CUSTOM AND STANDARD PRODUCTS
Although Polara's primary thrust has been in
custom-designed products that meet its customers unique requirements, many of Polara's
designs have resulted in standard products of high quality, produced with a skill and
economy that permits very competitive pricing. Polara offers its own line
of custom and standard products
which include passive and active delay lines of several types, pulse transformers, inductors,
various magnetic devices, LC filters, converters, and other special components and
subsystems.
COMMERCIAL AND MILITARY APPLICATIONS
Polara's products are used in a broad range of
commercial and military applications, including both large and small computer systems,
avionics equipment, communications systems and equipment, FLIR command and control
systems, radars and sonars, and advanced medical electronic equipment.
ENGINEERING EXPERTISE
From top management down, Polara is engineering-oriented.
Our engineering staff has well over 100 years of combined experience in electronic
design techniques and related mechanical design technology. In engineering new products,
Polara has consistently been willing to tackle problems that pushed the state of the art.
Sometimes this entailed meeting a difficult electronic criterion such as a delay time, a
pulse shape, or a Q requirement. On other occasions the challenge was to produce an
especially small or particularly low profile package. Through all these engineering challenges,
Polara has emphasized the creative side of engineering to turn our customers' technical
problems into clear-cut, functional solutions, implemented in a timely and cost-effective
manner.
INDUSTRY INNOVATOR
Among other industry innovations, Polara pioneered the
present low-cost, industry standard DIP delay lines, using transfer-molded, epoxy/powdered
iron coil forms. Recently we have developed micro-miniature air coils and surface mount
low profile inductors and transformers.
COST EFFECTIVE PRODUCTS
While Polara's custom products
tend to emphasize the creative side of the firm's engineering capabilities, standard
products display our concern for cost effectiveness. Polara's standard products actually
embody much the same technologies as the custom ones, except that production has been
systematized or automated to make the prices as attractive as possible to the customer.
MILITARY
CAPABILITIES
Since its inception, Polara has served military programs. The avionics
systems of the F104, F111 and F16; the Maverick missile IR guidance
system; the M-1 tank fire control system; the Harpoon Missile; the Cruise
missile guidance system - these are just a few of the military programs
for which Polara has supplied electromagnetic products of the highest
quality and reliability.
