Aims & Scope: Aims & scope: Antennas have found applications, beyond telecommunications, in enabling electronics through sensing and energy harvesting. To fully leverage these opportunities, such systems require inter-disciplinary expertise ranging from fundamental antennas and propagation research, active antennas with applied microwave technologies along with circuits & systems, advanced materials, to AI and machine learning. For instance, RFID has become the most pervasive antenna-enabled commercial technology and is now being applied in sensing, biomedical, and industrial applications.
This OJAP Special Section invites contributions on inter-disciplinary applications with emphasis on antenna-based sensing, RFID, and multi-functional diversity antennas for joint communication, sensing, and/or wireless power transfer. We welcome emerging and well-established, such as RFID and RF power transfer, antenna-enabled technologies highlighting the inter-disciplinary applications with a focus on IoT, healthcare, and industrial applications.
We are seeking contributions on the integration and co-design of antennas with wireless components such as RFID frontends, energy harvesters, and unconventional IoT nodes. In addition, fundamental research on antenna-based sensors including novel physical concepts such as sensors operating near exceptional points is highly welcome. Original studies dealing with propagation modelling, large-scale field trials, and long-term antenna-based sensor evaluation are also invited.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Antennas for RFID
- Antenna-based sensors
- Advanced materials for sensing antennas
- Antennas for contact-less sensing and healthcare radar
