The IEEE Microwave and Wireless Technology Letters (MWTL) (formerly IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters (MWCL)) is published monthly and features short, high-impact papers presenting original contributions across all aspects of radio frequency, microwave, millimeter-wave, and terahertz science and technology. The journal emphasizes advances in theory, modeling techniques, materials, devices, components, circuits, guided-wave structures, systems, and applications, covering the electromagnetic spectrum from megahertz to terahertz.

MWTL is the premier journal for the rapid publication of short papers in RF and microwave theory and technology. The journal maintains an acceptance rate of approximately 25%, with a median time from submission to first decision of less than three weeks.

Published papers are available electronically through IEEE Xplore to digital subscribers.

Authors interested in submitting a manuscript for publication in MWTL should first read the Information for Authors. Manuscripts are limited to 4 pages in total, consisting of up to 3.5 pages of technical content (the title, abstract, text, figures, tables, and acknowledgment, etc.), with the remaining space (at least 0.5 page) reserved exclusively for references. In addition, a graphical abstract is now required for every submission. For manuscripts with more than six co-authors, authors must also provide brief descriptions of each author’s contributions (including the approximate percentage contribution of each author).

IEEE supports the publication of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) author names in the native language alongside the English versions of the names in the author list of an article. For more information, please refer to the relevant IEEE author guidelines ( click here).
