as more IoT technologies based on sensors and sensing technologies are applied to real life, the adaptation of antenna technologies for sensors and sensing applications has become increasingly important. The purpose of this Special Issue is to present recent sensors and sensing technologies for design and application in antenna engineering. All researchers in the field are invited to contribute their original and unpublished works. Both research and review papers are welcome.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• microwave antennas/sensors;
• chipped and chipless RFID sensor tags or systems;
• wireless sensor networks and IoT;
• wearable and implantable sensors;
• energy harvesting and wireless power transfer;
• radar antennas/sensors;
• sensor antennas;
• automotive sensors.

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.
