Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Antenna sensors have attracted considerable interest in recent years, mainly in the area of wireless sensor networks (WSN), since this technology represents a promising area for both the present and immediate future. The possible use of such systems has a broad range of applications, such as for military, rescue, medical, environment or entertaining purposes. Depending on the application, the frequency range of operations could be extended from UHF up to mm-waves.
Moreover, in order to reach the goals envisioned by the Internet of Things concept, a new world of sensors must be developed, which should be much more immersive and embedded in day-by-day utilities and infrastructures. To do so, new design techniques and new materials can be explored for the development of these embedded sensors, with communication capability and low power of consumption. In this sense, it is important to develop a set of passive sensors integrated within different materials, such as cork, ceramics, paper, plastic, and/or fabrics, to be later applied in identification and detection applications.
To further promote the development of this area, we invite researchers to contribute with original research manuscripts, as well as review articles, focused on recent advances in design and also performance analysis of sensors based on antennas and their applications. Future research directions and open problems are also suggested.
Dr. Pedro Pinho

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.
