Emerging Trends in Antenna Engineering for Land and Space Communications

Dear Colleagues,

With this Special Issue, we intend to present scholarly papers that address antenna engineering for land and space communications. Antennas play a vital role in receiving and sending radio waves so as to achieve the transmission and reception of signals. Engineering systems such as radio communication, radio, television, radar, navigation, electronic countermeasures, remote sensing, radio astronomy, etc., rely on antennas to produce electromagnetic waves to transmit information. The design and performance of antennas directly affect the performance and reliability of communication systems. In this Special Issue, we aim to define and discuss the different types of antennas in both single and array configurations for various applications within microwave, millimeter-waves, and terahertz spectrums. Therefore, the main aim of this Special Issue is to seek high-quality submissions that highlight emerging applications and address recent breakthroughs in the design of antenna systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Multi-beam antenna technologies for wireless communications;
• Beam scanning antennas for radar systems;
• Millimeter wave (mmWave) and THz antennas for wireless communications;
• Compact antenna arrays for massive MIMO systems;
• Wide-band conformal antenna and arrays;
• Phased array antenna for radar systems;
• Substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) antennas;
• Leaky-wave antennas.

Therefore, we sincerely invite experimental researchers and theorists to submit high-quality manuscripts for publication in 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.
