Editorial Opportunities: Submit an Article
Why Publish?
The editors of Microwave Journal invite you to consider publishing an article in the print edition or online at MicrowaveJournal.com. To see your work published is a satisfying recognition of the successful outcome of engineering principles applied to problem solving, blended with creativity, attention to detail and determination.
Microwave Journal covers all markets using RF/microwave technology, such as 5G and 6G, IoT, broadband, satellite communications, military systems and commercial radar. We publish articles describing the subsystems, components and technologies that make these applications possible: active antennas, amplifiers, oscillators, control components, semiconductors, passive components, cables and connectors, test and measurement and electronic design software. Technical articles describing a product design, the development or application of technology and tutorials or overviews on the use of RF/microwave technology in systems are interesting to our readers.

To Submit an Article
If you have an idea for an article, please email an abstract to Jenn DiMarco. The subject line of the email should say “Article Submission.”
If you have already written an article, please email it as a Word document or PDF file. No special format is required; however, please include the text, references and all figures. Articles will be reviewed by our Editorial Review Board (ERB) to determine interest. The ERB considers the following:
- The subject is relevant and of interest to Microwave Journal readers, i.e., it must clearly address a recognized industry need, and the solution must demonstrate a practical implementation.
- Design articles contribute something “new” to the technical literature and don’t simply repeat prior work; however, the results don’t have to extend the state-of-the-art.
- Design articles include both simulated and measured data, with any discrepancies explained.
- Antenna articles include measured antenna patterns.
- The article should be complete and clear.
- The article was not published in another publication.
To be published in Microwave Journal or indexed, submitted articles must have a maximum word count of 3000 words with 6 to 10 images (including figures, tables, graphs, drawings and photographs) in total that help tell the story. Please note that, in cases where a given figure is comprised of multiple components or images (often labeled as A, B, C, etc.), each separate component is counted towards the total number of images despite grouping or labeling. Further information regarding article image/graphics submission requirements are available here.
