Introduction: There are many kinds of radar:
Military radar, weather radar, and
air-traffic control radar.
Traffic radar is quite different and falls
into its own category.
Traffic radar, by contrast, is very simple.
• It must be simple because it can be no
larger than what will fit on the dashboard of
a mid-size cruiser.

History:
1947 radar gun was
developed for military
during world war 2.
1948 starting by police to
issue speeding records.
That was used in garden
--city & new york.
Christian Doppler who
proposed Doppler
principle in 1842 .

How Traffic Radar Works: Traffic radar does not sweep:
The area under surveillance by traffic
radar is quite limited.
Traffic radar does not use a modulated
beam.
It uses a constant beam.
Traffic radar does not have a radar screen.

Traffic Radar “The Basic Idea”: Traffic radar's constant beam acts very
much like a searchlight, They travel in straight lines and they are easily reflected. Metallic objects like cars…etc
Traffic radar works by shining its microwave searchlight down the road.
When you come in range, the beam bounces off your car, and the radar antenna looks for the reflections.
Radar range depends upon two things: power of the radar and reflectivity of the target.

How Traffic Radar Measures Your
Speed:
It uses a phenomenon of physics know as the Doppler principle.
Doppler principle works with sound waves. The classic example is heard along railroad tracks. As the train approaches, you hear the sound at a fixed pitch.
It compares the shifted frequency of the reflection to the original frequency of the beam it sent out and from the difference it calculates speed, which it then displays on its digital readout. That's all there is to traffic radar.
