Beam angle
Note
•
Beam width depends on antenna size: see below.
•
For details on avoiding false echoes, see Auto False Echo Suppression (Page 236).
● Beam angle is the width of the cone where the energy density is half of the peak energy
density.
● The peak energy density is directly in front of and in line with the antenna.
● There is a signal transmitted outside the beam angle, therefore false targets may be
detected.
