RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION Manual tuning To tune the radar, start by setting the brilliance to a comfortable level, adjusting the gain until the background speckle just disappears, and selecting the 48 NM range. Then, do the following: 1. Select a weak contact somewhere near the edge of the screen and concentrate on that, while adjusting the gain control in small steps - allowing at least two sec- onds between each step - until the chosen contact is as big, bright and consistent as possible.

Lower the auto A/C SEA level because the average value of the original input echo is low in ar- eas where there are no see surface reflections.
  • Page 67: How To Suppress Rain Clutter

    2. RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION How to Suppress Rain Clutter The vertical beam width of the antenna is designed to see surface targets even when the ship is rolling. However, by this design the unit will also detect rain clutter (rain, snow, or hail) in the same manner as normal targets.

    2. RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION Interference Rejector Mutual radar interference may occur in the vicinity of an- other shipborne radar operating in the same frequency band. It is seen on the screen as a number of bright spikes either in irregular patterns or in the form of usual- ly curved spoke-like dotted lines extending from the cen- ter to the edge of the picture.
  • Page 70: Echo Averaging

    2. RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION Echo Averaging The echo averaging feature, which requires heading, position and speed data, effec- tively reduces sea clutter. Echoes received from stable targets such as ships appear on the screen at almost the same position every rotation of the antenna. On the other hand, unstable echoes such as sea clutter appear at random positions.
  • Page 71: Automatic Clutter Elimination (Ace) Function

    2. RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION 2.10 Automatic Clutter Elimination (ACE) Function This radar has the Automatic Clutter Elimination (ACE) function. This function detects sea and rain clutter from received echoes’ range and bearing trend and automatically reduces sea and rain clutter according to the Automatic Clutter Elimination (ACE) threshold setting.

    2. RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION 2.11 Noise Rejector White noise may show itself on the screen as random "speckles" spread over the en- tire radar image. This equipment reduces the white noise then improves the on-screen S/N ratio by processing the weighted moving average filter for the received echoes in the range direction.

The TT automatically tracks an automatically or manually acquired radar target and calculates its course and speed, indicating them with a vector. Since the data gener- ated by the TT depends on the radar targets selected, the radar must be optimally tuned for use with the TT, to ensure required targets will not be lost or unnecessary targets like sea returns and noise will not be acquired and tracked.
