Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Designing user terminal antennas for 5G bands, mainly when the design includes several frequencies, is a must in the antenna research. New smartphone terminals, managing a variety of sub-6 GHz and millimeter wave frequencies, will arise in the market in the next semesters, and the antennas could be a bottleneck if their designs are not perfectly adapted to their application.
In parallel, and no less important, many research works focus on the design and construction of frequency selective surfaces. These elements provide control of the radio transparency of building materials, given the possibility of selective obstruction, and even blocking the radio waves propagating across them.
This Special Issue will present scholarly papers that address critical issues in the theory, design, manufacturing (use of new materials and manufacturing process), and measurements (such as fast near-field measurements) of both user terminal antennas and frequency selective surfaces at bands assigned to fifth generation networks.

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.
