Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Antennas are a crucial component in wireless sensing and communication systems. In recent years, there have been significant advancements in antenna technology. One of the most important advances has been the development of small, low-profile antennas that can operate across a wide range of frequencies. These antennas are ideal for use in compact wireless devices such as smartphones, tablets, IoT, and wearable devices.
The use of smart antenna technology has also increased in recent years. Smart antennas can adapt their radiation pattern based on the location of the receiver, which can help to improve signal strength and reduce interference. Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology is another important development in antenna technology, which can improve data transfer rates and reduce errors.
In addition to these technologies, there are also ongoing research efforts to develop new antenna technologies for wireless sensing and communications. Some of them include the use of metamaterials, which are artificial materials that can manipulate electromagnetic waves in unique ways, and the use of terahertz radiation, which has the potential to revolutionize wireless communication due to its high bandwidth and ability to penetrate materials.
We believe that it is the right time to organize this Special Issue, and welcome any submissions related to antenna technologies for sensing and communications, such as: MIMO antennas; metamaterial antennas; AI for antenna designs; antenna measurements; et al. Hopefully, it will become an excellent reference source for people to learn the latest development in this important area.

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.
