Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research into technologies that exploit electromagnetic fields within the frequency spectrum 300MHz–100GHz impacts many strategic sectors (aerospace, aeronautic, agriculture, astronomy, biomedical, environment, security, telecommunications, transport, etc.). New advances have made the previously unused terahertz (THz) band (100GHz to 30THz) accessible for several applications (imaging, weapons detection in airports, product inspection, material characterization, detection of cancer, etc.). Terahertz radiation is intrinsically safe, contrary to X-rays, and researchers around the world are racing to build the first practical THz communication system.
By increasing the frequency range of a sensor, the system's resolution increases, but unwanted beam scattering and miniaturized elements complicate the situation. For such sensing applications, a high level of precision and a proper 2D cross-range resolution is required. Integrated and physical devices need to be developed to improve the strategic aspects of sensing and detection. Agile Millimeter and Terahertz subsystems including propagation and circuit devices are one notable means to achieve a desired function for sensing. Theory, design, fabrication, measurement, and real-world scenarios are required for such applications.
This collection of research articles and reviews ponders the potential of these cutting-edge technologies, highlighting their contributions to fields such as telecommunications, imaging, sensing, and material characterization. The aim is to establish quick turnarounds for engineering applications related to sensing and detection. Scientific reports about devices on the latest propagation techniques, scattering and interference modules, as well as sensing circuits in the frequency spectrum are welcome 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. 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.
