Abstract
A system for radar speed detection, comprising a front antenna system configured to transmit a first radar signal and to receive a reflected first radar signal, a rear antenna system configured to transmit a second radar signal and to receive a reflected second radar signal, a patrol speed system configured to generate a patrol speed and a logic processing system configured to identify first vehicle signals in the reflected first radar signal and second vehicle signals in the reflected second radar signal and to eliminate signals as a function of the first vehicle signals, the second vehicles signals and the patrol speed.

1-20. (canceled)
A system for radar speed detection, comprising:
- a first antenna system configured to transmit a first radar signal and to receive a reflected first radar signal;
- a second antenna system configured to transmit a second radar signal and to receive a reflected second radar signal;
- a patrol speed system configured to generate a patrol speed;
- and
- a logic processing system configured to identify first vehicle signals in the reflected first radar signal and second vehicle signals in the reflected second radar signal and to eliminate signals as a function of the first vehicle signals, the second vehicles signals and the patrol speed.
A system for radar speed detection, comprising:
- a radar transceiver configured to transmit a radar signal toward a traffic environment and to receive a reflected radar signal from at least one object within the traffic environment;
- a patrol speed module configured to determine a speed of a patrol vehicle;
- and
- a processing system communicatively coupled to the radar transceiver and the patrol speed module, the processing system configured to:
- identify one or more target signals within the reflected radar signal,
- determine whether at least one of the one or more target signals corresponds to a phantom vehicle based at least in part on a relationship between a speed associated with the at least one target signal and the speed of the patrol vehicle, and
- eliminate the at least one target signal from a detection output upon determining that the at least one target signal corresponds to the phantom vehicle.
