Submission Deadline: 30 August 2020
Aims & Scope: Demand of high transmission data rates, low latency, high reliability and interference-free operation for applications ranging from communications to infotainment and positioning to healthcare is ever-increasing. The need is driving the development of wireless networks fostering the exploration of new spectrum. Millimeter-wave (30 to 300 GHz) and Terahertz (0.1 to 10 THz) frequencies are considered as the front-runner enabling technologies for future wireless networks.
Antennas are an integral part of these systems and choice of right antenna is critical to the successful deployment of future wireless networks. Full exploitation of the potentials of Millimetre-wave and Terahertz spectrum, a deep understanding of the antenna design is required. Small wavelength at Millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) and Terahertz (THz) bands allows for miniaturized devices courtesy of compact, high gain antennas. However, the limitation of maintaining reasonable performance in ever-shrinking form-factors and under extreme interference conditions further adds to the complexity of a complicated antenna design process. It solicits novel ideas and innovative solutions for the antenna design.
This Special Section is aimed to provide insight into the Millimetre-wave and Terahertz antenna design considerations fostering novel approaches for the development of efficient, cost-effective, scalable, and reliable antenna solutions for future wireless networks.
