Most of today's radar detectors detect signals across a variety of wavelength bands: usually X, K, and K a. In Europe the K u band is common as well. The past success of radar detectors was based on the fact that radio-wave beams can not be narrow-enough, so the detector usually senses stray and scattered radiation, giving the driver time to ...

SCR-720 was the first radar to successfully use the "helical-scan" technique, which became common in night fighter radars. The concept was first raised in early 1940 as part of UK research using the cavity magnetron as the basis of a microwave-frequency radar system. They abandoned this approach as they were unable to solve the problem of ...
The AN/CPS-1, also known as the Microwave Early Warning (MEW) radar, was a semi-mobile, S band, early-warning radar developed by the MIT Radiation Laboratory during World War II. It was one of the first projects attempted by the Lab and was intended to build equipment to transition from the British long-wave radar to the new microwave ...
