Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, wireless technology is growing faster than ever. This evolution is imposing a rising demand for the development of the area of antennas and propagation. Antennas are paramount components of wireless systems; hence, extensive research is required on antenna technology development. Although antennas play an imperative role in wireless systems, in most cases, they occupy considerable space in a system. Based on their application and other constraints, substantial consideration is required for antenna design, such as size, weight, cost, power and operating environment, structure, etc. As these devices are becoming more and more compact with additional functionality, antenna miniaturization, wideband, multiband and multibeam applications are gaining significant interest. State-of-the-art antenna technology can support the development of advanced wireless systems.
The focus of this Special Issue is to showcase the state-of-the-art progress in antennas and propagation areas. This Special Issue will cover innovative antenna technologies to support the development of advanced wireless systems, including, but not limited to, the following areas:
- Planar antennas;
- Antennas for handheld devices;
- Beam-steering antennas;
- High-gain antennas;
- Reconfigurable antennas;
- Antennas for 5G and beyond applications;
- Conformal antennas;
- Antennas and antenna array for RFID applications;
- 3D-printed antennas;
- Antenna miniaturization;
- Multi-function antennas and arrays;
- Antenna beamforming;
- Flexible antennas.

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.
