Understanding Radar, Laser and SWS™
Three Radar Frequencies
Three microwave frequencies have been allocated by
the
FCC (Federal Communications Commission) and
are used for traffic Radar. They are:
X band: 10.45 - 10.60 GHz
K band: 24.050 - 24.250 GHz
Super Wideband Ka: 33.4 GHz to 36.0 GHz
Both X and K bands are well known to motorists who
have traveled with Radar detectors. Introduced first
was X band Radar which became common during the
1960s. In the mid 1970s, the lower powered, more
difficult to detect K band Radar was introduced. In
19 87,
FCC approval was given for use of Radar
equipment using a third frequency, Ka. In response to
this,
BELTRONICS introduced the first Radar
detectors capable of detecting X, K and Ka band
signals. In late 1990,
FCC approval was given to
Wideband Ka: 34.2
GHz to 35.2 GHz. Once again,
BEL responded with Wideband Ka detection. Today,
your
VECTOR LR Remote detects the entire Super
Wideband Ka frequency allotted for police monitoring
– 33.4 to 36.0
GHz, as well as four specific Ka
narrow frequencies.
