Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microwave sensors and systems are widely applied in different platforms due to their portability, high sensitivity, easy data-processing ability, and lower sample-consumption rate. With the development of the Internet of Things (IoTs), a variety of novel materials and technologies, such as the microfluidic technique, the thermal-forming manufacturing method, additive manufacturing technology, and flexible/printable circuits, have received the attention of microwave researchers for their exciting and unique high-frequency properties. This has lead to the development of a variety of promising sensors, transceivers, devices, and systems for various applications.
This Special Issue on the “Recent Advancements in Miniaturized Microwave Sensors and Systems” aims to collect and publish in-depth studies and advanced developments in the fields of miniaturized microwave sensors and integrated systems, novel modeling technologies and theories related to the microwave properties of materials and devices, original scientific research on their fabrication and performances with experimental and theoretical analysis, and data processing techniques used to characterize the different materials. Authors are invited to submit their original research and review papers that contribute to the advancements in this field addressing, but not limited, to the following topics:
- Microfluidic and digital microfluidic RF and microwave devices;
- New fabrication and optimization techniques for miniaturized devices and systems;
- Miniaturized-device-performance studies combining theoretical and experimental aspects;
- Flexible microwave sensors and their properties;
- Wireless microwave devices for sensing;
- Characterization theories of biological and innovative (2D and nano-) materials;
- Mathematical and computational analyses of complex materials;
- System-on-chip design and system approaches for material characterization;
- Emerging, new fabrication materials and techniques for sensing applications.

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.
