Antenna Design and New Techniques for Sub-6GHz, Millimeter-wave and THz Applications
Description
High data rate transmission is required in future wireless communication systems (including 5G/B5G). Antennas are critical components for these systems. There is a growing demand for high-performance microwave, millimeter-wave and terahertz (THz) antennas. Many efforts have been devoted to the creation of high-performance antennas and associated technologies.
However, some conventional antenna design technologies have encountered difficulties in satisfying the stringent requirements in present communication systems. For example, conventional high-gain or high-efficiency antennas are parabolic reflector antennas or hollow waveguide-based antennas. Their bulky size and large profile make them unsuitable for integration with front-end planar circuits. Therefore, the demand of high-performance antennas using new techniques is increased significantly.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present novel designs of antennas using new techniques for 5G/B5G applications. We welcome original research and review articles.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- THz antennas
- Millimeter wave antennas for 5G New Radio
- Compact antenna design for Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 devices
- Metamaterials based antennas and meta-surfaces for 5G and beyond
- MIMO antenna design for handset and other wearable devices
- Antennas for future IoTs and vehicular communications
- Antenna in Package ( AiP ) technology
- Reconfigurable and flexible antennas
- Beamforming and phase-array designs for mobile communications
- Reconfigurable intelligence surfaces-assisted millimeter wave systems
- MIMO transmission via Reconfigurable intelligence surfaces
