Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart sensors function as intelligent detectors of temperature, humidity, light, image, pressure, speed, acceleration, displacement, rotation, gas, ultrasound, flow, magnetic force, current, voltage, and so on. They are used more and more in industries with various applications requiring intelligent operations such as medical, health care, automobile, manufacture, agriculture, military, environment, and security. Smart sensors consist of not only a sensing element, but also a digital converter, like an analog-to-digital converter, time-to-digital converter, and frequency-to-digital converter; a digital signal processing block for canceling noise, compensating mismatch, offset, and bias, and calibrating nonlinear distortion; an energy harvester block for generating the power from heat, light, vibration, thermal difference, and electromagnetic waves, and a power management block for providing and distributing the appropriate power to the overall system. Thus, in addition to the materials and devices generally focused on sensing elements, integrated circuits and systems play a key role in developing and delivering smart sensors.
Topics of this special issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Voltage and current domain readout circuits
- Time and frequency domain readout circuits
- Digital signal processing for sensors
- Data storage systems
- Wireless and wireline data transceivers
- Energy harverster circuits
- Power management circuits

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. 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.
