Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the transition to fifth generation (5G) communication officially begins, the increasing demand for high-speed wireless solutions for both industries and consumers is prompting more intensive research for mmWave technologies than ever. Although many different building blocks towards a successful adoption of mmWave technology, such as communication networks, channel analysis, and transmitter and receiver designs, can be considered, the challenges in the mmWave antenna must be primarily concerned. As the massive number of antenna elements for beamforming and wave propagation behavior in mmWave are unprecedented challenges, array antennas and array field/wave propagation aspects at mmWave must be thoroughly studied. To support the new frequency bands and wireless system architectures that bridge between traditional antenna topics and the challenges confronted with mmWave, the authors are invited to submit articles reporting recent advances in mmWave antenna array technologies. The scope of this Special Issue focuses on technical topics in mmWave antennas that may address, but are not limited to, the topics below:
- Antenna array design: new antenna structures, MIMO, massive-MIMO, beamforming/beam steering, adaptive array, and array with reconfigurable feed network.
- Array with new materials: antennas fabricated with new materials, EM-analysis with different types of antenna materials, and so on.
- Smart/intelligent anntenas and applications: reconfigurable antenna array, pattern reconfigurable, polarization diversity, smart sensors using mmWave array, radars, IoT devices, mmWave wireless power transfer by antenna array, and so on.
- Electromagnetic field/propagation analysis: field/propagation analysis, mutual coupling, grating lobe suppression, beamforming performance analysis, and so on.
- Antenna-in-package: antenna-in-package, antenna-on-chip, fabrication/implementation, and so on.
- Antenna calibration: adaptive calibration, on-board self calibration, far-field calibration, measurement techniques, and so on.
- Communication applications: array antenna operation for cellular network, base-station antennas, mobile/cellular antennas, 5G communication, vehicular communication, satellite communication, and so on.
- UAV applications: array antennas for unmanned aerial vehicles such as drones, automotives, and so on.

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.
