Section 5--General Theory of Operation
Another reference document on this topic is a DOT
publication entitled "Field Strength Measurements of Speed
Measuring Radar Units" (NHTSA Technical Report #DOT-
HS-805 928). This report documents a series of tests
performed by the National Bureau of Standards on twenty-
two commonly used models of traffic radar units, from six
different manufacturers including Kustom. Aperture power
2
density levels measured were from 0.25 to 2.82 mW/cm
,
while back-lobe (behind the antenna) power density values
2
ranged from 0.001 to 0.02 mW/cm
. These measurements
were obtained with the radars mounted inside vehicles, as
in normal operating conditions. Since the NBS study, other
laboratories have duplicated these types of measurements,
producing consistently similar results.

While traffic radar devices do emit microwave energy, the
levels are so low that there are no probable harmful effects.
You may use your Kustom radar unit with complete
confidence in its safety, as well as in its accuracy.
