Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Undetected speed radar

[Charles Perry (charles]

Around here at least (Charleston, SC) they are all active X-band radar.
V1 picks them up miles away.

Are we talking about the peed limit signs that say "Your speed is"....I
thought that they were all passive, am I wrong??
Thanks, Phil

FYI - While driving through our neighborhood yesterday, I found another
type
of radar today which was undetected by my V1 - FMCW

"FMCW detectors, sometimes referred to as true-presence microwave
detectors,
transmit continuous frequency-modulated waves at the detection zone.
Frequency varies over time. Detectors measure the range from the
detector to
the vehicle to determine vehicle presence. To obtain speed, the distance
between two range bins is divided by the time that the detected vehicle
travels that distance (4-1)."

The "Your speed is" sign lit up on the trailer, but the V1 sat silent.

I don't know if FMCW is being deployed in hand held units, but I can see
this as a future threat to our "spirited drives" !

Anyone else with similar experiences?
