Millimeter-wave (mmWave) technology has gained significant attention in recent years due to its essential role in next-generation communication systems such as 5G, 6G, and beyond and its applications in radar, imaging, and sensing technologies. Millimeter-wave technology offers the potential for ultra-high data rates, improved resolution, and precise detection in a compact form factor. However, developing millimeter-wave antennas and antenna arrays has challenges such as high path loss, limited efficiency, and complex design and fabrication requirements. Addressing these challenges is critical to fully realizing the potential of mmWave systems in both commercial and scientific applications. This Special Issue aims to explore the recent advancements in mmWave antenna design, fabrication, and application, showcasing state-of-the-art research in this rapidly evolving field.

This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers and engineers to share the latest innovations in mmWave antenna and antenna array design, from theoretical developments to practical implementations. The scope aligns with the broader goals of the Electronics journal, focusing on advancing electronic systems and components, with a particular emphasis on high-frequency antennas and related technologies. By publishing original research and review articles, this issue will contribute to developing efficient, high-performance millimeter-wave antennas that enable innovative applications in wireless communication, radar systems, imaging, and sensing technologies.

This Special Issue invites contributions in various areas of millimeter-wave antenna research, including but not limited to:
