Does anybody for here know the frequency used in radar of highways?
>Tia
Most common in the western US is 10.275GHz, but there are a number of lower and higher frequencies in use.

There are different frequency sets. K-band is about 24.15GHz. It is intended mainly for short-range use within a metro or suburban environment.
X-band (10.25GHz) is often used on highways, and is designed for long-range applications.
The newest member of the family, at least in the U.S., is Ka-band. It's up at 33.4-36GHz. It's often used for automatic speeder-photo applications.
I'm going to make an assumption here -- please forgive me if it's the wrong one, but I feel I have to say it. Forget about trying to jam any of these. You'd be violating FCC regulations by the attempt, and that's a federal rap on top of a potential speeding ticket.
Not only that, but the cops will know immediately if you try something like that. Modern radar units have digital signal processing to help screen out interfering signals, and they also give a clear and immediate audiovisual warning to the operator if a jamming signal is detected.
Trust me, I know this. Part of my work for the WA State Patrol is certifying the radar and LIDAR units.
Please drive safely.
