Challenges and Endeavors of Radiated Radio Frequency Tests for 5G Radios

Submission Deadline: 31 January 2021

IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Challenges and Endeavors of Radiated Radio Frequency Tests for 5G Radios.

By now, we have entered the fifth generation (5G) era with intensive research and development (R&D) of various 5G applications from both industry and academia. The 5G systems promise higher spectral efficiency/energy efficiency, lower latency, and more reliable communications. These advantages are supported by millimeter wave (mmWave) and/or massive multiple-input multiple-output (M-MIMO) techniques.

Cable conducted testing has been the dominant testing method for sub-6 GHz conventional communication systems, where antenna ports are mostly accessible for conducted testing. In the conducted testing, antenna characteristics are omitted completely by testing from antenna ports.  However, for M-MIMO antenna systems with hundreds of antenna elements, conducted testing obviously becomes infeasible. Moreover, it is likely that mmWave systems will not have standard antenna ports, rendering over-the-air (OTA) the only testing solution. However, many challenges for OTA testing of 5G devices arise, e.g., the lack of antenna connectors especially at frequency region (FR) 2, the high number of antenna connectors at RF1 for base stations; the complicated and expensive system resource requirement for testing electrically large 5G devices; the time-consuming array diagnosis and calibration for M-MIMO and millimeter-wave systems; the large measurement range requirement in the test system to meet the far field assumption; the link budget issue at FR2, etc. Besides conventional antenna and radio frequency (RF) testing, it is necessary as well to test both mmWave and M-MIMO systems with appropriate channel models due to the fact that the use of beamforming and spatial filtering is sensitive to time-variant radio channel conditions.

In addition, the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problems of 5G systems become very serious due to the existence of complicated circuits and numerous wireless components. In practice, the EMC test needs to not only evaluate the radiated/conducted emission/susceptibility, but also identify the key sources of EMC failures. Due to the complexity of 5G systems, the identification of EMC failure source is especially challenging. Therefore, new testing solutions and post-processing techniques are needed to address the challenges of 5G EMC tests, also accounting for coexistence with existing fixed and mobile installations.

The objective of this Special Section is to address the challenges in OTA/EMC tests for 5G Technologies. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Anechoic chamber based testing methods for 5G applications
• Reverberation chambers based testing methods for 5G applications
• M-MIMO antenna array diagnosis and calibration
• Millimeter-wave antenna array diagnosis and calibration

Energy Harvesting Technologies for Wearable and Implantable Devices

Submission Deadline: 31 December 2020

IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Energy Harvesting Technologies for Wearable and Implantable Devices.

Implantable and wearable electronic devices can improve the quality of life as well as the life expectancy of many chronically ill patients, provided that certain biological signs can be accurately monitored. Thanks to advances in packaging and nanofabrication, it is now possible to embed various microelectronic and micromechanical sensors (such as gyroscopes, accelerometers and image sensors) into a small area on a flexible substrate and at a relatively low cost. Furthermore, these devices have been integrated with wireless communication technologies to enable the transmission of both signals and energy.  However, to ensure that these devices can truly improve a patient’s quality of life, new preventative, diagnostic and therapeutic devices that can provide hassle-free, long-term, continuous monitoring will need to be developed, which must rely on novel energy harvesting solutions that are non-obstructive to their wearer.  So far, research in the field has focussed on materials, new processing techniques and one-off devices. However, existing progress is not sufficient for future electronic devices to be useful in any new application and a great demand exists towards scaling up the research towards circuits and systems. A few interesting developments in this direction indicate that special attention should be given towards the design, simulation and modeling of energy harvesting techniques while keeping system integration and power management in mind.

• Novel piezoelectric, thermoelectric and photovoltaic energy harvesting technologies that lead to enhanced efficiency and controllability under standard or varying working conditions

IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Antenna and Propagation for 5G and Beyond.

5G is not just the next evolution of 4G technology; it’s a paradigm shift. “5G and Beyond” will enable bandwidth in excess of 100s of Mb/s with latency of less than 1 ms, in addition to providing connectivity to billions of devices. The verticals of 5G and beyond are not limited to smart transportation, industrial IoT, eHealth, smart cities, and entertainment services; transforming the way humanity lives, works, and engages with its environment.

