Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wireless communication technologies continue to advance rapidly to support a wide range of applications, including next-generation mobile networks, sensing systems, and emerging intelligent platforms. Antennas and microwave technologies play a fundamental role in enabling modern wireless communications, from physical-layer hardware to system-level performance.
This Special Issue aims to present recent research and developments in antennas and microwave technologies for wireless communications. It covers theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies related to antennas, microwave and RF components, propagation and channel modeling, signal processing, and wireless system implementation. Contributions addressing both established and emerging wireless technologies and applications are welcome.
The objective of this Special Issue is to provide a broad forum for researchers and practitioners to share innovative ideas, methodologies, and practical solutions that contribute to the advancement of wireless communication systems.

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.
