Antenna design has gained significant attention in recent years due to the growing interest in various applications. These applications range from the Internet of Things and long-range, low-frequency applications to high-frequency mmWave 5G mobile technologies. There has also been a resurgence of interest in wearable antennas for body area networks, including wearable garments and materials that adhere directly to the skin, such as e-skin. Moreover, the renewed interest in space exploration has sparked a new focus on satellite technologies and applications, including CubeSats, inter-satellite communications, and deep space exploration. All of these emerging applications have sparked a renewed interest in exploring special materials and novel designs for antenna systems. Consequently, designing antennas for these applications presents new challenges.
This Research Topic aims to highlight recent advancements in antenna design for these emerging applications and identify potential research areas in this exciting field of communication technologies.
