About Us

We have been serving the commercial broadcast industry and commercial design clients for the past 7 years, designing award winning products.

We offer world class RF, audio, and analog electronic system engineering product design services. We take a product from concept to commercial practice on SMT PCB boards. Our prototypes have a finished product appearance suitable for client demonstrations. We have fine line SMT prototype and rework capabilities rivaling any DC firm right here in Hollywood, MD.

Our in house EDA includes full Agilent Genesys Designer Pro synthesis and simulation with microwave EM analysis, Eagle PCB Layout with auto routing and Schematic Capture, Graphicode's GC Prevue Plus gerber editor, Beige Bag B² Spice, and AWR's Microwave office.

Bill Sacks, PBE is an SBE Certified, FCC Licensed, Professional Broadcast Engineer/ Senior Radio Engineer (KM4DN) with 35 years of solid design engineering experience & is a member of the AES & the SBE.

Kim Sacks (KB3MZX), co-owner of Signal Bars R Us, has five years of CAD, CAM, and broadcast engineering experience, she's also a member of the SBE.

We have designed many digital audio broadcast products for Henry Engineering; we've also designed and built custom proprietary interfaces for Video Networks, Inc.; along with engineering consulting work for Kiwa Electronics, and engineering services for many other firms and broadcasters.

Kim and Bill working as a team have won four Radio World Newspaper's "Cool Stuff" product design awards together, including an award for the design of the popular USB Match Plus.

In late 2005 we moved to Southern Maryland. When we moved here we realized that our cellphones would not work inside our house, dropped calls on most of the back roads here, and they barely worked outside the car, in our own driveway.

We quickly realized that if we're having cellphone reception problems in Hollywood, surely our neighbors and much the rest of Southern Maryland had the same difficulties.

We, as engineers, know how and why radio frequencies work or do not work. We decided we would make our make cellphone's work in Southern Maryland's notoriously poor signal coverage areas and we did so.

Now we never have dropped or missed calls anywhere in "The County" and our cellphones work at home, as they should, with five bar signals.
