Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Self-similarity and space-filling properties of fractal geometry have been very useful in the antenna and microwave engineering to design multiband antennas and arrays, small antennas and filters. Moreover, since the boom of metamaterials at the beginning of 2000, many designs have also been approached usign fractal geometries. In the optical domain, nano-antennas with fractal geometries have also been proposed.

It is interesting to look to the past and to the future to summarize research and development with fractals in antenna and microwave engineering, and, at the same time, to present the latest advances in the field.

The present Special Issue aims to gather papers in the field of fractal electrodynamics, applications of antennas and microwave circuits using fractal geometries, metamaterials and optical antennas with fractal designs. Papers with conceptual/theoretical approaches and experimental designs are welcomed.

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. Fractal and Fractional is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
