This episode pulls back the curtain on the wireless technology that powers everything around us. From Wi-Fi and 5G to long-range links connecting entire communities. In this Episode Dermot chats with Dr. John Sanford, Professor of Practice at UC San Diego where he dives into the breakthroughs that changed the industry: how MIMO went from a wild academic idea to a capacity-boosting superpower, how multipath (normally a problem) became a tool to create 12 independent channels at once, and why smart antenna design can make or break real-world performance.
You’ll hear stories from the front lines of antenna innovation, including the creation of ultra-low-cost wireless systems deployed by the thousands, and a glimpse into the future with optical phased arrays and liquid-crystal reflector technology that could rewrite what’s possible in high-frequency communications. If you’ve ever wondered how wireless links get faster, smarter, and more reliable year after year or what the next wave of antenna tech looks like then this episode is a must-listen.
