Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-contact remote sensing of life activities, such as respiration, heartbeat, hand gestures, sleep, and walking based on radar sensors has attracted a lot of interest from both academia and industry in recent years. Using radar sensors, researchers have been exploring novel applications including indoor tracking, monitoring of vital signs, security surveillance, gesture recognition, and occupancy detection. Various radar sensors from bench-top systems to silicon on-chip integration have been widely reported. The operation frequency of these radar sensors ranges from a few MHz to sub-THz. Advanced algorithms such as machine learning and blind signal separation have also been adapted for radar-based life activity sensing. While the rapid advancements in radar remote sensing technologies have shown great promise in improving life quality, there still exist significant challenges to be solved.
We invite manuscripts for this forthcoming Special Issue in all aspects regarding radar remote sensing on life activities. Both reviews and original research articles on systems, hardware, or algorithms are welcome. Reviews should provide an up-to-date overview for the state-of-the-art technologies such as remote and accurate vital signs monitoring, life activity tracking, non-contact human-computer interface based on remote sensing of gesture commands, or any other radar based remote life activity sensing topics that have experienced significant advancements in the past decade. Original research papers should focus on a new approach or solve an important problem in radar-based life activity remote sensing. If you have ideas to discuss before submission, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to receiving your manuscript submitted to this Special Issue.

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. Remote Sensing 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 2700 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.