“5G and beyond” is an enormous opportunity but the widespread deployment of 5G still faces many challenges, including reliable connectivity, a wide range of bands to support ranging from the 600 MHz UHF band to the mm-wave 60 GHz V-band, dynamic spectrum sharing, channel modeling and wave propagation for ultra-dense wireless networks, as well as price pressures. Besides other required features, the choice of an antenna system will be a critical component of all the node end devices. Choosing the right antenna for an application presents a key design challenge. Creating effective antenna performance requires engineers to examine several factors including antenna size, from what is needed to what is possible, antenna shape, and placement. As consumer electronic modules continue to shrink, incorporating more wireless technologies, making space for antennas is becoming an increasingly significant challenge. Thus, the antenna designers face the restrictions of maintaining reasonable performance in ever-shrinking footprints and under extreme interference conditions. Since high frequency bands are expected to be used in 5G, the propagation characteristics such as propagation loss and multipath characteristics must be evaluated for mm Wave frequencies and beyond. Therefore, new radio propagation modeling and prediction techniques need to be developed to cover the new frequency bands for future 5G wireless systems.

The explosive growth of 5G creates many scientific and engineering challenges that call for ingenious research efforts from both academia and industry. This Special Section in IEEE Access brings together scholars, professors, researchers, engineers, and administrators to find new approaches for exploiting challenging propagation channels and the development of efficient, cost-effective, scalable, and reliable antenna systems/solutions. Further, this Special Section will allow researchers to identify new opportunities for this exciting field.

IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of 5G and Beyond Mobile Wireless Communications Enabling Intelligent Mobility.

Increasing urbanization is one major trend that shapes tomorrow’s society; by 2050 more than 85% of the developed world’s population will live in a comparatively small number of ever-growing cities. Within such cities and their commuter belts, reliable high-rate wireless communication will not only be required for (quasi-) static users, but also for hosts of people moving in public and private transportation networks. Yet, wireless connectivity is not restricted to people; frictionless functioning of such a society in motion is supported by Intelligent Mobility where each connected transportation vehicle (car, train, bus, ship, aircraft, motorcycle, bicycle) is expected to be a smart object equipped with a powerful multi-sensor platform, communication capability, computing units, and Internet protocol (IP)-based connectivity, such as to be highly efficient in various vehicular and transportation applications. This vision requires a more pervasive and ubiquitous communications and networking core, which will not be only driven by the existing research on 5G, but also enabled by future mobile wireless communications which employ new concepts, such as data analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud-computing, etc. Therefore, this Special Section in IEEE Access focuses on various theoretical and experimental views on researching and developing the required technological enhancements of 5G and beyond mobile wireless communications to efficiently support the vision of intelligent mobility, providing mobility as a service and enabling dependable Internet services.

IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Advances in Statistical Channel Modeling for Future Wireless Communications Networks.

Wireless communication technology, including both radio and optical frequencies, has become an important aspect of modern life. The accurate depiction of wireless signals is paramount. Statistical channel modeling is of great importance, as accurate characterization of the propagation channel is essential for different applications like system design and performance analysis.

Recently, various types of new wireless communication systems have emerged, such as device-to-device, millimeter wave, and massive multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) systems. However, traditional and well-established fading models, such as Rayleigh, Rician, and Nakagami- m , may not accurately model the random fluctuations of the received signal. There is a strong, credible body of evidence, suggesting that the complex electromagnetic propagation phenomena involved in new wireless communications should be taken into account by general and unifying, physically based channel models. Researchers have been making great efforts to propose appropriate channel models and readers of IEEE Access have keen interest in the research advances in this fundamental and important area.

Submission Deadline: 31 October 2019

IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Millimeter-wave and Terahertz Propagation, Channel Modeling and Applications.

The demand for ever-increasing wireless data-transmission rates and throughput area-densities is common to several wireless services and application areas, from ultra-dense cellular networks to internet access, wireless networks on-chip, back-hauling, device-to-device communications and sensing techniques. This need is fostering the exploration of new spectrum in the millimeter-wave (30 to 300 GHz) and Terahertz (0.1 to 10 THz) bands and the study of techniques for multi-Gigabit transmission based on very high-gain antennas or using massive antenna arrays (massive-MIMO, i.e. massive Multiple Input Multiple Output systems).

Besides the greater spectrum availability, mm-wave and THz communications can benefit from the small wavelength, which allows for the design of compact, massive antenna arrays with very narrow beams and therefore of powerful beamforming techniques (pencil-beamforming) that yield optimum spectrum spatial re-use and consistently high signal to interference ratio.

