Okay, I'm having a hard time trying to explain how this device works.
I'll try again. The unit I use does not "change" the frequency. It does
not transmit a signal to overload or overpower the receiver. It does not
transmit a signal to "mask" the refelcted signal returned by the vehicle.
This unit reflects the signal back to the radar unit with some noise
mixed in to "confuse" the receiver into thinking that the velocity of the
vehicle is increasing and decreasing very rapidly, much faster than what
is physically possible with a vehicle with mass. This prevents the
receiver from "locking-on" to the reflected signal and prevents any
reading from being displayed on the radar unit. The jammer is really very
simple. It has the antenna/reflector and some type of diode, I think,
that generates the noise that gets mixed back in. I guess that
"technically" the diode could be called a "transmitter", much in the same
way as any vehicle ignition system, spark plug, car radio receiver, or
even any piece of wire that has an electrical current passing through it
could be called a "transmitter", perhaps even individual molecules and
atoms could be technically called "transmitters". From the legal and FCC
perspective, it is *NOT* a transmitter as the signal level is far to low.
How low? Dunno..... That is about the best I can do in trying to describe
how this device works, and work it does. I don't design, build or sell
these units and I don't own stock or interest in any company that does or
any supplier. My observations are based solely on real-world performance
of the unit of the course of several years and my experience with the
unit is related only as a service to others that might be interested in
such units (disclaimer).
The theory on how this unit could work has bee reviewed by a very
sceptical engineer, an expert with radar, LORAN, radio receivers and
transmitters, amateur radio HW, is aand is also the owner of the MPH
Industries K55 radar unit used for the previsouly mentioned testing.
