Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microwave sensors provide a non-destructive, marker-free and rapid way to characterize biomedical systems. Dielectric spectroscopy in the microwave region between 300 MHz and 300 GHz is a valuable tool to extract information about tissues, extracellular fluids, cells, and enzymes and proteins in biology and medicine, as well as information about the interaction of chemical compounds in chemistry.
Microwave sensors comprise resonant and broadband techniques that can be applied in combination with microfluidic systems to investigate biological materials. Based on the application, appropriate characterization, extraction, and modelling methods can be applied to obtain the relevant information. Thus, this call for a Special Issue of Sensors invites contributions from authors studying manufacturing, device and system design, and characterization and modelling, among others. Research topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- New technologies for manufacturing microwave-microfluidic devices.
- New technologies for manufacturing devices for tissue characterization.
- Design of devices for the narrowband and broadband sensing of biological materials.
- Design of devices for tissue characterization.
- Design of supporting microwave circuitry for microwave-microfluidic 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
