Dear {{lead.First Name:default=edit me}},

In the October 2023 edition of our newsletter, we share 76 newly published articles. In addition, we have selected and offer open access for a limited time a set of highly accessed papers from our Special Issue Archive, highlighting topics at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Antennas and Propagation.

Don’t forget to visit TAP’s website to read our three new Featured Articles and view the latest videos of our TAP Focus and WHAP series. Finally, we invite you to submit your papers to the upcoming Special Issue on Measurement Technologies for Emerging 5G and Beyond Channel Characterization and Antenna Systems, which will be open to submissions for one more month.

Your feedback and content-related suggestions based on your experience as authors and readers are always welcome. This will help us ensure that the journal delivers content tailored to your needs.

Happy reading!

Sincerely,

Konstantina (Nantia) Nikita

Editor-in-Chief

A selection of highly accessed papers from TAP’s 2022 Special Issues on the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning with Antennas and Propagation will be offered open access on IEEE Xplore for a limited time! Discover the first two papers, which are part of the Special Issue on Artificial Intelligence in Radio Propagation for Communications.

• Artificial Intelligence Enabled Radio Propagation for Communications - Part I: Channel Characterization and Antenna-Channel Optimization
• Artificial Intelligence Enabled Radio Propagation for Communications - Part II: Scenario Identification and Channel Modeling

Starting from late September 2023, all new submissions are exclusively processed through the newly introduced IEEE Author Portal which offers several advantages, streamlining the submission processes for authors by making it faster and more user friendly. To sign in to IEEE Author Portal please use your IEEE account. In case you don’t have please create a new one.

* Authors who submitted prior to the IEEE Author Portal launch, will finish the peer review life cycle of submission(s) currently under review on Manuscript Central. 

TAP Focus is an exciting thematic video collection designed to keep readers updated on the hottest topics in the antennas and propagation field. It includes short, captivating videos featuring the most popular articles published in the journal, all neatly organized according to their focus topics. Watch the two new videos on Reflectarray Antennas and Machine Learning Assisted Antenna Designs of the collection and dive into the forefront of antennas and propagation research.
