Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Spaceborne microwave and millimeter-wave radiometers and scatterometers remain among the most valuable tools for accurate global measurements of the Earth's land, ocean surface, and atmospheric properties and processes. Numerical weather prediction and climate monitoring have, in the past 30+ years, come to depend on these sensors. At the same time, radio frequency and digital technologies have emerged which pose both a threat—from radio frequency inter inference (RFI)—and an opportunity in the form of new low-power RF and signal processing hardware with ever-greater capabilities at lower costs. In this Special Issue, we invite papers to discuss technology and engineering trends pertaining to the design and calibration of these sensors. Suggested subjects include, but are not limited to lightweight deployable antennas, RF topologies and internal calibrator circuitry, multiply redundant calibration schemes, and digital back-end designs.

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. Remote Sensing 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 2700 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.
