    During this developmental period, which may last for several years, there is no guarantee of the accuracy, integrity, continuity, or availability of the SBAS signal. Furuno will accept no responsibility for the use of the signal for other than the above stated purpose. It is the user's responsibility to exercise common prudence and navigational judgment while using the SBAS signal.

  • Page 38: Reducing Sea Clutter

    2. RADAR OPERATION Reducing Sea Clutter 2.5.1 How the A/C SEA works Echoes from waves can be troublesome, covering the central part of the display with random signals known as “sea clutter”. The higher the waves and the higher the antenna above the water, the further the clutter will extend. Sea clutter may affect radar performance because real targets are sometimes hidden by the echoes of small waves.

  • Page 39: Reducing Precipitation Clutter

    Reducing Precipitation Clutter The vertical beamwidth of the antenna is designed to see surface targets even when the ship is rolling. However, by this design the unit will also detect precipitation clutter (rain, snow, hail, etc.) in the same manner as normal targets. Precipitation clutter shows as random dots on the screen.

The targets are painted at their measured distances and in their directions relative to own ship’s heading. A short line on the bearing scale is the north marker.
  • Page 44 2. RADAR OPERATION North-up (N-UP) In the north-up mode, targets are painted at their measured distances and in their true (compass) directions from own ship. North is maintained at the top of the screen. The heading line changes its direction according to ship’s heading. True motion (TR-M) Fixed radar targets maintain a constant position on the screen, while your own ship moves across the radar image at the correct speed and heading.

  • Page 45: Measuring The Range

    2.10 Measuring the Range You can measure the range to a radar target three ways: by the range rings, by the cursor, and by the VRM (Variable Range Marker). 2.10.1 Measuring range by range rings Count the number of rings between the center of the display and the target. Check the range ring interval and judge the distance of the echo from the inner edge of the nearest ring.

    2.19 Echo Stretch Normally, the reflected echoes from long range targets appear on the display as weaker and smaller blips even though they are compensated by the radar’s internal circuitry. The echo stretch function magnifies these small blips in all ranges.

  • Page 62: Echo Averaging

    2. RADAR OPERATION 2.20 Echo Averaging The echo averaging feature effectively suppresses sea clutter. Echoes received from stable targets such as ships appear on the screen at almost the same position during every rotation of the antenna. On the other hand, unstable echoes such as sea clutter appear at random positions.

    2.21 Outputting TLL Data Target position data can be output to units of the network and shown on their plotter screens with the TLL mark ( heading data. 1. Operate the trackball to place the cursor on the target whose position you wish to output.

  • Page 64: Guard Alarm

    2. RADAR OPERATION 2.22 Guard Alarm The guard alarm allows the operator to set the desired range and bearing for a guard zone. When ships, islands, landmasses, etc. violate the guard zone, an audio alarm sounds and the offending target blinks to call the operator’s attention.

  • Page 65: When The Alarm Is Violated

    The equipment then searches for targets inside the guard zone to determine guard alarm type. If a target is found inside the guard zone, the guard zone type becomes an “Outward guard alarm,” and any target exiting the guard zone will trigger the audio alarm.

  • Page 66: Watchman

    2. RADAR OPERATION 2.23 Watchman 2.23.1 How watchman works The watchman function periodically transmits radar pulses for one minute to check for targets in a guard zone. If a target is found in the zone, watchman is cancelled, the audio alarm sounds and the radar continues transmitting. If no target is found the radar goes into standby for the number of minutes designated on the RADAR DISPLAY SETUP menu.

  • Page 67: Suppressing Second-Trace Echoes

    2.24 Suppressing Second-trace Echoes In certain situations, echoes from very distance targets may appear as false echoes (second-trace echoes) on the screen. This occurs when the return echo is received one transmission cycle later, or after a next radar pulse has been transmitted.

  • Page 79: Interpreting The Radar Display

    2.27 Interpreting the Radar Display 2.27.1 General 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 from the point representing the antenna position.
  • Page 80 2. RADAR OPERATION Radar resolution There are two important factors in radar resolution (discrimination): bearing resolution and range resolution. Bearing resolution Bearing resolution is the ability of the radar to display the echoes received from two targets, which are at the same range and close together, as separate targets. Bearing resolution is directly proportional to the antenna length, and inversely proportional to the radar's wavelength.

  • Page 81: False Echoes

    2.27.2 False echoes Occasionally echo signals appear on the screen at positions where there is no target or disappear even if there are targets. False target situations may be recognized, however, if you understand why they are displayed. Typical false echoes are shown below.
  • Page 82 2. RADAR OPERATION Virtual image A relatively large target close to your ship may show at two positions on the screen.

    2.27.3 SART (Search and Rescue Transponder) A Search and Rescue Transponder (SART) may be triggered by any X-Band (3 cm) radar within a range of approximately 8 nm. Each radar pulse received causes it to transmit a response which is swept repetitively across the complete radar frequency band.
  • Page 84 2. RADAR OPERATION General procedure for detecting SART response 1. Use the range scale of 6 or 12 nm as the spacing between the SART responses is about 0.6 nm (1125 m) to distinguish the SART. 2. Turn off the automatic clutter suppression (if applicable). 3.

    Some sets have automatic/manual anti-clutter rain control facilities in which case the operator should switch to manual. Note: This SART information is excerpted from IMO SN/Circ 197 Operation of Marine Radar for SART Detection. 2.27.4 Racon (Radar Beacon) A racon is a radar transponder which emits a characteristic signal when triggered by a ship’s radar (usually only the 3 centimeter band).
