Aims & Scope:
The current need for wireless systems operating effectively in the near-field region of the radiating device highlights a significant shift in research. Near-field conditions, where standard far-field approximations might fail to provide accurate results, demand a specialized approach to the development of radiating devices and propagation models. These are essential for developing the next generation antennas to meet the stringent requirements of near-field environments in many applications. This special section focuses on the cutting-edge techniques for analyzing, design, and modelling innovative antennas for near-field systems for sensing and next generation communications.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Sub-6GHz indoor communications in 5G and beyond
- mm-Wave communications and sensing in 6G
- Short-range communications and sensing
- On-chip antennas
- Non-diffractive beam synthesis and design
- Antennas for biomedical applications and hyperthermia
- Antennas for Wireless Power Transfer (WPT)
- Optimization techniques with near-field constraints
- Ray tracing and EM near-field channel modeling
- Smart Near-field environment
