Dear {{lead.First Name:default=Subscriber}},

We are pleased to present the February 2025 issue of IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, featuring 60 newly published articles. We invite you to explore the 24 most-read papers of 2024, available open access until the end of February on the TAP website. You will also find open calls for Special Issue Papers, as well as newly released content in our TAP Focus and What’s Hot in Antennas and Propagation video series. This month, we put a focus on Phased Array Antennas. At the end of this newsletter, you will find the complete collection of Focus Videos on Phased Array Antennas, providing in-depth insights into this topic.

Happy reading!
