Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid increase in the demands of data transmission rates driven by emerging applications has imposed stringent requirements in the operation frequency and bandwidth for next-generation wireless communication systems. To accommodate the requirements of modern communication systems, new design and implementation technologies for front-end subsystems are necessary. New technologies that lead to compact size, ease of integration, and performance improvement are critical at microwave/millimeter-wave frequencies. This Special Issue is thus devoted to the presentation of the latest developments in passive and active components and circuits in the front ends for the next generation of communication systems. All researchers in the field are invited to contribute their original unpublished works. Both research and review papers are welcome.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Device technologies for microwave/millimeter-wave applications;
- Power-combining techniques;
- Low-noise amplifier circuits;
- Power amplifier circuits;
- Switches;
- Antennas;
- Antenna arrays;
- Filters;
- Passive components;
- Materials for microwave/millimeter-wave 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. 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.
