Beam angle

Note

•

Beam width depends on antenna size: see below.

•

For details on avoiding false echoes, see Auto False Echo Suppression (Page 207).

● 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.
