Economy radar detector
This circuit uses a 1458 dual op-amp to form a radar detector. C1 is the
detector of the radar signal. The first op-amp forms a current-to-voltage
converter and the second op-amp buffers the output to drive the piezo transducer.
R5 sets the switching threshold of the second op-amp; normally it is adjusted so
that the circuit barely triggers on background noise, then it's backed off a bit.
The response of the circuit may be tuned by adjusting the length of the leads on
C1. For typical road-radar systems, the input capacitor's leads should be about
0.5 to 0.6 inches long.
