Designing a Radio

Objective 2

For my objective 2 I have to find out an existing product, which is related, to mine, i.e. I have searched over the Internet and catalogue and found 2 similar types of products. These 2 products are small and quite well shaped. In the following I will evaluate these two products to show exactly what functions it has and the type of the components laid out in the circuit board.

Product 1

This is how one off the products I researched looks from front and back. This product is sold in Argos for the price off £8.99 and works with 2 AAA batteries. I quite like the style of the cover on this product and am thinking to make my product have a similar type of cover. The cover of this product is plastic and in an oval shape which is quite attractive.

How the product works

This product uses two AAA batteries, which actually last about 4 months. This radio does not have a manual tuner but instead has the scan tuner, which is easy to use, just press the scan button and it scans for the next appropriate station. It also has a built in speaker, which helps the user to listen even without the earphones and can also be heard using earphones

Product 2

This is another product that will be similar to my product and as you can see the picture on the left that is how the product 2 looks like. I have searched this product off the Internet at , which is £9.95 (about 96p more than product 1) as you can see the style of this radio is quite natural and not attractive. But people still buy such radios because of the brand name SONY. Some people ...
