Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As emerging and promising candidates for 6G, visible light communications and other emerging wireless optical techniques are earning increasing attention and investigation from both the wireless communication and the optical communication communities. These various and distinct hybrid techniques open novel research opportunities for numerous application scenarios, including but not limited to indoor wireless communications, indoor positioning and sensing, wireless backhaul, vehicular applications, underwater wireless applications, satellite applications, underground wireless applications, high-speed train applications, healthcare wireless applications, retro reflection communications applications, unmanned aerial vehicular wireless applications, and other developing fields.

The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together the research accomplishments provided by researchers from academia and industry. The main goal is to show the latest research works in the field of visible light communications and positioning as well as hybrid optical wireless techniques, especially for empowering 6G development. We encourage prospective authors to submit related research papers on the following subjects: emerging wireless optical communications; visible light communications, positioning and sensing; hybrid optical wireless; free-space optics; radio over fiber; THz communications; and B5G/6G.

This paper presents a small-size broadband slot monopole chip antenna for millimeter wave application. Using a 0.18 μm CMOS process, through metal_1, the artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) of the metal layer increased the impedance bandwidth of the chip antenna. The additional inverted C branch was used to achieve a better reflection coefficient. By adding an AMC and inverted C branch, the operating frequency of the chip antenna went to 33.8–110 GHz below the reflection coefficient of −10 dB, and its fractional bandwidth was 103.4%. The maximum gain was −6.3 dBi at 72 GHz. The overall chip size was 1.2 × 1.2 (mm2). Through measurement and verification, the proposed antenna reflection coefficient was close to the simulation trend and had better resonance. The frequency range of the chip antenna proposed in this paper covered the 5G NR FR2 band (24.2 GHz–52.6 GHz) and W-band (75 GHz–110 GHz). The proposed chip antenna can be applied to the Internet of Things, Industry 4.0, biomedical electronics, near field sensing and other related fields. Full article

This paper proposes a small-size broadband triangular monopole chip antenna for millimeter wave band applications. Process using 0.18 μm CMOS process and antenna design using Met-al_6. Triangular patch design and feed line length analysis to achieve a better reflection coefficient and also dig three circular slots at the grounding point to achieve better impedance matching. The operating frequency of the chip antenna is 62–100 GHz below the reflection coefficient −10 dB standard, with a fractional bandwidth of 54%. The maximum gain is −0.4 dBi at 64 GHz. The efficiency is 40.9%. The overall chip size is 1.2 × 1.2 (mm2). After measurement and verification, the proposed antenna reflection coefficient is similar to the simulation trend and has better resonance. The chip antenna frequency range proposed in this article covers the 5G NR FR2 frequency band. The proposed chip antenna can be applied in related fields such as the Internet of Things, Industry 4.0, and biomedical electronics. Full article