Beamforming is likely to be of great interest for far-field Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) techniques, recently proposed to energize small, battery-less devices and sensors and foster the development of the Internet of Things (IoT). For example, small, low-cost passive tags could be attached to products in a warehouse and high gain mm-wave beam-scanning antenna arrays could be used to localize them and at the same time to acquire sensing information about them. Furthermore, the use of multiple bands in the mm-wave and Terahertz frequency ranges will allow the implementation of very high-accuracy sensing and localization techniques. This will enable a variety of applications, with special regard to security enforcing and vehicular systems, such as the detection and/or localization of drones or the accurate localization of vehicles in urban environment using multi-static cooperative radar techniques for safety and traffic control.

To fully exploit the potential of mm-wave and THz spectrum a deep understanding of the propagation channel will be required, including aspects such as materials’ electromagnetic properties, blockage and scattering due to people, vehicles, drones, as well as multidimensional, multi-frequency channel characterization.  Moreover, multi-disciplinary studies on link components such as antennas, devices, pointing systems, etc., will be necessary, especially for the development of reliable THz communications systems.

The goal of this Special Section in IEEE Access is to provide insight into the peculiar characteristics of electromagnetic propagation at millimeter wave and THz frequencies, to investigate and compare different channel modeling approaches, application scenarios, system architectures, information and power transmission techniques as well as novel localization and sensing solutions that the use of such frequency bands will foster.

Wirelessly Powered Networks: Algorithms, Applications and Technologies

Submission Deadline:  31 October 2018

IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Wirelessly Powered Networks: Algorithms, Applications and Technologies.

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) is, by definition, a process that occurs in any system where electrical energy is transmitted from a power source to a load without the connection of electrical conductors. WPT is the driving technology that will enable the next stage in the current consumer electronics revolution, including battery-less sensors, passive RF identification (RFID), passive wireless sensors, the Internet of Things and 5G, and machine-to-machine solutions. WPT-enabled devices can be powered by harvesting energy from the surroundings, including electromagnetic (EM) energy, leading to a new communication networks paradigm, the Wirelessly Powered Networks.

While recent advances in wireless utensils appear to be unlimited, the dependence of their operation on batteries remains a weakness, mainly because batteries come with a limited lifetime and require a fast charge time to achieve continuous operation. This is where the technologies of WPT become useful, bringing together wireless energy and data transmission. WPT technologies substitute the traditional powering concept, where a cable or a battery is connected to the wireless device, by the transmission of energy over the air in an efficient way to power-up the device.

Wirelessly Powered Networks have recently evolved into a very active research field, as well as a topic of rapid technological progress, emerging practical developments and standardization activities. However, a solid foundational, technological, and applied background is still necessary for Wirelessly Powered Networks to achieve their full potential. The provisioning of relevant technological models, algorithmic design and analysis methods, networking principles, circuit and system design, and application methodologies is a challenging task. This Special Section in IEEE Access invites academic and industrial experts to make their contributions on Wirelessly Powered Networks. It will selectively span a coherent, large spectrum of fundamental aspects of WPT, and will focus on three main thematic pillars and relevant themes: Algorithms, Applications and Technologies.

• Optimization and approximation algorithms (mobility/energy/data management)
• Joint operation scheduling (routing, data gathering, ambient harvesting)
• Precise algorithmic models and efficient distributed protocols
• WPT devices deployment

Multi-Function RF Components for Current and Future 5G Wireless Communications

Submission Deadline:  31 May 2018

IEEE Access invites manuscript submissions in the area of Multi-Function RF Components for Current and Future 5G Wireless Communications.

With the increasing demand of wireless connection, wireless communication including 5G is continuously and rapidly growing. Modern wireless communication systems, such as 5G, bring great challenges on radio frequency (RF) sub-systems, which should support multiple RF chains operating at different frequency bands and for various modes. In the 5G RF sub-systems, massive multi-input multi-output (MIMO) antennas are the key technology for the success of 5G in which there are tens or even hundreds of RF chains. In these cases, a large number of transceivers and other components must co-exist within a limited volume. The power consumption and size of RF components are problematic issues, which play an important role in the overall behavior of wireless systems. To solve this problem, extensive work has been done, focusing on the reduction of power consumption and size of various RF components. Although great advances have recently been made, current techniques are still lacking in successful implementations of compact and low-power RF sub-systems fulfilling the increasing demand. It is therefore urgent to develop new techniques which can support the requirements of multiple RF chains in current and future 5G wireless systems.

