Background
Metasurfaces are two- and three-dimensional periodic structures that can deliver unique features within all sorts of engineering domains. Within electromagnetics for space (be it radio frequency, microwave, millimeter-wave, terahertz, or optics), metasurfaces are popularly used to manipulate electromagnetic waves using passive or active artificially created sub-wavelength patterned structures. Such innovative surfaces are being adapted in the literature for a number of RF and optical applications in space such as remote sensing, satellite communications, high-resolution imaging, beam-steering, and radar-cross section reduction.
Aim and Scope of the Themed Issue
This special issue aims to curate a collection highlighting the global advances in the development of electromagnetic metasurfaces for applications in space systems. It will focus on the exciting developments, ongoing trends and latest achievements in envisioning, simulating, fabricating, and measuring new metasurfaces for microwave, millimeter-wave, terahertz, and optical frequencies.
We invite submissions from all domains of applied and theoretical research on this subject which includes (but is not limited to):
• New emerging trends in metasurfaces
All relevant papers will be carefully considered, vetted by a distinguished team of international experts, and published in accordance to the Journal’s standard policies. Full research papers and comprehensive review articles can be submitted online via the journal’s submission and peer review site.
