Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Radio-frequency microelectromechanical systems (RF MEMS) were introduced more than two decades ago and immediately attracted significant attention across the RF community. Indeed, RF MEMS offer a unique set of features that, apart from the exceptional RF performance, also includes very low power consumption and manufacturability atop of various substates compatible with low-temperature restrictions. It is true that throughout these years, RF MEMS has also faced some periods of skepticism. Nevertheless, even during these periods, their potential on a variety of application has remained undoubtable. Nowadays, as result of the gained experience, it appears that RF MEMS are re-attracting the attention of both the scientific community and the relevant stakeholders. Current topics of major interest include RF application operating under high RF-power levels and/or at higher micro/millimeter wave frequencies. Both these features are at the forefront of the developments towards next-generation radio-based communications.
With the vision to reinforce the spread of the new knowledge, this Special Issue aims to cover the full pallet of approaches and welcomes the submission of reviews, short notes, and regular research papers of any discipline within these two interdisciplinary and emerging domains. This includes both theoretical and experimental efforts ranging from device level up to fundamental circuits and full systems, involving aspects related to the design, technology, physics, reliability, and the corresponding high-level applications such as on radars, next-generation communications systems, sensors or any similar RF-MEMS-enabled implementation.

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.
