RADAR EXAM 2025 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

GRADED A+

The minimum number of hours of hands-on, non-law enforcement radar operation required to gain a radar operator's certification is guided by which court case

State v. Wojtkowiak

To sustain a conviction for speeding, a police officer must identify

All the above

The term RADAR is an acronym for

Radio detection and ranging

When the frequency of a signal is increased

The number of waves per second is increased

The speed of a radar signal is changed when

None of the above

The radar signal's frequency is

The number of waves sent out in one second

New Jersey law states that the speed limit for business or residential districts, unless otherwise posted is

25 MPH

In X-band traffic radar, for every one mile per hour that a target vehicle is traveling, the reflected signal will be changed in which one of the following ways

The frequency of the reflected signal will be shifted 31.4 waves per second

To properly establish a tracking history, you should observe the target for at least

3 to 5 seconds

The reflective effect

The inability of a traffic radar unit to maintain a true patrol vehicle speed reading under severe acceleration or deceleration is referred to as the

Batching effect

Courts can and do take judicial notice of

The validity of certain scientific principles underlying Doppler radar

The cosine effect as it relates to traffic radar is

A concern since it may result in a target speed reading that is higher than the actual target speed

To be a qualified radar operator, the court requires that you have enough knowledge and training to be able to the radar device

Set up, test, and properly operate

A vehicle's total stopping distance is

Affected by the vehicle's speed and the driver's perception/reaction time

Traffic radar instruments determine vehicle speeds by measuring change in the of the radar signal

Frequency

If several vehicles are all "in range," the radar until will always display the speed of the vehicle that is the

None of the above

The prevailing New Jersey case governing the use of moving radar is

State v. Wojtkowiak

When you test a radar unit, it is good practice to

Strike the fork against a non-metallic surface

A radar's signal wavelength is

The distance between the beginning of a wave peak to the end of the wave valley

Ka-band traffic radar operates at frequencies ranging from depending upon manufacturer

33.0 GHz to 36.0 GHz

Which of the following methods of speed enforcement are prohibited by title 39 in New Jersey

Photo

Elements of a tracking history are the same for stationary and moving mode

False

When the patrol vehicle is moving and the radar is in the stationary mode, the reading that you obtain upon meeting an oncoming vehicle will most likely be the violator's speed only, displayed in the patrol window

False

The recommended method of controlling the radar's range is to tilt the antenna vertically

False

Traffic radar units will always pick up the closest moving vehicle

False

In order to issue a traffic summons, the officer must lock in the motorist's speed on the radar unit

False

Whenever a radio signal's frequency changes, its wavelength also changes

True

A moving radar unit uses the Doppler principle to measure the patrol car's own speed

True

A visual estimate of the violator's excessive speed is an optional element of the tracking history

False

Negative shift

A signal returning to the radar unit that is lower that the transmitted signal

Basic speed law

Unlawful to drive a vehicle at a speed greater that what is reasonable and prudent under existing conditions

National maximum speed limit

Speed limits enacted by Congress, but later relaxed

Absolute speed limit

Prohibits driving in excess of a posted speed, regardless of conditions

Prima facie speed limit

A speed limit that is considered reasonable, but can be challenged by the motorist

A vehicles total stopping distance is:

Affected by the vehicles speed and the drivers reaction time.

A RADAR signals frequency is:

The number of waves sent out in one second.

Traffic RADAR instruments determine vehicle speeds by measuring changes in the..........the RADAR signal.

Frequency

If several vehicles are all "in range," the RADAR unit will always pick out the speed of the vehicle that is.

1.largest 2.closest 3.fastest

None of the above is always true

The fundamental relationship of RADAR is:

Wavelength multiplied by frequency equals the speed of light

A crash at 60 mph it's......... As likely to result in a fatality as is a crash art 45 mph.

Two times

Safety

A RADAR signals wave length is:

The distance from the beginning of the wave peak to the end of the wave valley.

When operating moving RADAR, it must be remembered that:

A computed target speed could be higher than the true target speed under some conditions

The case of...... Established the minimum qualifications for RADAR operators.

Honeycutt v. Commonwealth

The basic computation involved I using a moving mode ( opposite direction) RADAR is:

Target speed= closing speed minus patrol speed

The....... Of a target vehicle is the factor usually considered to be the least dominant in determining which vehicles speed the RADAR might display.

Reflective capability

Position

Speed

To be qualified RADAR operator, you are required by the courts to have enough knowledge and training to be able to....... The RADAR device.

Set up, best and properly operate.

The case of........ Established how we can verify that a RADAR speed measurement came from a particular vehicle.

Honeycutt v. Commonwealth

In the case of,............ The courts took judicial notice of the Doppler principle for the first time.

State v. Dantonio

According to case law, in order to "pass" the external accuracy test, bye RADAR instrument must measure the tuning forks speed:

Within one mph
