How Radar Works
Traffic radar, which consists of microwaves,
travels in straight lines and is easily
reflected by objects such as cars, trucks,
even guardrails and overpasses. Radar
works by directing its microwave beam
down the road. As your vehicle travels into
range, the microwave beam bounces off
your car, and the radar antenna looks for
the reflections. Using the Doppler
Principle, the radar equipment then
calculates your speed by comparing the
frequency of the reflection of your car to
the original frequency of the beam sent out.
Traffic radar has limitations, the most
significant of these being that it typically
can monitor only one target at a time. If
there is more than one vehicle within
range, it is up to the radar operator to
decide which target is producing the
strongest reflection. Since the strength of
the reflection is affected by both the size of
the vehicle and its proximity to the
antenna, it is difficult for the radar operator
to determine if the signal is from a sports
car nearby or a semi-truck several hundred
feet away.
How “POP” Works
“POP” mode is a relatively new feature for
radar gun manufacturers. It works by
transmitting an extremely short burst,
within the allocated band, to identify
speeding vehicles in traffic. Once the target
is identified, or “POPPED,” the gun is then
turned to its normal operating mode to
provide a vehicle tracking history, (required
by law).
NOTE: According to the operator’s
manual from the radar gun
manufacturer, tickets should not be
issued in this mode.
Radar range also depends on the
power of the radar equipment itself. The
strength of the radar unit's beam
diminishes with distance. The farther the
radar has to travel, the less energy it has for
speed detection.
Because intrusion alarms and motion
sensors often operate on the same
frequency as X-Band radar, your PASSPORT
will occasionally receive non-police radar
signals. Since these X-Band transmitters are
usually contained inside of a building, or
aimed toward the ground, they will
generally produce much weaker readings
than will a true radar encounter. As you
become familiar with the sources of these
pseudo alarms in your daily driving, they
will serve as confirmation that your
PASSPORT’s radar detection abilities are
fully operational.

TSR Signal Ranking Software
Your radar detector includes a new
optional boost in anti-falsing software to
eliminate excessive alerts from erroneous
X and K-band sources. One example of
this is traffic flow monitoring systems.
These systems, which are becoming more
widely used in several states, generate K-
band signals to measure the flow of traffic
on interstate highways. Unfortunately
most detectors alert to these sources as a
real threat. Our new proprietary software
(TSR), intelligently sorts, ranks and rejects
this type of false alarm automatically. The
result is ultimate protection without
excessive false alarms.
The TSR software is turned on by
default in the Programming section of
your detector. If you believe this type of
system isn’t used in your area, you can
simply turn it off. Otherwise, your
detector is ready to start protecting you
right out of the box.
If you have any questions about this
new feature, please give us a call or visit
our website for more details.
