Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is becoming overcrowded with a variety of wireless signals and other communication and sensing circuits and devices. This has led to an increased interest in the design of RF and microwave systems and subsystems to help to decongest the overwhelmed EM spectrum. However, journals currently available for accepting and publishing research outputs in this field are scarce.
This Special Issue will focus on systems and applications that operate within the radiofrequency (RF) and microwave frequency bands. Electromagnetic (EM) waves with frequencies ranging from 300 to 300 GHz are classified as microwaves. This frequency range corresponds to the free space wavelengths of 1 m to 1 mm, respectively. EM waves with frequencies ranging from 30 to 300 GHz are classified as millimetre waves, because their wavelengths fall above 1 mm and below 10 mm. The radiofrequency (RF) spectrum falls below the microwave spectrum, though the boundary between the RF and microwave spectra is arbitrary and depends on the technology developed for the exploitation of the specific spectrum.

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.
