    Special Issue Information

    Dear Colleagues,

    The rapid evolution of wireless communication systems (5G/6G, satellite internet, mmW and THz networks) demands innovative approaches to acoustic and vibrational technologies for signal processing, beam steering, and adaptive control. Surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices, tunable dielectrics (e.g., liquid crystals), and phased array antennas are at the forefront of these advancements, enabling compact, high-frequency, and reconfigurable solutions. These technologies bridge the gap between acoustics, vibrations, and electromagnetics, offering transformative potential for next-generation wireless, sensing, and industrial applications.

    This Special Issue is dedicated to cutting-edge research on acoustic and vibrational technologies that enhance the performance, efficiency, and adaptability of wireless systems. Contributions spanning theoretical, computational, and experimental studies are encouraged, including but not limited to:

    • Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) Devices for RF filtering, sensing, and signal processing
    • Tunable Materials (e.g., liquid crystals, ferroelectrics) for reconfigurable phase shifters and delay lines
    • Phased Array Antennas & Beam Steering via acoustic/vibrational control mechanisms
    • Millimeter-Wave and THz Systems leveraging acoustic wave propagation
    • Vibration-Aware Wireless Design for satellite internet, IoT, and 5G/6G networks
    • Computational Modeling (CFD, FEA) of acoustic-vibrational effects in RF devices
    • LabVIEW-Based Instrumentation for real-time vibration and acoustic analysis
    • Structural Health Monitoring using vibration-based wireless sensors
    • Multiphysics Integration of acoustics, vibrations, and electromagnetics

    As this field intersects acoustics, electromagnetics, and materials science, interdisciplinary research addressing theoretical challenges and practical implementations is highly welcomed
