MICROWAVE RADAR TECHNOLOGY FOR SPEEDING TICKETS IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, VA

What is RADAR? It is an acronym for Radio Detection and Ranging Technologies.  When a police officer operates RADAR, he is using a device that emits a continuous wave that is unmodulated , and it registers reflections or “echoes” from vehicles that are moving.  When a vehicle travels, reflections occur that are frequency shifted.  Faster cars have greater frequency shifts.

Moving RADAR is more involved than stationary RADAR.Generally, the frequency reflection of the  target is shifted by the relative speed of the target vehicle and the moving RADAR.  To determine the target vehicle’s relative speed,  you add the target vehicle’s and police officer’s vehicle’s speeds that are being operated in opposite directions on the roadway or when the target vehicle and patrol car are being operated in the same direction, you determine the difference between the speed of the target vehicle and speed of the police car.

PROBLEMS WITH RADAR

  1. MOVING RADAR IN POLICE CAR SUDDENLY CHANGES SPEED
  2. Radio Frequency Interference
  3. Field disturbance Sensors
  4. Mechanical Interference

  6. Unintentional Forms of Radiation

LASER TECHNOLOGY FOR SPEEDING TICKETS IN NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, VA

LASER is an an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation.  LADAR’s, Laser Detection and Ranging, and LIDAR’s, LIght Detection and Ranging, are different types of laser technology.  To measure the target range, the laser device transmits pulsed laser light.  Additionally, the laser device must be stationary.  A minimum of two pulses from the laser device must occur  with at least two range measurements to determine speed.  The change in target range equals the speed of the target vehicle.

PROBLEMS WITH LASER

  1. Accuracy
  2. Shooting the Laser through Glass
  3. Target Acceleration or Deceleration
  4. Conditions in the Atmosphere
  5. Variations in Range
