Page 110: Basic Radar Theory
RADAR OPERATION ■ 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 effects of these phenomena.
