Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues and Industrial Partners,
Among the most exciting topics of electromagnetic engineering are the studies of advanced electromagnetic (EM) structures. There are several venues to improve EM structure designs. Advanced electromagnetic structures (AES) such as metamaterials and metasurfaces can be applied to electronic applications related to the environment. Exploiting the Earth’s resources to the fullest while considering green energy consumption is a current concern. Here, the AES proposes an effective way to interact with such a medium. Analytical solutions, simulation/numerical methods, and concrete experiments can all be used to characterize and assess the AES and its suggested application. The AES architectures that have been proposed would be used to support societal and industry-driven technologies.
The submission of high-quality research papers and review articles is encouraged for this issue. Designing EM propagating elements, communication links, and telecommunication circuits is the focus of this issue. Some suggested topics of designing AES for environmental applications are as follows (but not limited to these):
- Multifunctional AES that fulfills several purposes, including propagation, and scattering in an environmental related aspect;
- Integration of solar panels with electronic devices based on AES for sunlight energy harvesting;
- Design of propagation elements for environment sensing using transparent conducting materials and optically transparent dielectrics;
- Satellite and drone-based antennas with AES for the expansion of networks and increasing diversity;
- Application of EM complex media (such as inhomogeneous, anisotropic, time-varying, and chiral) in environment engineering;
- AES being used to improve the latest vehicular technologies and increase its market demand;
- Scattering and an environmental channel investigation with the newly developed AES;
- AES-based remote sensing and its applications in weather treatment, terrestrial scanning, and natural disaster early warning solutions;
- Energy harvesting and efficient energy consumption of electronic devices with AES;
- Backscattering studies based on AES for applications related to the environment;
- Efficient shielding medium design with the help of AES.
As a noteworthy point, this Special Issue has been dedicated to Earth Day 2022 (April 22).
