Radio Science (RDS) publishes original research papers on electromagnetic propagation at radio frequencies from extremely low frequencies to tremendously high frequencies (3 Hz to 3 THz), and at visible light frequencies (430 THz to 790 THz) and its applications. Contributions may address propagation through, interaction with, and remote sensing of structures, geophysical media, plasmas, and materials, and applications to remote sensing of the Earth and extra-terrestrial signals. Contributions may cover measurement, modelling, prediction and forecasting techniques pertinent to fields and waves, antennas, signals, and systems both terrestrial and air/space-based; topics may include but are not limited to the following:

Radio astronomy
Remote sensing
Radar including SuperDarn and incoherent radar
Satellite communication
Telecommunications across the electromagnetic spectrum
Visible light communication
Channel modelling
Positioning, navigation, and timing
Propagation in presence of artificial material and meta-surfaces
Wireless power transfer
On-body networks
Electromagnetic compatibility
Total Radiated Power (TRP) and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Quantum communication

The journal’s scope includes artificial intelligence and machine learning, as they apply to the above list in the study of radio science.
Technical papers disclosing new and significant research are also welcome. The technical content of papers must be both new and significant. Experimental data must be complete and include sufficient description of experimental apparatus, methods, and relevant experimental conditions.
