What is the wavelengh of radars?

Basically there are no physical limitations of wavelength where a RADAR unit may operate, thereby it can operate practically on any wavelength from ELF (extremely low frequency) where wavelength can be as high as several hundreds kilometers or in Optical band like Laser RADAR (LADAR) who have wavelength of some microns . The limitations of RADAR operating wavelength is in their geometrical size of devices (transmitters, antennas and Receivers) required to produce such wavelength and their utilization . The following list is typical wavelength used by RADAR applications Search and Early Warning RADAR : >1- 10cm wavelength (HF- C band) Target Tracking RADAR : <10 cm Wavelength (C-band till milimmetric waveband) hope this helps

How does the wavelength of waves used in the microwave ovens compare with the wavelength of waves used for radar?

The wavelength used in the microwave oven is about 12 centimeters. (rounded) In the early days, there were radar systems that used wavelengths longer than that, but there haven't been any for several decades now.


What are the benefits of having a radar detector?

Having a radar detector will alert you when a Police Car with its speed radar is near. The Radar Detectors will produce an audible signal alerting you of this, and will do so far in advance of when you are able to see the Police Car.
