About this Research Topic
The rapid advancement of science and technology has profoundly impacted every aspect of modern life. This complexity is particularly evident in wireless devices, where antenna systems determine network performance, reliability, and efficiency. Indeed, antennas are the main components of wireless networks, allowing for the transmission and reception of radio waves that carry information. Therefore, research into antenna design and radio wave propagation is of critical importance, since it enables the development of more efficient and effective wireless networks that can support the growing demand for high-speed data transmission. With the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, and Beyond-5G networks, the demand for reliable and efficient wireless communications is greater than ever.
The Antenna Systems research topic is a call to researchers worldwide to address specific problems holistically, with the ultimate goal of deploying and using solutions in real-world scenarios by exploiting multiple knowledge domains. In this way, the Research Topic seeks to facilitate system-level research in electromagnetism, exploring all the aspects of deploying complex solutions, including performance evaluation, safety, and procedures. Therefore, the research contributions should design and/or analyse the wireless solutions starting from the physics behind antennas and electromagnetic fields, up to investigating the interrelationship with the other logical blocks of the system’s architecture, like algorithms, sensors, or security features. By focusing on the blocks' interdependence from the system's standpoint, the physical layer can be optimally tailored to the needs of the application.
We encourage scholars worldwide to submit their papers and reviews advancing the field of antenna systems.
This Research Topic includes, but is not limited to:
1. Simultaneous use and design of multiple antennas: Investigating techniques for utilizing multiple antennas at the same time.
