I have had the great honor to serve as Editor-in-Chief (EiC) of the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagations (TAP) for just over 6 years. As described more fully below, I worked with a great ...team of Track Editors, Associate Editors, Reviewers, and Authors, and together we have raised the profile of TAP and achieved unprecedented performance.
This September issue contains two sets of articles: the Special Issue on Low-Cost Wide-Angle Beam-Scanning Antennas and Regular papers. This Special Issue is motivated by the fact that wide-angle ...beam-scanning antennas are becoming increasingly more important in many applications, including communications, sensing, and automotive.
The IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation (TAP) introduced an Associate Editor for Communications and Membership in December 2020. Prof. Marco Salucci, University of Trento, Italy, became the ...first to fulfill this role. The purpose of this new position is twofold. One purpose is to communicate to readers, external and internal to IEEE, the value of our contributions to the technologies that are used daily by billions of people around the world. Another purpose is to increase membership by introducing creative strategies to: 1) attract people that exploit the devices and methodologies developed by our authors; 2) to educate and inform people about our society; and 3) reach out to people traditionally affiliated with other societies.

This August issue contains two sets of articles: the Special Issue on Artificial Intelligence: New Frontiers in Real-Time Inverse Scattering and Electromagnetic Imaging and Regular Papers. This ...Special Issue is motivated by the fact that, in recent years, it has become evident that artificial intelligence provides new innovative solutions for complex problems. Therefore, the Editorial Board of the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation invited applications for special issues related to how artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning can assist with challenges in the field of antennas and propagation. Three special issues were accepted and this one focuses on a unified vision for the application of artificial intelligence in inverse scattering and electromagnetic imaging.
The IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation is one of the most influential publications of IEEE. Its scientific contributions attract a lot of interest and are among the most downloaded across ...all IEEE publications. In 2021, the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation ranked third out of 389 publications available on IEEE Xplore for total number of downloads. The IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation ranks second for total number of downloads out of all IEEE publications, when open access journals are excluded. In addition, the bibliometric measures released by Clarivate for year 2021 indicate that the journal performance has set a new record in its history, with an impact factor of 4.824, a 5-year impact factor that reached 5.005, an eigenfactor score of 0.041, and article influence score of 1.048.

A rectangular metallic leaky waveguide loaded with liquid crystals (LC) and operating in its fundamental TE mode at 1 THz is proposed to mitigate the well-known trade-off between directivity and ...tunable angular range of dynamic beamscanning antennas. The radiating aperture consists of a partially reflecting surface (PRS) realized through a one-dimensional array of longitudinal slots etched on one of the metallic walls of the waveguide to efficiently couple with the propagating TE leaky mode. The antenna performance is evaluated by defining suitable figures of merit that take into account the beamscanning feature and the gain peak. These figures of merit are evaluated for different combinations of the antenna design parameters. After optimization, a tunable angular range of about 28° is reached, while maintaining a gain of around 7 dBi. A leaky-wave analysis of a simplified model of the structure allows to design the antenna without resorting to computationally expensive optimization processes. More rigorous models are then considered to accurately analyze the LC dynamics and the radiating properties of PRS. The three-dimensional structure is finally validated through full-wave simulations, showing a remarkable agreement with the theoretical predictions obtained with the simplified model.
