Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, there has been a lot of interest in resonator- and metamaterial-based technologies which are distinguished by the outstanding power to manipulate, localize, and enhance electromagnetic fields. With these properties it has been possible to make incredibly small high-performance components in a very broad spectrum of microwave, millimeter-wave, and terahertz applications. Resonant structures and engineered metamaterials provide opportunities that are unique in achieving ultra-sensitive sensors, filtering high selectivity, polarization converters, and frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) and hence meet the rising requirements of next-generation communication, industrial, and biomedical systems. 

We are very pleased to announce that this Special Issue is titled Advanced Resonators and Metamaterials in High-Sensitivity Sensing and Frequency-Selective Systems, and is devoted to publication of the latest advances in the booming field, as well as to the experimental work and theoretical research. The contributions are directed at the realization of advanced resonant designs, metamaterial based designs and hybrid electromagnetic designs with key concerns of miniaturization, multi-band, temperature stability, and tolerance to fabrication. 

Special attention is paid to such new areas like complementary split-ring resonators (CSRRs), defected ground structures (DGSs), spoof surface plasmon (SSP) resonators, metasurfaces, and tunable or reconfigurable devices. Research that uses artificial intelligence, machine learning, and additive manufacturing to streamline sensor performance and design processes are also of great importance to this problem. 

The articles gathered in this Special Issue demonstrate new methods towards dielectric characterization, non-destructive testing, chemical and biological detection, and frequency-selective filtering, and as such the on-going adoption of resonator-based and metamaterial-inspired technology into industrial, communication, and biomedical applications. These contributions combine to help in the development of the basic knowledge and the engineering application of resonant and metamaterial technologies to high-sensitivity as well as high-selectivity electromagnetic 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. Technologies is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
