  • Page 52: Basic Radar Theory

    BASIC RADAR THEORY Radar uses a form of electromagnetic radiation that can be reflected off a large vessel, bridge, or other metal objects that are in proximity. Because of this property, unwanted reflections off some objects may cause false echoes to appear on the screen where in fact no actual targets exist. Operators should be familiar with the effect of this phenomena.
