Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As the technology for ocean development advances, underwater acoustic communication and detection technology has been widely used in marine environmental monitoring, marine resource development, and underwater vehicle/manned submersible operations. However, underwater acoustic channels have complex characteristics of time–space–frequency variation. To overcome the impact of adverse underwater acoustic channel conditions, it is necessary to explore and develop many technologies. Therefore, in order to promote the development of underwater acoustic communication and detection, we are organizing a Special Issue on underwater acoustic communication and detection, inviting experts and scholars to share their research results, the latest developments in this field, and prospects for future development.

High-quality papers related to various aspects of underwater acoustic communication and detection technology are encouraged for publication, particularly in the following areas.

  • Underwater acoustic communication and detection;
  • Underwater acoustic signal processing;
  • Sonar system design and implementation;
  • Doppler estimation and compensation;
  • Channel estimation and equalization;
  • Intelligent information processing;
  • Signal modulation and demodulation.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
