Timing Animation

Microwave and laser police radar minimum time to acquire, establish, and track a target varies with model from about a quarter of a second (250 milliseconds = 250 ms) to a half of a second (500 ms) or more. In many (most) cases a radar may (will) require more than 1 sample time period (integration time period) to establish speed.
