A small fan blade, turning in the wind, in front of your car would cause havoc on a radar gun. The approach works for only one band, but so what, get 3. The absolute best way to solve the problem is to just blast a few hundred watts for a microsecond or two out in front, and turn that Gunn diode into a bussbar. (or saturate the recieving amps). By zapping it for a short time, the gun would not have time to react (display JAM) and you would solve everybody else's problems that day too. Its probably dangerous, illegal, immoral, fattening ..... but who cares? il01@andrew.cmu.edu If its not fun - don't bother.
