AWR Media Alert: Microwave Office Enables First Pass Design Success for World's Only Pocket-Sized Sports Radar Gun

El Segundo, CA  -  August 19, 2010

What:   Pocket Radar Success Story

Pocket Radar™, Inc. designs, engineers and manufactures the world’s only pocket-sized personal speed radar gun that delivers accurate real-time speed measurements with the touch of a button. Designed for use as a sports radar gun by coaches, players and motorsports fans, Pocket Radar provides full-sized performance in a palm-sized package.

With very tight budget and time-to-market pressures, rendering multiple board turns with a cut-and try approach was out of the question. Virtual prototyping and design optimization using Microwave office provide to be the best alternative.

"The most positive feature of Microwave Office is its constant innovation towards a powerful, highly integrated, accurate and easy-to-use design environment,” said Phil Jobson, design consultant for Pocket Radar. “Microwave Office allowed me to quickly model and redesign the Pocket Radar24 GHz microwave system and obtain first-pass success."
