Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of microwave components and devices has been quite impressive over the past decade. Advances in microwave components and devices have enabled a wide range of applications in communications, radar, navigation, remote sensing, automotive electronics, health care, as well as wireless/microwave power transmission. Additionally, microwave components and devices are becoming increasingly significant for 5G/6G networks, which require high-speed data transmission and low latency. As the demand for more powerful, efficient, and reliable microwave systems continues to grow, so too does the need for further development of microwave components and devices.
This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in microwave integrated circuits, microwave transmitters/receivers, transceiver, amplifiers, passive components, antennas, and rectifying circuits in the domain of radar systems, 5G/6G communication systems, microwave and terahertz engineering, wireless/microwave power transmission, Internet of Things (IoT), energy harvesting, along with simultaneously wireless information and power transfer. The topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- RF/THz integrated microsystems;
- Microwave /THz antenna design;
- RF/microwave integrated circuits;
- Microwave antenna measurements;
- RF Semiconductor devices in CMOS technology;
- Microwave and millimeter-wave integrated passive components/circuits;
- Wide bandgap semiconductor devices and their integrated circuit;
- Microwave radar sensors;
- Metamaterials/Metasurfaces.

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
