Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In order to meet the requirements for higher data transfer rate in modern wireless communication systems, radio frequency frontends need higher working frequency, wider bandwidth, and better linearity. Monolithic microwave-integrated circuits (MMICs) are important ways to realize high-frequency microwave circuits, especially millimeter-wave circuits, and they have come a long way thanks to the efforts of scientific researchers. However, the performance of MMICs still has a lot of room for improvement due to many factors. This will be important in determining how much progress next-generation wireless communication systems can achieve.
The aim of this Special Issue is to attract reviews and original research outcomes related to new technologies in MMICs to improve their performance. They can be new circuit architectures, new design methodologies, new transistor structures, new materials, or any technology that can help circuits to perform better.
The topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- High-performance MMICs
- Circuit architectures for integrated microwave circuits
- Design methodologies of microwave networks
- Next-generation transistors
- MMICs using new materials
- New types of devices in RF frontends

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.
