Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue entitled "Application of Symmetry in Antenna Design" aims to explore the significant role of symmetry in advancing antenna design methodologies and applications. This Special Issue delves into the diverse utilization of symmetry principles in developing innovative antenna designs across various frequencies, including but not limited to microwave, millimeter-wave, and terahertz. The contributions focus on novel approaches, theoretical frameworks, and practical implementations highlighting the efficacy and advantages of employing symmetry in antenna design. This collection aspires to foster a deeper understanding of how symmetry-based concepts contribute to enhancing antenna performance, radiation characteristics, and overall efficiency in modern 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 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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
