Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The antenna arrays have allowed the evolution of many communication systems. This technology permits to modification of the radiation pattern properties for better signal reception. During the last decades around the world, many researchers have investigated the design of antenna arrays for lots of applications such as automobiles, cellular, satellites, military, medical, agriculture and so on. Mainly, the design of antenna arrays considers many aspects such as type of the elements, size, mutual coupling, bandwidth, feeding network and so on. These aspects are very important to the development of modern systems. Much research is still not discovered, and because of that, we invite researchers from both industry and academia to contribute to the state of the art in antenna arrays for modern wireless systems. The papers should consider, but not be limited to, the following topics:
- Antenna array synthesis for pencil, multiple and shaped beams
- Optimization methods for arrays
- Narrowband, ultrawideband and dual-band arrays
- Time-domain arrays
- Time-modulated arrays
- Frequency diversity arrays
- Phased Arrays
- Spatial Non-Uniform Arrays
- Virtual arrays
- Dual and circular polarized arrays
- Energy harvesting arrays
- Beamforming techniques
- Mutual coupling reduction techniques
- Miniaturized array techniques
- Measurement array techniques

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. Applied Sciences 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.
