MR-1010RII / Page 13-52 9 BASIC RADAR THEORY Radar uses a form of electromagnetic radiation that can be reflected off a large vessel, bridge, or other metal objects that are in proximity. Because of this property, unwanted reflections off some objects may cause false echoes to appear on the screen where in fact no actual targets exist. Operators should be familiar with the effect of this phenomena. In some cases, echoes can be reduced.
PAGE 53
MR-1010RII / Page 13-53 BASIC RADAR THEORY 9 ■ Multiple echoes Multiple echoes may appear when a short-range and strong echo is received from a vessel, bridge, or breakwater. Multiple echoes will appear beyond the target’s true echo point on the same bearing of a large target. They can be reduced with proper adjustment of the SEA / control. See page 9 for the SEA / control. False echoes Your vessel Another vessel True echo 1 2 3 4 5 6 ■ Minimum range 7 Detection at short range is very important.
PAGE 54
MR-1010RII / Page 13-54 9 BASIC RADAR THEORY ■ Target resolution Target resolution is determined by the horizontal beam width and transmit pulse width. Sometimes it is difficult to detect two targets that are separated by short distances or are in the same direction. DDDistance resolution When two targets are separated by more than the pulse width, they appear as two echoes. When two targets are not separated by more than the pulse width, they appear as 1 echo.
