Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although antennas are an old topic that have been the subject of extensive research spanning decades, new challenges and requirements mean that antennas are still an exciting research area. New materials, technologies, applications, and specifications have led to new designs and developments. This Special Issue aims to attract new research designs that transcend tradition and present out-of-the-box ideas. Each contribution must provide a paragraph highlighting the exceptionality of the work and its implementation from design to practice.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- New technologies for antennas that help to overcome traditional problems;
- New 5G/6G antennas;
- Artificially intelligent (AI) and machine learning (ML)-based antenna design;
- Compact MIMO and Massive MIMO antennas;
- Wide-scanning antenna arrays;
- Frequency diverse array antenna implementation;
- Overcoming OAM shortcomings;
- Enhancing on-chip antennas.

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.
