Affect of Weather on the Performance of Ka-band Traffic Radar
Abstract -- Effective enforcement of speeding statutes requires measured speed to be accurate and state of the art. This requirement is necessary in order to successfully prosecute by using both moving and stationary radar. The New Jersey State Police currently utilizes X-band radar units. The advent of new Ka-band traffic radar technology now allows smaller, safer and more versatile radar units to be employed. To successfully utilize these new millimeter-wave Ka-band Radar units their speed measurement accuracy particularly in the present of different weather conditions must be established in a scientific manner. This paper reports on a program of testing and analysis to establish the accuracy of the new Ka-band radar units. More than 1,000 measurements were taken in a variety of weather conditions. The study shows that weather has a minimal affect on the Ka-band performance and that indicated speeds are well within National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) standards.

Affect of Weather on the Performance of Ka-band Traffic Radar
Automation of border control gates, as well as easy identification in a variety of daily-life applications (ranging, e.g., from home banking to e-commerce and e-government), requires a high degree of confidence in the identification. Modern solutions are based on biometric technologies to ensure standard quality in operation, by mimicking the usual activities performed by humans in identifying individuals. Biometric technologies allow in fact for efficiently analyzing human traits (e.g., face, fingerprint, iris, palm) for identity management.
