 El Segundo, California – January

What:
  The
University of
California (UC) at Davis offers a senior project course within the Electrical and
Computer Engineering Department that has students designing and building radar systems.
To add a fun and competitive element to the class, the students participate in a competition
at the end of the course in which scores are tallied on the accuracy, power and weight
of their final radar devices. In the most recent 2017 competition, the NI AWR software
team awarded a $100 gift card and a complimentary one-year full license of
NI AWR Design Environment
software to the winning team of Michelle Chang, Michael Meegan, Gene Uehara and Vladislav
Vakulchik.
"The ability of my students to successfully design and implement sophisticated radar
systems that can perform range, Doppler, and specific absorption rates (SAR) measurements
is greatly enhanced by the use of NI AWR software," said Assistant Professor Xiaoguang
"Leo" Liu. "My classroom time is significantly enhanced because the students spend more
effort on learning RF/ microwave concepts and skills and less on learning the software."