Fortunately, the technique of co-designing multiple RF operational functionalities to realize multi-function components has exhibited the potential to achieve compact size and low power consumption. Further progress in this area will be made by studying the theory and techniques of multi-component co-design so that the resulting multi-function RF devices outperform the classic cascades of multiple mono-function components.

The objective of this Special Section in IEEE Access is to identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to multi-function RF components for current and future wireless communication system with emphasis on 5G. For this Special Section, we seek prospective authors to submit their high-quality original and unpublished contributions, surveys, and case studies on this research area.

• Co-design of antennas and filters
• Antennas with integrated power combining capability
• Power amplifiers with integrated filtering responses
• Filtering power dividers/couplers

• Filtering with differential-mode operation.
• Rectennas with integrated design of antenna and rectifier
• Multi-function reconfigurable filters (simultaneous bandpass, bandstop, all-pass and/or all-reject response)
• Novel analysis method for multi-function RF components

We also highly recommend the submission of multimedia with each article as it significantly increases the visibility, downloads, and citations of articles.

President’s Message

Branislav M. Notaroš, President, IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society April 2024

Welcome to the second President’s message of the year! At the time of writing this message, I have been serving you and the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society as President for a little more than month and a half, and I have truly enjoyed my work. I would like to thank all AP-S leaders and volunteers for their fantastic work, collaboration, and help in advancing our Society and activities to the benefit of the AP-S membership and AP community and profession at large.

The first couple months of the year and my term were extremely busy indeed. In this message, I would like to summarize for you fundamental changes made or initiated and major actions that the Society leadership and volunteers have undertaken. A number of decisions made are aimed at establishing a foundation for advancing the structure and operation of our Society, and I think you will want to know all of this. Changes are exciting! We will be working together on their implementation and realization in the coming weeks and months.

The IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine publishes feature articles and columns that describe engineering activities within its scope, taking place in industry, government, and universities. Emphasis is placed on providing the reader with a general understanding of either a particular subject or of the technical challenges being addressed by various organizations, as well as their capabilities to cope with these challenges. Review, tutorial, and historical articles are welcome, as are articles describing examples of good engineering. A detailed statement of the scope and field of interest of the Magazine is available in the society bylaws at http://www.ieeeaps.org.

If a paper could be equally submitted to the Transactions on Antennas and Propagation (TAP), the Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (AWPL), or the Open Journal of Antennas and Propagation (OJAP), the paper may not work for the Antennas and Propagation Magazine, as it has a high likelihood of being out of scope. We especially encourage articles written specifically for the Magazine and are accessible and understandable to readers who may be working in many different fields. It is highly encouraged to contact the Editor-in-Chief or column editor prior to submission to discuss the potential paper and whether it fits within APM's scope. The Editor-in-Chief may also give the authors suggestions on how a paper could better fit into APM's scope and have a higher rate of success in proceeding into the review process. The Editor-in-Chief reserves the right to accept, reject, and/or edit any and all material submitted.

All review and tutorial papers must have a pre-approved proposal by the Editor-in-Chief prior to submission: link to proposal form .

As we would like a variety of topics to be presented in the Magazine, a proposal will be more successful if it is not similar to a review or tutorial topic we have covered in the past. Previous topics published recently include:

• Wearable textile antennas
• Deep space stations
• MIMO dielectric resonator antennas
• Optically transparent antennas
• Injection-locked photonic oscillators
• SIW power dividers

Some columns are open for outside submissions (more details below). Please select the appropriate manuscript type when submitting. If that manuscript type is not available for selection in ScholarOne, then that column is not accepting outside submissions for now. However, you are welcome to contact the Associate Editor of closed columns with potential article ideas.

All articles for technical columns should follow the guidelines for feature papers . Articles for non-technical columns should have a maximum of 5 one-column pages and a maximum of 5 photos, though we welcome additional multimedia included as supplementary material .

For specific questions regarding columns, please contact the Associate Editor for that particular column.

This non-technical column is a space for those in the Antennas and Propagation Society to disseminate information to the Magazine's readers regarding activities that take place within the society and for Adcom committees to provide updates on ongoing committee activities. These can include meeting and conference reports as well. All reports must be directly related to the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society. If the report is about a specific AP-S committee (including conference and meeting reports related to the committee), the report would need to be approved and submitted from a committee chair.

