Special Issue Information

 

 

 

 

The advances in wireless networks, electronics and materials have led to the emergence of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). This has formed the cores of internet of things (IoT) technology and enabled applications in every corner, ranging from space exploration, process/production, environment monitoring to healthcare inspection and disease diagnosis. It is expected that number of connected IoT devices growing 18% to 14.4 billion globally in 2022.

 

Antenna is the key element in wireless communication devices to transmit and receive radio signals. It acts as an omnipresent critical component in smart phones, tablets, implantable wireless biomedical devices, radio frequency identification systems, radars, etc. Compact antennas rely on an EM wave resonance, and therefore typically have a size of more than one-tenth of the EM wavelength. At the VHF (30-300 MHz) and UHF (0.3 -3 GHz) operating frequency bands, antennas have a larger size in order to operate efficiently. Therefore, this has introduced severe design constraints on the antenna when it is required to operate in a limited space within an enclosure.

 

The state-of-art challenges for antenna design are to enhance the impedance bandwidth, radiation characteristics, mutual coupling between antenna elements, size miniaturization and mechanical properties.

 

The primary aim of this Special Issue is to seek high-quality submissions that highlight recent breakthroughs in the development of design and theoretical study of new antenna designs for future electronic transceivers.

 

Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
