  • Page 25: Basic Radar Theory

    Radar uses a form of electromagnetic radiation, which like light, can be reflected. Because of this property, some objects may cause false echoes on the screen where in fact no targets actually exist. These echoes may appear if a large vessel, bridge, or tank is in proximity. Operators should be familiar with the ef- fects of these phenomena.

  • Page 26: I Multiple Echoes

    BASIC RADAR THEORY I Multiple echoes Multiple echoes may appear when a short-range and strong echo is received from a ship, bridge, or break- water. Own ship I Minimum range Detection at short range is very important. Minimum range is determined primarily by transmitter pulse length, vertical beam width and height of the scanner unit.

  • Page 27: I Blind And Shadow Sectors

    I Blind and Shadow sectors Blind or Shadow sectors may exist because of ob- structions such as masts, derricks or stacks. An ob- struction may throw either a complete or partial shadow as shown in the diagram below. If a target is in a shadow sector, target echoes may not appear on the screen.
