Exploring the Potential of 5G and Millimeter-Wave Array Antennas

Dear Colleagues,

Satellite communication systems (SatComS) are evolving with the introduction of satellite internet applications, leveraging mmWave, multi-polarization, and steerable antennas. Satellite Internet connectivity provides enabling technology for the 5th generation of communication (5G) by providing the means to extend broadband connectivity to rural and underserved areas. One of the key components of satellite internet is the mmWave antenna that can provide wide-angle scanning. This Special Issue aims to focus on the latest designs and development of mmWave antennas for satellite internet for micromachines.

Topics of interest:

• Electronically steerable antennas
• Mechanically steerable antennas
• Ku, Ka, Q, V, and W band antennas
• Multibeam antennas
• mmWave active phased array antennas
• Multireflector antennas
• Reflectarray steerable antennas
• mmWave antenna beamforming
• Filtering antennas
• Over-the-air (OTA) antenna measurement
• Reconfigurable phased array antennas
• Multipolarization phased array antennas
• Antennas for LEO, GEO, and HAPS connectivity
• Thermal and power analysis for ESA
• Metasurface steerable antennas

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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 2100 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.
