1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 1.36 Target Analyzer The target analyzer function analyzes echoes and assists the operator to determine dangerous targets. This function is particularly useful under heavy rain/snow or where there is surface reflection, which can cause interference and noise. The target analyzer function can also place hatching over heavy rain areas, reducing the visible interference and allowing a clearer view of potential targets.
1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW Note 1: This function works best when the settings for [GAIN], [STC], [RAIN], [NOISE REJECT] and [VIDEO CONTRAST] are properly adjusted (surface reflections are dis- played in green and rain is displayed in gray).

RADAR OBSERVATION General 2.1.1 Minimum and maximum ranges Minimum range The minimum range is defined by the shortest distance at which, using a scale of 1.5 or 0.75 nm, a target having an echoing area of 10 m is still shown separate from the point representing the antenna position.
Page 84
This is determined by pulselength only. Practically, a 0.08 microsecond pulse offers the discrimination better than 40 m as do so with all FURUNO radars. Test targets for determining the range and bearing resolution are radar reflectors...
2. RADAR OBSERVATION Bearing accuracy One of the most important features of the radar is how accurately the bearing of a tar- get can be measured. The accuracy of bearing measurement basically depends on the narrowness of the radar beam. However, the bearing is usually taken relative to the ship’s heading, and thus, proper adjustment of the heading line at installation is an important factor in ensuring bearing accuracy.
Page 86
2. RADAR OBSERVATION Sidelobe echoes Every time the radar pulse is transmitted, some radiation escapes on each side of the beam, called “sidelobes”. If a target exists where it can be detected by the side lobes as well as the main lobe, the side echoes may be represented on both sides of the true echo at the same range.
2. RADAR OBSERVATION Shadow sectors Funnels, stacks, masts, or derricks in the path of the antenna block the radar beam. If the angle subtended at the antenna is more than a few degrees, a non-detecting sec- tor may be produced. Within this sector targets can not be detected. Wharf and its echo Radar position Radar position...
2. RADAR OBSERVATION 2.3.2 How to show SART marks on the radar display This radar is equipped with a feature that optimally sets up the radar for SART detec- tion. This feature automatically detunes the radar receiver out of its best tuning condi- tion.
2. RADAR OBSERVATION Radar sidelobes As the SART is approached, sidelobes from the radar antenna can show the SART responses as a series of arcs or concentric rings. These can be removed by the use of the anti-clutter sea control although it can be operationally useful to observe the side lobes as they may be easier to detect in clutter conditions and also they will con- firm that the SART is near to own ship.
