本特刊的目的是发表微波和毫米波通信和传感器系统的技术论文。近年来，由于5G和卫星通信、汽车雷达、精确定位服务、无人机跟踪、成像雷达、STAR（同时发射和接收系统，也称为自双工）、带数字预失真的功率放大器、带闭环功能的天线调谐等，我们看到了这类系统的强劲复苏。此外，硅芯片也变得越来越复杂，多个发射和接收波束形成通道，上下转换混频器，合成器，adc和dac，甚至数字信号处理决策电路都在同一个芯片上。硅（和III-V前端）解决方案可以被视为独立的，并连接到天线（或天线阵列）进行操作。对于这样复杂的系统，不需要知道每个电路或组件的详细工作原理，更重要的是要从系统的角度来看待解决方案，例如射频模块与天线和DSP后端协同设计，以及各自应用领域的决策算法。此外，这种复杂系统的校准和测试是至关重要的，需要新的技术来降低校准成本，从而降低系统成本。微波和毫米波系统的影响越来越大，在整个社会都是显而易见的，特别是在5G通信、汽车雷达、安全/安保应用和生物医学传感器方面。
Motivation The aim of this Special Issue is to publish technical papers in microwave and millimeter-wave communication and sensor systems. In recent years, we have seen a strong resurgence in such systems due to 5G and satellite communications, automotive radars, precise location services, UaV tracking, imaging radars, STAR (simultaneous transmit and receive systems also known as self-duplex), power amplifiers with digital pre-distortion, antenna tuning with closed loop functions, etc. Also, silicon chips are becoming more complex with multiple transmit and receive beamforming channels, up and down-conversion mixers, synthesizers, ADCs and DACs and even digital signal processing decision circuitry all on the same die. The silicon (and III-V front-end) solutions can be considered as stand-alone and are connected to antennas (or antenna arrays) for operation. For such complex systems, it is not required to know the detailed operation of every circuit or component, and it is more important to look at the solution from a systems perspective, such as co-design of the RF blocks with the antennas and with the DSP back-end, and the decision algorithms for the respective application areas. Also, calibration and test of such complex systems is critical, and novel techniques are needed to reduce the calibration cost which can lead to a reduction in system cost. The increased impact of microwave and millimeter-wave systems is noticeable throughout society, especially in 5G communications, automotive radars, safety/security applications, and in bio-medical sensors.
