Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photonics-based radar uses microwave photonic techniques to generate, process and transmit broadband radar signals. It has attracted lots of attention because of its advantages in achieving high-resolution radar detection and imaging. Previously, photonics-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR), phased array radar, and multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) radar, and distributed radar have been successfully demonstrated, showing great potential in enhancing the radar performance. In this special issue, we are interested in articles that explore photonics-based radar system and key technologies. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Photonics-based radar waveform generation
- Photonics-based broadband microwave signal processing
- Optical true time delay technique and phased array radar
- Photonics-based distributed radar and application
- Other novel photonics-based radar systems and applications

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.
