2. RADAR OPERATION 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. Two types of echo stretch are available: ES LOW which stretches echoes in bearing direction and ES HIGH which stretches them in both range and bearing directions.
PAGE 60
2. RADAR OPERATION 2.20 Echo Averaging The echo average feature, available with selection of a Model 1833/C series network radar as radar source, 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. To distinguish real target echoes from sea clutter, echo average performs scan-to-scan correlation.
PAGE 61
2. RADAR OPERATION 2.21 Outputting TLL Data Target position data can be output to units of the network and shown on their plotter screen, with the TTL mark ( X ).

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. CAUTION • The alarm should not be relied upon as the sole means for detecting possible collision situations.
PAGE 63
2. RADAR OPERATION The equipment then searches for targets inside the guard zone to determine the 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 an alarm. If no target is found the guard zone type becomes an “Inward guard alarm”, and any targets entering the guard zone will trigger the alarm. The guard alarm type is shown as G1(G2) IN or G1(G2) OUT.

2. RADAR OPERATION 2.26 Interpreting the Radar Display 2.26.1 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 m2 is still shown separate from the point representing the antenna position. It is mainly dependent on the pulselength, antenna height, and signal processing such as main bang suppression and digital quantization.
PAGE 77
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 78
2. RADAR OPERATION 2.26.2 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. Multiple echoes Multiple echoes occur when a transmitted pulse returns from a solid object like a large ship, bridge, or breakwater.
PAGE 79
2. RADAR OPERATION Virtual image A relatively large target close to your ship may be shown at two positions on the screen. One of them is the true echo directly reflected by the target and the other is a false echo which is caused by the mirror effect of a large object on or close to your ship as shown in the figure below. If your ship comes close to a large metal bridge, for example, such a false echo may temporarily be seen on the screen.
PAGE 80
2. RADAR OPERATION 2.26.3 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. When interrogated, it first sweeps rapidly (0.4 µs) through the band before beginning a relatively slow sweep (7.5 µs) through the band back to the starting frequency.
PAGE 81
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. Turn off the Interference Rejector.
PAGE 82
2. RADAR OPERATION A/C SEA control For optimum range SART detection, this control should be set to the minimum. Care should be exercised as wanted target in sea clutter may be obscured. Note also that in clutter conditions the first few dots of the SART response may not be detectable, irrespective of the setting of the anti-clutter sea control. In this case, the position of the SART may be estimated by measuring 9.5 nm from the furthest dot back towards own ship.
