Laser jammer coverage/spread

**Fireproof** · 12-04-2007, 03:32 PM

I don't really completely know how the technology works, so if this is a retarded question, just tell me.

It seems like there may be two parts to the jamming effectiveness:

1. The effectiveness of the jamming technology itself (LED vs. Diodes, number of LEDs or Diodes used, etc). Ie., the "penetrability".

2. The coverage or reach from the sensor (and I'm assuming the further way from the sensor the laser gun is targeting, the more likely the punch-through).

So if the above is right (or close, LOL) - my question pertains to #2. Is there a major difference in "coverage" between LED versus Diode based jammers (given a single head (sensor))? If so, what are the relative distances that each can safely protect?

On the front of a medium sized sedan, a single LI head will provide JTG performance for your entire front end. Thats all I have to contribute. Accept no substitutes.

The laser jammers ability to receive the signal also has a lot to do with it. As IRCMA (is that the right name?) would say, you can't jam what you can't see. The diodes seem to do better at detecting. But, I don't it's all about detection. After all, don't the ZR3s have some of the best detection, but not exactly the best performance.

As far as the distance, I do remember Blinders having trouble at further distance (2000+ ft?) Without Veil, they were getting PTs. I think they fixed that though. Generally, though, the further away the distance, the easier to jam because the laser beam is a lot easier to detect.