Each report is limited to a maximum of 2 one-column pages and should be submitted to ScholarOne, using the manuscript type "Column - APS Committees and Activities”. A maximum of 2 photos are allowed on the main report. Additional photos and other multimedia can be included as supplementary material and would be connected to the published report via QR code. Please send supplementary material as a separate file or ZIP folder.

A report can be submitted at any time and will be published in the next available issue. If there is a specific issue that a report should appear in, then that report should be sent at least 3 full months before the issue is published (example: a report for the June issue should be submitted before March). There will be a maximum of 5 reports allowed per column per issue, accepted based on date of submission. However, if a committee or specific activity has had a report published in one issue, their next report will be published only once all others that have submitted reports in the queue have been published.

This is a technical column that welcomes articles on biomedical applications of electromagnetics, antennas, and propagation in terms of research, education, outreach, and more.

If you are an author with a book that would be of interest to the antennas and propagation community and would like to have a book reviewed in the AP Magazine, please contact both the Editorial Assistant and the Book Review column editor with the title of book, the publisher, and the name and email address for the publisher point-of-contact. If the column editor does proceed with the review of your book, please note that it may take some time to find a qualified reviewer and for us to receive the completed review.

This is a non-technical column intended to provide impactful and effective techniques, discussions, and methodologies within the educational context in the field of Antennas and Propagation. They should be written in language that is understandable to readers working in other disciplines. All Education Corner articles must have a pre-approved proposal before submission. Please refer to the proposal form instructions for further information. Proposals can be sent as a Word file or using the fillable PDF form . Submissions to the Education Corner that are not pre-approved may be rejected automatically. When submitting the manuscript, please make sure to note in your cover letter the date of approval and include the approved proposal in your manuscript files.

This is a technical column that would like articles on electromagnetics topics that should ideally include the following features:

• historical contextualization,
• maximal simplification (without comprising accuracy),
• pedagogical creativity, and
• first-principle methodology.

Contributions on topics outside the typical activity areas of the Antennas and Propagation Society are particularly welcome.

This is a technical column that focuses on methods/aspects of electromagnetic (EM) field modelling; and/or interesting, relevant, practically useful insights into EM modelling. Contributions should be within the context of applicability to antennas and propagation. Substantial novelty is not a hard requirement, but added value in the presentation of methods, tools and/or insights is.

This is a non-technical column that promotes matters of historical interest and relevance to electromagnetics and antennas and propagation in the field of interest of the Society. In addition, it will occasionally report activities of the Antennas & Propagation History Committee. It welcomes contributions on the historical heritage of this Society as well as major past discoveries or inventions. These contributions may involve topics of potential interest for existing or potential IEEE Milestones, events sponsored by the AP History Committee, as well as individuals who made major contributions to to the field. Opinions pieces of historical interest are welcome also.

This is a non-technical column that presents a wide range of topics and articles related to the Antennas and Propagation industry, including interviews with technology company executives and founders and articles on important historical developments to advance industry, manufacturing especially from prototypes to commercial products, profiles on local companies on a global scale, and collaboration between industry and academia. More details can be found here .

Please feel free to contact our Meetings & Symposia and Short Courses column editor for meetings, symposia, and courses that would be of interest to the antennas and propagation community. Not only are these published in the magazine, they are also included on our website ( https://ieeeaps.org/publications/ieee-antennas-and-propagation-magazine ). Please note that if there are paper submission or registration deadlines, the Magazine is often working 3 months ahead of time. Please also make sure to let the column editor know as soon as possible if there are any changes to the information provided to him, so that we can ensure we have the most up-to-date information for our readers as possible.

If you are interested in guest editing a special issue or special series for possible publication in the AP Magazine, please contact the Editor-in-Chief, for more information on special issue guidelines. You are also welcome to send us a proposal form with your ideas.

As we would like a variety of topics to be presented in the Magazine, a proposal will be more successful if it is not similar to a special issue topic we have covered in the past. Previous topics published in the last 5 years include:

• Ultrawideband Antennas
• Satellite Antennas
• EM Education
• Artificial Intelligence
• Quantum Technologies
• EM Imaging for Food
• Characteristic Modes
• EM Metasurfaces

Paper Writing Style and Guidelines

Contributions to the IEEE Antennas and Propagation magazine are only accepted through the ScholarOne Manuscripts web-based system at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/apm-ieee .

