RADAR OBSERVATION General 2.1.1 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 134: X-Band And S-Band
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...
Page 135: Bearing Accuracy
2. RADAR OBSERVATION 2.1.5 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 136 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.

Page 139: Racon
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.

Page 173: Criteria For Tracking Target Selection
3.20 Criteria for Tracking Target Selection The FURUNO TT video processor detects targets in midst of noise and discriminates radar echoes on the basis of their size. Target whose echo measurements are greater than those of the largest ship in range or tangential extent are usually land and are displayed only as normal radar video.
Page 174: Factors Affecting Target Tracking
Qualitative description of tracking error The FURUNO TT's accuracy complies with or exceed IMO standards. Own ship maneuvers For slow turns there is no effect. For very high turning rates (greater than 150°/minute, depending on gyro), there is some influence on all tracked targets that lasts for a min- ute or two then all tracked targets revert to full accuracy.
Page 175 3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) Tracking continues if a return echo is received at least once in nine antenna rotations. However, the fewer the return echoes the lower the accuracy. If no return echo is re- ceived within nine antenna rotations the target is declared a lost target. Second trace echoes When the radar beam is super refracted, strong echoes may be received at such long ranges that they appear on a different timebase sweep than the transmitted pulse.

Page 177: Ais Operation
AIS OPERATION An AIS transponder can be connected to this radar to overlay AIS targets on the radar display. The radar can store up to 1,200 AIS targets in its storage buffer. When this buffer becomes full of AIS targets, the Alert "AIS CAPACITY FULL" is generated to alert you to full storage buffer.
Page 178: Controls For Ais
4. AIS OPERATION There can be several hundreds or several thousands of AIS targets, and of those only a few will be significant for your ship. To remove unnecessary AIS targets from the radar display, the feature "active and sleeping AIS targets" is available.
