Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The antenna systems used for any radio communication platform are one of the critical parts of the system. The antenna system is the interface between the radio system and the external environment. Millimeter and sub-millimeter waves have been the focus of intensive research activities over the past several years. Traditionally, these frequency bands were used for high cost radio astronomy and space applications, but 5G and beyond generations of wireless communication and other consumer applications have grown significantly and need cost reduction and miniaturization in antenna systems. These aspects are the principal reason for rapidly growing interest in this topic.
The spectrum availability in millimeter and sub-millimeter wave frequency bands enables an extremely high data rate and the miniaturization of antenna systems. However, at these frequencies difficulties arise in the manufacture of classical systems and there is an increase in losses due to roughness in metallic component surfaces and dielectrics employed. This aspects need to be improved to lower technology cost and make it affordable for new, arising applications.
The objective of this Special Issue is to present recent advances in the field of millimeter and sub-millimeter wave antenna systems. Therefore, researchers are invited to submit their manuscripts to this Special Issue and contribute with their designs, proposals, and studies.

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. Electronics 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.
