This article reflects on the personal and professional journey of navigating risk, resilience, and growth as an engineer. From building a home laboratory during the COVID-19 lockdown to conducting clinical research in a hospital environment and ultimately cofounding a start-up, the narrative highlights how stepping beyond one’s comfort zone can lead to meaningful innovation. Key lessons include the value of resilience in uncertainty, the importance of recognizing the human impact of engineering, and the necessity of making courageous choices, even when the safe path seems more attractive. By sharing these experiences, the article aims to inspire engineers—particularly those early in their careers—to embrace risk as a catalyst for impact and to approach their work with clarity, intention, and a focus on societal benefit.

One of the most common antenna elements is the folded dipole. It is used as the driving element in many television receiving arrays. It was invented in the 1930s by Philip S. Carter as television services came into operation. Subsequently, several people contributed to its refinement, including Rudolf Guertler. This article describes its invention and refinements made to it over the years and the backgrounds of Carter and Guertler.

In this column article, millimeter-wave (mmWave)-over-fiber-based distributed antenna systems (DASs) are showcased to realize reliable high-data-rate wireless links for demanding applications, such as interactive virtual reality, where line-of-sight blockage due to the presence of the user’s own body and external (human) blockers frequently occurs. Distributed architectures, such as DASs, pose a good solution to alleviate these losses, while keeping the background exposure low. Additionally, [air-filled (AF)] substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) antenna topologies are compared to dipole and patch antennas and are found to be more robust in close proximity to the body, in terms of both bioelectromagnetic (bio-EM) effects and communication performance. Finally, a practical demonstration of a mmWave DAS with head-mounted user equipment (UE) exhibits reliable 12-Gb/s wireless links in the n257 band under full rotation and head tilting of the user. By leveraging distributed multiple-input, multiple-output (DMIMO) techniques, the throughput can even be raised to 24 Gb/s.
