  • Page 28: Interpreting The Display

    2. INTERPRETING THE DISPLAY As an aid to navigation, radar can be a very valuable tool. No other electronic naviga- tion aid can give you the ability to spot ves- sels coming at you in the fog, or tell you the location of the inlet to the harbor in the pitch black of night.

  • Page 29: Range Resolution

    On the other hand, hulls made from wood or fiberglass return much weaker echoes. Vertical surfaces, such as a cliff, are good targets provided they face the radar. Con- versely, horizontal and smooth surfaces such as mudbanks, sandy beaches, and gently sloping hills make poor targets because they disperse rather than reflect most of the en- ergy that strikes them.
  • Page 30 oes may be observed on the display at double, triple or other multiples of the ac- tual range of the target as shown in Figure 2-4. Multiple reflection echoes can be re- duced and often removed by decreasing the sensitivity or properly adjusting the STC. True echo Target...

    Blind and shadow sectors Funnels, stacks, masts, or derricks in the path of antenna may reduce the intensity of the radar beam. If the angle subtended at the scanner is more than a few degrees a blind sector may be produced. Within the blind sector small targets at close range may not be detected while larger targets at much greater ranges may be detected.
