Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The capabilities, features and technologies of the upcoming 6G networks are currently being investigated. The effective integration and cost of these radio elements will condition the future capabilities of these systems that will surely combine sensing, computing and communication functions. In this changing environment, it is necessary to develop and improve solutions and technologies, but also to solve open research problems and make the co-design of these elements more flexible. Efficient energy systems will be required that allow the multiband, multibeam and multilayer operation of the antennas, as well as the use of complementary elements such as intelligent surfaces or adaptive massive MIMO environments. The complexity in the electromagnetic design of these systems requires the improvement of advanced tools and techniques such as multi-objective optimization and hybrid integration models, which are an essential focus on the roadmap towards 6G networks.

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.
