Radar detectors don't "use" any frequencies. However they listen to certain frequencies known as bands(K, Ka, X, Ku). These bands are the frequencies allocated to radar guns to operate on.

What is Doppler Radar?

Doppler Radar uses the Doppler effect to determine speed toward or away from the Radar. When a Radar return has a higher frequency than the transmitted pulse, the object is coming closer, and the *difference in frequency determines speed. Lower frequency- object is moving away. This is used by police, and for weather Radar to help detect not only speed but to detect patterns characteristic of tornadoes. Also used for other applications not just military. You are your own Doppler system using audible frequencies. You can tell when a car, plane, or train is approaching vs moving away.


How do you use a Radar?

That depends on the particular radar system. A simple speed radar used by law enforcement can simply be held and pointed at a target to determine the speed of the target. A more complex system like an air traffic control radar system would have display consoles for the radar operator to view the data.


What is the meaning of Radar?

Radar systems usually use wavelengths and are associated with digital signal processing. They consist of a transmitter, antenna receiver, switch, data recorder, processor, and display. Radar systems are used to track things including weather.


What is radar communication?

Radar communication is electronic communication without the use of wires. Radar communication can be between a ground terminal, like a cell tower, and a satellite. Or it can be between ground towers and also between two or more satellites.

What is the difference between laser detectors and radar detectors?

Laser detectors detect laser beams used by law enforcement to measure speed, while radar detectors detect radio waves used by police radar guns. Laser detectors are more precise but have a shorter range compared to radar detectors. It's recommended to have both types of detectors for comprehensive coverage.
