Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave (FMCW) radars operating in the terahertz (THz) range offer unique capabilities for high-resolution and noninvasive sensing, imaging, and tomography. Combining wide bandwidths with coherent detection, THz FMCW systems enable submillimeter depth resolution, penetration through optically opaque materials, and enhanced contrast in complex media. This Special Issue aims to showcase recent advances in THz FMCW technology, including hardware innovations, novel signal processing algorithms, and emerging applications in areas such as biomedical imaging, nondestructive testing, cultural heritage inspection, security screening, and industrial process monitoring. Contributions exploring hybrid systems (e.g., combining time-domain or near-field techniques), compact on-chip solutions or novel architectures (e.g., topological beamformers), and advanced data processing are particularly encouraged to be submitted.
Dr. Jean-Paul Guillet
Guest Editor
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. Sensors 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 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.
