Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advent of modern wireless and mobile communications heralds an era of unprecedented connectivity, presenting both exhilarating opportunities and formidable challenges. This Special Issue on “Advanced Antennas for Wireless Communication System” explores the sophisticated landscapes of antenna technology, the cornerstone of contemporary communication infrastructure.
At the forefront of this exploration is software-defined radio (SDR), a transformative technology that endows antennas with remarkable flexibility and adaptability, allowing for real-time configuration for diverse communication needs. Alongside SDR, advanced modulation and coding schemes enhance the reliability and efficiency of data transmission, bolstering the robustness of wireless networks.
The issue delves into massive MIMO technologies, employing vast arrays of antennas for both transmitters and receivers. This multiplicity significantly augments capacity and spectral efficiency, addressing the ever-growing demands for high-speed, high-capacity communication. Equally compelling is the examination of mmWave technologies, promising ultra-fast data rates, which are essential for next-generation wireless networks. The unique challenges of mmWave propagation necessitate innovative antenna designs, pushing the boundaries of current technological capabilities.
Moreover, this Special Issue illuminates modern trends in antenna design, focusing on optimizing performance to meet stringent requirements. Techniques like integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning emerge as pivotal, showcasing how cutting-edge technologies can automate and enhance antenna design and optimization processes. The potential of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces is also highlighted, demonstrating how these dynamic surfaces can manipulate electromagnetic waves to enhance communication quality and coverage.
This issue serves as a beacon for researchers, engineers, and practitioners, providing profound insights into the current state and future directions of advanced antenna technologies. It is a testament to the relentless pursuit of innovation in overcoming the exciting challenges ahead in the ever-evolving world of wireless communication systems.
