Aims & Scope

The IEEE Microwave and Wireless Technology Letters (MWTL) (formerly IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters (MWCL)) is published monthly to provide short papers (up to 4 pages; 3 pages of text plus up to 1 page of references) of original and significant contributions relevant to all aspects of microwave/millimetre-wave technology, with emphasis on devices, components, circuits, guided wave structures, systems and applications, covering a broad electromagnetic spectrum from megahertz to terahertz.

The MWTL is the preeminent publication of short papers concerning RF and microwave theory and technology.

Its acceptance rate is about 25%, and the median submission-to-first-decision time is within 3 weeks.
