AWR runs a graduate student initiative which gifts a one-year complete AWR Design Environment™ software license to graduates in order to help them jumpstart their careers. Using this initiative Dr. Dominic Fitz Patrick from Cardiff University, UK started PoweRFul Microwave, an engineering consultancy specializing in RF and microwave amplifier design.
In the year since founding PoweRFul Microwave, Dominic has secured customer design wins that called upon the use of Microwave Office® nonlinear engine to design power amplifiers in frequency bands from VHF to 20GHz. He has also used AXIEM® in the design of planar baluns, as well as presented his novel design works at an AWR/NI event in the UK.
This is a great program that encourages entrepreneurship in this sector by enabling engineers like Dominic to explore such opportunities. The complete story can be seen on AWR’s website - http://www.awrcorp.com/customer-stories/powerful-microwave
AWR has a separate page on their site which talks about such programs - http://www.awrcorp.com/university
