 Dr. Pavel Kovar is an Associate Professor of Radio Engineering and Radio Navigation at the Czech Technical University in Prague.
-His father, Vratislav Kovar, was an aviation designer who developed radio navigation and communication instruments. In 1969, he patented "Variable frequency divider circuit wiring," which enabled the design of a fully synthesised VHF Air Com transceiver, LUN 3524.
+His father, Vratislav, was an aviation designer.
-Since childhood, he has been preparing for a career as an electronics developer.

-His father introduced him to mathematics, physics, and electronics. They developed various electronic devices at home. Since childhood, he has been preparing for a career as an electronics designer.
-After completing his doctorate, he worked for three years as a developer of aviation communication systems. He modernized the communication system for the MiG-21 fighter for the Czech Army. Neustále se snaží kombinovat teorii s praxí.
-In 2000, due to the problematic situation in the Czech industry at the end of the 1990s and due to a health handicap, he returned to the university as a teacher.
