The Pocket Radar Personal Speed Radar device, the world's first
pocket-sized speed radar, lets users become a part of the action through
a variety of uses.
Measuring
just 2.3 by 4.7 by 0.8 inches (W x H x D) and weighing only 4.5 ounces
(including batteries), the Pocket Radar offers professional-grade radar
speed measurement that fits in your palm or your pocket. |
Innovative technology allows you to measure the speed of anything from a
fastball down the middle to a race car barreling down the straightaway
with remarkable accuracy (within one mile per hour). By combining Pocket
Radar's proprietary Digital Signal Processing algorithms and
state-of-the-art intelligent target acquisition techniques, the Pocket
Radar is able to offer accurate speed measurement in a device a fraction
of the size of traditional speed radar guns.
Simple one-button
operation is intuitive and user-friendly, and the unit powers up in less
than one second. The Pocket Radar's slim design, along with durable
materials and construction, make it an ideal tool for both professionals
and everyday consumers in a wide range of applications, from coaches
clocking baseball pitch speeds to athletes seeking improved performance
to racing fans looking to enhance their viewing experience.
Leading news outlets and consumer agencies have endorsed the device, as
well, with The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) having named the Pocket
Radar an "Innovation Honoree in Personal Electronics," and Popular Mechanics
magazine selecting the Pocket Radar as a 2010 "Editor's Choice Award
recipient." The Pocket Radar has also been featured on ABC's "Good
Morning America" and NBC's "Today Show."
How it Works
The Pocket Radar is a Doppler speed radar system, which works by
emitting a small pulse of radio waves in an invisible focused beam,
similar in shape to a flashlight beam. When the radio wave hits an
object that is moving toward or away from the Pocket Radar, a small
amount of the wave reflects back. The Pocket Radar, in turn, receives
the reflected radio wave and compares it to the original transmitted
radio wave, calculates the difference between the two waves, and
displays the object's speed--all of which happens almost instantly.
In creating the world's most compact speed radar device, all aspects of
Doppler radar technology have been reassessed, re-engineered, and
rebuilt by Speed Radar technicians to achieve a unique product that
delivers full-sized performance in a miniaturized package. Compared to
standard, bulky radar guns, the Pocket Radar is a fraction of the size
and weight, and further boasts:
- Easy one-button operation with point and shoot interface
- No calibration needed
- Portable design with rugged casing
- Memory recall of up to 10 previous speeds
