Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
More users, more devices, and more ambitious projects like Smart Cities and Autonomous Vehicles need the development of 5G wireless technology to support the high data rate, connectivity, capacity, and low latency requirements of these new technologies. The move to the mm-Wave spectrum is a major obstacle for 5G. High route loss, atmospheric absorption, and increased variable channel conditions plague mm-Waves, despite their revolutionary data speeds, prompting a number of paradigm revisions in the mobile phone business. Before mm-Wave communications can be extended to smartphones, however, a thorough investigation has to be conducted to discover the antenna design and smartphone implementation issues that affect communication quality. The performance of the antenna and metamaterial play a vital role in terms of gain and bandwidth enhancement. To achieve their unique features, metamaterials take several forms, including frequency selective surfaces (FSS), metasurfaces, left-handed materials, and electromagnetic bandgap structures. This Special Issue aims to provide the selection contribution in the domain of antenna design, metamaterial structures and their associated application in radiation and sensing application.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Antenna devices for 5G and beyond the spectrum
- mmWaves antenna structures
- MIMO antenna geometries
- Metamaterial structures for GHz and mm Waves
- Photonics crystal-based antenna
- Liquid metamaterial antenna
- Frequency selective surfaces

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
