NC RADAR/LIDAR || QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
What is the basic principle of RADAR? correct answers The radio frequency energy is generated
by a transmitter, the antenna forms the energy into a beam and the energy is transmitted into
space. This energy will travel indefinitely unless absorbed, refracted or reflected. When the
energy or signal strikes an object, a small amount is reflected back to the antenna. From the
antenna, it is sent to the receiver where it is recognized or "detected".
What does the Antenna do? correct answers Shapes, Forms, Transmits and Receives Microwave
Energy.
How much training does Basic RADAR operator and RADAR Re-cert require? correct answers
Basic - 30 Hours, Re-cert - 6 hours.
What minimum score is required on the state exam for the basic RADAR and Re-cert? correct
answers 70% for basic 75% for re-cert exams.
How long do you have to complete the road test and score 100% on the 18 basic configuration
clocks. correct answers 2 hours, 42 mph or less on clocks
If your time expires, can you take your retest? correct answers No

not both. No retest on re-certs.
Speed affects what three elements? correct answers Operation, Vehicle, and Roadway
