81244_1.book Page 2 Wednesday, December 1, 2004 11:41 AM 5-2 E-Series Networked Display Reference Manual What is the maximum range of my radar? Maximum radar range is essentially line-of-sight, so is limited by the height of the scanner and the height of the target as illustrated below: Rmax a1 h a2 Earth Radar Rmax = 2.
81244_1.book Page 3 Wednesday, December 1, 2004 11:41 AM Chapter 5: Using the Radar 5-3 Side lobes Side lobe patterns are produced by small amounts of energy from the transmitted pulses that are radiated outside the narrow main beam. The effects of side lobes are most noticeable with targets at short ranges (normally below 3 nm), and in particular with larger objects. Side lobe echoes form either arcs on the radar screen similar to range rings, or a series of echoes forming a broken arc.
81244_1.book Page 4 Wednesday, December 1, 2004 11:41 AM 5-4 E-Series Networked Display Reference Manual Multiple echoes Multiple echoes are not very common but can occur if there is a large target with a wide vertical surface at a comparatively short range. The transmitted signal will be reflected back and forth between the target and your own ship, resulting in multiple echoes, displayed beyond the range of the true target echo, but on the same bearing.
81244_1.book Page 5 Wednesday, December 1, 2004 11:41 AM Chapter 5: Using the Radar 5-5 Rain clutter The radar can see echoes from rain or snow. Returns from storm areas and rain squalls consist of countless small echoes that continuously change size, intensity and position. These returns sometimes appear as large hazy areas, depending on the intensity of the rainfall or snow in the storm cell.

You will need heading and position data for full functionality of your radar. A fast heading sensor is also needed for operation of MARPA and radar/chart overlay functions. With your radar scanner connected and the radar in transmit mode, the radar picture, provides a map-like representation of the area in which the radar is operating e.g.

Therefore, the first sight of land may be a mountain several miles inland from the coastline. Although the coastline may be much nearer, it may not appear on the radar until the vessel is closer to shore.
