Multifunctional Antennas and Arrays for Future Wireless Communication Systems

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid evolution of wireless communication technology, 5G and 6G mobile communication has become one of the hottest topics in recent years. In some countries, the commercialization of 5G communication has already been carried out, as well as the initial research into further technologies such as 6G. Antennas, filters, amplifiers, mixers, and so forth are crucial components for the RF frontend for any future wireless communication devices and systems. However, most conventional designs have difficulty satisfying the stringent requirements of mobile communications regarding bandwidth, radiation pattern, size, and cost. Thus, the demand for different types of novel and high-performance antennas is increasing exponentially.

This Special Issue will propose and discuss the design of microwave and millimeter-wave antennas for future wireless communication systems. It will present the current state of the science for the most relevant problems in antennas, and search for novel efficient concepts and designs in antenna areas. It will also contribute to future wireless communication systems research in both academic and industrial areas. We invite investigators to submit original research articles to this Special Issue.

Potential submission topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Antennas for 5G wireless communications;
• Millimeter-wave antennas;
• Multi-beam antenna technologies;
• Antenna arrays technologies;
• Antenna measurements and simulations;
• Wearable antennas measurements and simulations;
• Wearable antennas for Future Wireless Communication Systems;
• Measurements of dielectric parameters of wearable antenna materials;
• Beamforming and smart antennas;
• Reconfigurable antennas for 5G/6G communications;
• Prototyping, measurements, and experimentation of 5G/6G antennas.

Submissions should be of high quality, suitable for an international journal, and should not have been submitted or published elsewhere. Finally, we welcome review papers that cover the subjects of this Special Issue.

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. Electronics 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 2400 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.
