Best Answer

The maximum distance at which a radar set is ordinarily effective in detecting objects can be increase by lowering the pulse frequency, raising the peak power of the transmitter, narrow the beam with and increasing the pulse duration

Why FMCW radar has better range resolution than CW radar?

FM CW radar sweeps the Radio Frequency over time. Time in Radar equates to range and results in a high spectral density at every range. CW radar has a much lower spectral density and does not code range with frequency in the same way.

Im looking for a radar detector that detects the presence of a radar when it is being used?

That would be any radar detector. If you want to detect a radar that is not being used, you need to find a psychic.


Do police know if you are using a radar detector?

AnswerAll modern radar detectors use a local oscillator (LO). The local oscillator is part of the radar detector's superheterodyne circuitry which greatly boosts the radar detector's performance. Radio (actually microwave) emissions from a radar detector's local oscillator are readily detected by various types of radar detector detectors (RDDs) such as VG-2 and the Spectre. Spectre RDDs are in widespread use throughout the state of Virginia where radar detector usage is illegal. Although radar detectors at present are completely legal to use in all states except VA and Washington DC, the Texas DSP is known to use Spectres to nab unsuspecting motorists who use radar detectors. Several radar detector manufacturers have made strides during the past few years to greatly reduce the LO leakage from their products. This greatly reduces the range at which the Spectre RDD can detect these newer radar detector models. And, at present, there are three specific radar detector models which have virtually zero LO leakage. This makes these three radar detector models completely immune to detection by VG-2, by the Spectre, any other present technology, or any new technology which possibly could be developed during the next 5 years or so.

What are the advantages of radar range over radar bearing?

Radar range is the distance of the object from the radar. Radar bearing is the direction of the object in relation to the radar. As radar is primarily used for ranging, the range information may be more important than the bearing.

How do you increase the detection range in mobile dectector circuit?

Are you talking about radar detectors? If so, they are illegal in many jurisdictions and WikiAnswers does not give information about illegal activities such as using radar detectors. If you are not talking about radar detectors, the please restate the question, giving more specifics about what kind of circuit you are talking about.


What is a typical radar operating frequency?

Typical radar operates in the 50 to 330 megahertz bands. However, long range radar uses ultra high frequencies in the 300 to 1,000 megahertz range.

What is the difference between frequency diversity and frequency agility?

Frequency agility is the changing radar frequency rapidly and continuously to minimize jamming effect or enhance the target resolution and hit per scan. where as frequency diversity is a method to couple two radar transmitters to a single antenna simultenously to increase the range of radar in terms of coverage.


What do reviews say about the range of Solo S2 radar detectors?

Most reviews gave a very good rating for the range of the Solo S2 radar detector. None of the reviews mentioned anything about the range being a con for this radar detector. Some reviews said warnings came at least a half mile from the actual radar location (police cruiser).
