Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent years have seen the spread of the Internet of Things (IoT) concept, for which any kind of object should be equipped with wireless connectivity to communicate and share information over the Internet. This paradigm will be disruptive by changing the way in which people interact with their environment, such as at home, at work, in transportation, etc. This implies that standard telecommunication aspects must be revised to match the challenges of IoT. This has led, for example, to the development of ultra-sensitive modulation schemes thanks to lower bandwidth requirements or the definition of new protocols capable of dealing with the tremendous number of connected objects and enabling compatibility between heterogeneous devices.
In this framework, this Special Issue will aim to present the latest advances in antennas for IoT applications. The antenna system is one of the key components of any IoT device, whose design must focus on several requirements, such as strong miniaturization, integration, antenna efficiency and environmental sensitivity. A non-exhaustive list of topics of interest in dealing with antennas for IoT applications includes: miniature antennas, integrated antennas, multi-standards antennas, antenna design methodologies, antenna optimization procedures, antenna measurement techniques, etc.

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. Electronics 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 2400 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.
