Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The application of high-frequency electromagnetic techniques for sensing ranging from the nanometre to the metre scales is often considered the most desired way of sensing. At the nano- and micrometre scales, DNAs, proteins, enzymes, cells, and tissues are detected and quantified using the label-free approach using electromagnetic waves. At sub-metre and metre scales, obstacles, persons, and materials are detected and described once again using remote sensing techniques based on electromagnetic waves, all enabled by the development of novel high-frequency sensors and actuators, MMIC manufacturing, and additive integration techniques.
This Special Issue of Sensors invites contributions relevant to the waveforms, sensors, fluidic integration, devices, and systems for biological and wireless applications. All disciplines are welcome, and contributions may cover scientific, engineering, and technological aspects of novel devices and back-end systems involved in microwave- and millimetre-wave-based sensing.
Research topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Development and evaluation of novel devices for in-situ and remote sensing;
- Development and evaluation of novel devices for broadband and narrowband sensing;
- Application of artificial-intelligence-based techniques for sensing data exploitation;
- Development and evaluation of novel devices for heating in biology and chemistry;
- Discovery and integration of waveform shapes for intelligent sensing and efficient heating;
- Development and integration of supporting microwave and millimetre-wave circuitry for microfluidic sensors and heaters;
- Integration of high-frequency electrical devices and circuitry with microfluidic setups;
- Development of packaging and interconnect technologies for microwave and millimetre-wave devices in microfluidics;
- Reports on interactions of high-frequency electromagnetic fields with biological and chemical material samples.

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.
