Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sensors have undoubtedly become an essential part of the modern world. Sensors, as key tools for capturing changes in physical, chemical, or biological parameters, greatly expand their range of applications and performance when combined with microwave technology. Microwave sensors are widely used in fields such as radar and aerospace, automotive safety, industrial automation, communication systems, health and safety monitoring, environmental monitoring, and agriculture. One application of microwave energy is wireless power transmission, which involves transmitting energy wirelessly through microwaves. There is a close relationship between microwave measurement and wireless power transfer. In wireless power transfer, the generation, transmission, reception, and conversion of microwaves involve precise microwave measurement to ensure the efficiency and safety of energy transmission.
The non-contact measurement capabilities, high precision and sensitivity, powerful penetration, and adaptability to harsh environmental conditions of microwave sensors demonstrate their tremendous advantages in various application scenarios. This Special Issue aims to delve into the development and applications of microwave sensors, and we invite authors to submit high-quality manuscripts to advance the progress of microwave sensors in the measurement field. The themes of microwave energy applications in production and life include, but are not limited to, the following:
Wireless power supply for sensors;
Real-time monitoring of environmental conditions, including air, water, and soil pollution, by microwave sensors;
Sustainable green agriculture monitoring and power supply;
Process monitoring in drying and heating fields;
Real-time microwave sensors in biomedicine;
Microwave power transmission and monitoring on the Internet of Things (IoT);
New applications of real-time microwave sensing systems;
Electromagnetic materials and microwave measurement principles
Real-time monitoring in industrial production.

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.
