US Radar Detector Market Size is Estimated to Reach $152 Million in 2023

A radar detector is an electronic device that uses electromagnetic waves to detect targets. It irradiates the target by emitting electromagnetic waves and receives their echoes, thereby obtaining information such as distance, range change rate (radial velocity), azimuth, and altitude from the target to the electromagnetic wave emission point. The working principle is very simple, which is to immediately sound an alarm upon receiving radar signals, prompting the car owner to slow down. The radar beam has a large illuminated area, making it easy for radar speed measurement to capture targets without precise aiming. It can not only be fixed on the road surface but also installed on patrol vehicles to detect vehicle speed during movement, making it a very important component of the "mobile electronic police". So far, radar speed measurement has been used internationally for decades, with mature technology and low cost.
