Abstract
A radar detector includes a graphical display for displaying a spectral representation of detected signals.
Claims9
A radar detector, comprising:
- a display screen including means for defining a plurality of character positions geometrically across the display screen including at least a first row having a first plurality of character positions arranged in a linear manner,
- means for scaling the first row to correspond to at least one predefined microwave frequency band, wherein each of the first plurality of character positions is scaled to correspond to a contiguous segment of the predefined microwave frequency band,
- means for detecting a microwave signal within the at least one predefined microwave frequency band,
- means for identifying the contiguous segment of the predefined microwave frequency band in which the microwave signal is detected,
- means for storing at least a first predefined character, and
- means for driving the display screen to display the first predefined character in the character position in the first row which corresponds to the identified segment.
