Abstract: A detector for detecting continuous wave police radar that includes an antenna configured to receive an input signal, a diplexer in communication with the antenna to separate the input signal into a high-band signal and a low-band signal, a local oscillator configured to sweep through a range of frequencies to produce FLO, and a frequency multiplier to generate a first mixing signal that is an integer multiple of FLO. The detector also includes a high-band intermediate-frequency signal and a low-band intermediate-frequency signal with a switch configured to select one of them as an output intermediate-frequency signal. A second-stage mixes the output intermediate-frequency signal with FLO to generate an output signal, and a determination is made whether the input signal includes a police radar signal.

Abstract: A device includes a radar signal detector that can determine a signal strength of a police radar signal and a direction of a source of the police radar signal. Additionally, the device includes a display in communication with the radar signal detector that provides a single display region having a visual appearance which varies based on both the direction and on the signal strength.

Abstract: An apparatus for a vehicle includes a radar detector configured to detect a police radar signal and a receiver configured to receive information about an image of an environment of the vehicle. A controller in communication with the radar detector and the receiver is configured to change at least one operating characteristic of the radar detector based on the received information.

Abstract: A device includes a radar signal detector configured to detect a police radar signal and determine a frequency of the police radar signal and a display in communication with the radar signal detector and configured to provide a first display portion associated with a first range of frequencies. In particular, the display is further configured to provide a visual indicator associated with the police radar signal, the visual indicator having a first position within the first display portion which varies based on the frequency of the police radar signal and the visual indicator having a first visual appearance when the frequency is within a predetermined subset of the first range of frequencies and a second visual appearance when the frequency is outside the predetermined subset of the first range of frequencies.
