Radar gun

A Radar Gun is a small Doppler radar used to detect the speed of objects. A Radar Gun does not return position or power information. It relies on the doppler effect applied to a radar beam to measure the speed of objects it is pointed at.

Radar guns may be hand held or vehicle mounted. Common uses include traffic speed law enforcement, and measuring the speed of balls in sports.
