A radar detector detector (RDD) is a device used in areas where radar detectors are declared illegal.
Radar detectors are built around a superheterodyne receiver, which has a local oscillator that radiates slightly. It is therefore possible to build a radar-detector detector, which detects such emissions (usually the frequency of the radar type being detected, plus about 10 MHz for the intermediate frequency). Some radar guns are equipped with such a device.

Famous quotes containing the word radar:
“So I begin to understand why my mothers radar is so sensitive to criticism. She still treads the well-worn ruts of her youth, when her impression of mother was of a woman hard to please, frequently negative, and rarely satisfied with anyoneleast of all herself.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
