Radar detector performance verification method and apparatus
First Claim
1. An apparatus for testing a radar detector, said apparatus comprising:
- a housing having three sections each with an outer surface and an inner surface, the three sections being configured so that the outer surfaces of each is directed away from the other two surfaces;
three frequency transmitters each mounted on a different one of the three sections of the housing;
means for receiving voltage from a voltage source to power the three transmitters;
voltage indicator means for monitoring voltage of the energy source; and
switch means for connecting the voltage indicator means and the transmitters to the voltage receiving means,wherein each section acts to shield the housing from the frequency from each of the three transmitters.

Abstract
A frequency transmitter apparatus for testing a radar detector is provided that comprises a housing having three sections each with an outer surface. The three sections are configured so that the outer surface of each is directed away from the other two outer surfaces. A frequency transmitter is mounted on each section. The apparatus further comprising a device for receiving voltage from a voltage source to power the transmitter, a voltage indicator for monitoring voltage from the voltage source, and a switch for connecting the voltage indicator and the three transmitters to the receiving device. Each section shields the housing from the frequency from each of the three transmitters. The apparatus may, preferably, include a switch-selectable frequency feature.

15. A switch-selectable frequency transmitter apparatus comprising:
-
means for supplying voltage; a plurality of switches each operatively connected to the voltage supplying means; a plurality of indicators each operatively connected to a different one of the plurality of switches; a plurality of potentiometers each operatively connected to a different one of the plurality of indicators; a plurality of oscillators each operatively connected to a different one of the plurality of potentiometers, wherein each potentiometer supplies voltage to its respective oscillator; and a plurality of microstrips each operatively connected to a different one of the plurality of oscillators. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)

48. A method to verify the performance of a police band radar detector comprising the steps of:
-
positioning an electromagnetic field transmitter having a plurality of oscillators adjacent but spaced apart from the radar detector; transmitting a desired electromagnetic signal of field strength from a transmitter to the radar detector; moving the position of the transmitter to a distal location from the radar detector until there is a loss of signal that inactivates an alert circuitry in the radar detector; utilizing the distal location as a distance standard for performance of the radar detector; and means for selectively energizing the plurality of oscillators of the transmitter to detect the desired band at the radar detector. - View Dependent Claims (49, 50)
