Thread: Redline Review

    There is far more to the shielding within the M3 antenna than most people realize. The STi emits no radiation which can be detected more than a foot or so away from it. Here is the patent:

    Radar detector with reduced emissions

    The local oscillators are conventional LOs. Its the design and shielding that makes the STi stealth. And the patent covers virtually every aspect of the technology required to produce a completely stealth radar detector, so I wouldn't look for Valentine to be producing a similar product -- ever.

    WOW........now we know! LNAs, Antenna design (narrow tunnels), mulitple mixers, sealing gaskets and radar absorbing materials. That is one heck of a read!

    I couldn't figure out how you would use radar absorbing material to reduce emissions without also killing the sensitivity of the detector. Effectively the path in is a peep hole using the microstrip connected from the antenna to the LNA to the mixer.......the LNA amplifies the incoming signal but blocks any emissions trying to ride that path out. The radar absorbing materials are packed around the microstrip blocking all other paths for High Frequency emissions to escape.......and the narrowness of the tunnels (a virtue again made possible by using multiple antennas) cuts off the low frequency emissions.

    Thats just for emissions from the horn. Gaskets and more radar absorbing materials are used to kill any LO emissions that might otherwise escape directly through the internal case itself.

    Thanks MEM-TEK. Now thats what I love about this forum.........learning every day!

    but even with that patent, Whistler managed to make a very leak proof radar detector. During our testing, the spectre 2 did not detect it. And I bet the spec 3 would only detect it at a very short distance.

    Ya, but what about the spectre IV........did Whistler really do anything to eliminate emissions like Bel or did they simply move the LO frequency again?

    The M3 design actually kills ALL emissions.

    Here's some test done.

    That link shows the 9500 series getting detected around 35ft. ProudNMA's tests (that I watched) with the Spectre II showed them getting detected at almost 1100ft. Something is up with their test.

    It could be that the test was conducted by the world's biggest douchebag Craig Peterson.
