Radar detector/scrambler
This type of product is advertised almost everywhere that it helps you
avoid tickets etc. I imagine that it must transmit a signal on the same freq. as the radar gun at the moment it receives the police transmission. Even at low power can this still meet part 15 of the FCC rules or any part for that matter? I happen to drive slowly but millions of people don't. Can someone please tell me how it works? How can something like this product which for all intents and purposes "interferes with police business" be legal? Just wondering. Lenny |

Video can help keep cops honest. With all the cell phones that can take video, there should be a law allowing anyone to take video of anything that happens in front of them, including audio recording anything. Anything else would be a violation of our civil rights, otherwise cities with CCTV cameras, where video of citizens committing crimes are used against them, that video should be excluded. The law should be fair for everyone or fair for no one. I've often thought cops should have to wear a video camera that also records audio, for their entire shift, then downloaded and saved when the shift is over. Thats just how I feel and I'm by no means a liberal. -- Is Obama an Internet Junkie?

How can something like this product which for all intents and purposes "interferes with police business" be legal? Just wondering. Lenny One approach was describe several decades ago in a 'build it yourself' project in 'Radio Electronics' magazine. Speed radar works by sending a high frequency pulse and comparing the frequency of the returned signal to the original. The frequency shift of the return pulse will be proportional to the relative speed of the radar gun and the object generating the reflection. The R-E article was for a 'radar gun calibrator'. By taking the received signal, amplifying it, modulating it, and transmitting only one of the sidebands, a synthetic 'echo' would be produced with the precise frequency offset desired. As far as selling them, don't bother. You can make more money by selling tinted plastic license plate covers, claiming they will 'fool photo speed enforcement cameras'. Of course, the real fool with be the person sending you his money. PlainBill |

"in theory",one could build a channelized EW(electronic warfare) suite such as military aircraft use,and it would work with all known radarguns. Cost would be prohibitive,though. Just fitting one to your vehicle would be a real Project. BTW,I wonder if a broadband whitenoise type of jammer would work,burying the radargun's signal in the noise. You'd need substantial power and have to cover each band used for radar speed guns.it could be triggered by the first radar pulse and xmit long enough for you to pass the patrol car or to slow to posted speed after being alerted. Still highly illegal,though. then there was that guy who made a "stealth" car,faceted like the F-117. no radar return,no speed measurement. :-) -- Jim Yanik jyanik at localnet dot com |

How are the HANDHELD radar guns multi-band? they would have to have multiple Gunn oscillators,too. And more than one feed horn.(antenna) Maybe, but I've worked with horn antennas with several octave bandwidth. It's not the horn that's bandwidth limited. It's the waveguide feed. Figure about 0.6 octaves per standard waveguide number: http://www.microwaves101.com/encyclopedia/waveguidedimensions.cfm Since only one feed need be active at a time, it's easy enough to build a switch or just imbed the Gunn diodes or DRO (dielectric resonant oscillator) and detector diodes in the throat of the horn, where no waveguide is necessary. Or, just forget about the switch and use multiple patch antennas on a PCB to feed the horn antenna: http://www.eetimes.com/design/microwave-rf-design/4009957/Mattel-makes-a-real-radar-gun-on-the-cheap (Note: This is an X band design, which is NOT commonly used in current police radar guns). Most that I've seen on police cars are pretty small units. I'm wrong on the dual band feature. Kustom Signals advertises a "dual K band" device (RP-1) for either K (24Ghz) or Ka (33-36Ghz) bands. I wrongly assumed that this meant that the device was dual band. It really means that it has two antennas, one internal and one external. http://www.galls.com/goid/style.html?assort=general_catalog&cat=&style=LE954 http://www.kustomsignals.com/product_body2.asp?product_id=89&cat_id=8&strpagena me=fixedmount My apologies for the wrong info and thanks for the corrections. AFAIK,most radar guns are Doppler,and the receiver reads the strongest signal it receives,so transmitting a signal from your "jammer" overpowers the reflected radargun signal.That jammer signal has to be near in freq to the gun's signal,or it will be rejected,because it would indicate a higher speed than the gun will measure or considers reasonable.Then the speed gun would light it's "interference" indicator. The problem is for the jammer to figure out what frequency to jam and then to synchronize the pulse repetition rate to that of the radar. That's not easy when it could be arriving on X, K, Ka, and possibly Ku bands. It doesn't take very long to get a reading and if the jammer is listening on the wrong band or simply too slow, it will be too late. I have two of these radar guns, in rather poor condition: http://www.kustomsignals.com/product_body2.asp?product_id=26&cat_id=7&strpagena me=handheld While totally obsolete, one does function well enough to measure speed. I must admit that I've never tested it for jamming tolerance. Tempting to build this ummm... tester: http://blockyourid.com/~gbpprorg/mil/wall/speed/index.html do you have any information on or links to these multi-band radar speed guns? No, nor could I find any. There might be some patents but after a few minutes of zero luck, I gave up. I recall discussing the problem during a show with someone from Kustom Signals, who indicated that a solution to a potential jamming problem was to frequency hop through the available bands. At the time, only X and K bands were available, so I assumed that this was the current technology. Apparently not.

I.E., the returned signal is mixed with with a sample of the transmitted frequency. The difference in frequency tells your speed. Any attempt to jam it will be a crap shoot. Even if you managed to match the RADAR transmitter's frequency, it would still show your speed. Military RADAR is RAdio Detection And Ranging, or a means to bounce a signal off metallic objects, and time the reflection to measure the distance. The rotating antenna gives you the heading. Some also change the vertical angle to give the elevation of a target. I've serviced both types. -- You can't fix stupid. You can't even put a band-aid on it, because it's Teflon coated. |

But white noise is broadband,so a radargun would not be able to make any comparison to the transmitted freq. with a "white noise jammer" It would raise the noise floor ABOVE the reflected signal,smothering it. I believe I've seen references to radarguns having an indicator for "jamming",and their audio output would also be an indicator,operators being trained to recognize interference. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at localnet dot com |
