Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It’s my great pleasure to announce this Special Issue on “Microwave Devices and Wireless Sensors”.
The recent advancements in microwave technologies have made wireless sensors an assessed technology that can be widely used for different practical applications. The key advantages of modern microwave systems are the low cost, strong miniaturisation and the capability of transmitting information with an high bandwidth and a long operative range. Thanks to these characteristics, wireless sensors based on microwave freqeuncy bands can be used for a large class of practical problems. Moreover, new scenarios introduced by Industry 4.0 and IoT technologies require miniaturized devices able to maintain their performance at high levels in any environment. Modern microwave wireless sensors must provide a high operative range, and the capability to measure different environmental parameters with high accuracy. The objective of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of the current research on microwave devices and systems for sensing and wireless sensor applications, as well as unconventional microwave devices and systems, highlighting the latest developments and innovations, and identifying new challenges and opportunities for application.
Suggested topics include but are not limited to:
- Microwave RFID systems,
- Modulated scattering technique (MST) sensors,
- Microwave antennas,
- Surface wave impedance (SWI) measurement systems,
- Industry 4.0,
- Internet of things (IoT),
- Avoidance radar for automotive applications,
- Microwave feeding network for microwave antenna array,
- Reconfigurable microwave devices (filters, mixers, couplers),
- Microwave measurement systems

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.