All manuscripts should be in English. The main body of the paper (published both in paper and online) should have a writing style understandable to the average reader in the Antennas and Propagation Society including those doing research outside the field of expertise of the manuscript. It should have a preferred length of 10 one-column pages or less and it must not exceed 14 one-column pages. Papers that are over 14 pages in length may result in automatic rejection. Papers must use the one-column IEEE AP Magazine template, which can be found using the IEEE Template Selector ( https://template-selector.ieee.org/ ). PDF format is preferred, though Microsoft Word documents (.doc, .docx) are allowed.

Long technical developments and equations should be kept to a minimal amount and a preference should be instead given to qualitative descriptions, figures, diagrams, and graphs for delineating concepts and relationships.

All papers submitted to the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine should not be simultaneously submitted to any other publications until a final decision (acceptance or rejection) has been made (the only exception being announcements). If we determine that the paper or a significant portion of the paper was submitted to another publication at the same time or during the revision process, that may be grounds for automatic rejection and reporting to IEEE.

We encourage supplementary material (published only online on IEEE Xplore) to be included, which contain extra sections that could be, when needed, more technical in nature. These sections could contain mathematical developments, extra experiments, multimedia, and more specialized content addressing those interested in going deeper in the topic of the paper. We are especially interested in video abstracts and other similar multimedia related to your paper. There is no page limit for the supplementary material part. If your paper is published, the supplementary material would be linked to the printed Magazine via QR code for ease of reader access. If supplementary material is included with the manuscript, please note it in the cover letter, clearly name the supplementary file, and include a Word file labeled “Multimedia ReadMe” containing the following information:

• Description: A general description of the process, data, etc., that the files are presenting
• Size: The total size of all the files, in MB (up to two decimal places)
• Player Information: A list of the software programs that are needed to properly display or play any multimedia files
• Packing List: A list of all the individual files included in the package (a “checklist”)

We are now including all meeting and conference reports in the AP-S Committees and Activities column. Please use the guidelines for that column in the formatting of your report. Please note that a photo cannot have multiple photos contained within it. Additional photos can be included as a separate PDF as supplementary material. All meetings and conferences must have been sponsored directly by the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society.

Calls for Papers or other announcements should be only 1 page, and the event should be sponsored by the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society unless otherwise arranged beforehand. Please be aware if you have submission deadlines that we work up to 3 months ahead of publication.

If you would like to advertise in the AP Magazine, we have two options:

All papers submitted go through a series of administrative checks, including similarity matches to other academic/technical papers. Our threshold for both individual and total similarity matches is relatively low as we encourage novelty in submitted materials, and all significant matches must be cited. Large matches or failure to cite sources may result in automatic rejection and authors of these papers will be reported to IEEE.

All IEEE publications require an Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) for all authors in order to submit a manuscript or review a proof. ORCID is a persistent unique identifier for researchers and functions similarly to an article’s Digital Object Identifier (DOI). If you are a new user, you will be able to register a new ORCID or associate your ScholarOne account with an existing ORCID by following on-screen instructions in the Author Center. More information about ORCID can be found here "ORCID Info Page" along with Frequently Asked Questions "ORCID FAQ"

Submission of material will be interpreted as assignment and release of copyright and any and all other rights as if the standard IEEE Copyright and US Export Control Compliance Forms had been signed by the copyright owner. Once a paper is accepted for publication, you will be asked to complete an electronic IEEE copyright form after submitting final files. This transfers ownership of the article to IEEE. If a paper is not accepted for publication, the author is free to submit elsewhere.

There are no page charges to be published in the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine. Each article is published in full color in the print magazine and on IEEE Xplore. Because there are no page charges, free reprints are not provided.

The IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine only publishes a limited number of feature papers and usually only one paper per column per issue. Once accepted for publication, the paper will be placed in the publication queue. Feature articles and columns will generally be published in the order of submission and acceptance. Feature articles accepted as part of a special issue will be published all together in that issue.

Due to the magazine’s specific publication schedule, the limited space per issue, and other factors, there may be some delay from the time a paper is accepted to when it is published. Accepted feature papers will be published online on IEEE Xplore Early Access as soon as possible after acceptance. Columns are only available on IEEE Xplore after they have been published in an issue.

For your reference, here are some of the recent statistics for the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine:
