7. Clean Sweep
In addition to the Anticlutter Sea and Anticlutter Rain settings already described, individual adapta-
tion to the various environmental conditions is possible with the aid of the Clean Sweep function.
When the Clean Sweep function is switched on, Scan-to-Scan Correlation always takes place addi-
tionally. This performs a comparison between the sets of radar information from several revolutions
of the antenna, and suppresses non-correlating signals.
☞ When the Clean Sweep function is running, the Scan-to-Scan Correlation might have the result
that small, fast-moving targets are displayed with reduced intensity.
Switching the Clean Sweep Mode on and off: Click on the
area CLEAN SWP.
Selecting the Clean Sweep Mode: Click on the CLEAN SWP
area by means of the MORE key, and then click on the desired
mode (with the DO key).
☞ After any change in the Clean Sweep setting, you should
adjust the gain setting.
By means of the three available Clean Sweep Modes, the video presentation can be improved to
suit the given situation:
HARBOUR
Near your own ship
1)
, extremely small target-echoes (which would otherwise only be the size
of a single pixel) are enlarged to such an extent that, if observed carefully, they become visible.
Use:
- In harbours, fjords, canals and other voyage regions having large land masses in the
immediate vicinity
- On the open sea in good to medium weather conditions
MEDIUM
1. Echoes from targets which are situated near your own ship
1)
are displayed in highly enlarged
form; see also page 108.
☞ If the echoes are too small, set the pulse length to LP (Long Pulse).
2. An adaptive Anticlutter Sea function is switched on additionally. As a result of this function, the
decluttering of regions with widely differing intensities of sea clutter takes place individually. This
function is optimised for the display of coastlines.
Use: Within coastal areas; on the open sea in good to medium weather conditions
OPEN SEA
Same as MEDIUM, except that the adaptive Anticlutter Sea function is optimised for the display
of single targets. The Anticlutter Rain function is improved. Particularly good results in the case
of Long Pulse operation.
Use: On the open sea in all weather conditions
8. Interference Rejection (IR)
Interference caused by other radars (see page 110) can usually
be eliminated by switch-on of the Interference Rejection func-
tion. This function is switched on and off by clicking on the IR
area.
