Glossary
confidence: describes the quality of an echo. HIgher values represent higher quality.
Confidence threshold defines the minimum value.
damping: term applied to the performance of an instrument to denote the manner in which the
measurement settles to its steady indication after a change in the value of the level.
dB (decibel): a unit used to measure the amplitude of signals.
derating: to decrease a rating suitable for normal conditions according to guidelines specified
for different conditions.
dielectric: a nonconductor of direct electric current.

dielectric constant (DK): the ability of a dielectric to store electrical potential energy under the
influence of an electric field. Also known as Relative Permitivity. An increase in the
dielectric constant is directly proportional to an increase in signal amplitude. The value is
usually given relative to a vacuum /dry air: the dielectric constant of air is 1

.
echo: a signal that has been reflected with sufficient magnitude and delay to be perceived in
some manner as a signal distinct from that directly transmitted. Echoes are frequently
measured in decibels relative to the directly transmitted signal.
echo confidence: the recognition of the validity of the echo. A measure of echo reliability.
Echo Lock Window: a window centered on an echo in order to locate and display the echo’s
position and true reading. Echoes outside the window are not immediately processed.
Echo Marker: a marker that points to the processed echo.
Echo Processing: the process by which the radar unit determines echoes.
Echo Strength: describes the strength of the selected echo in dB above 1 µV rms.
Echo Profile: a graphical display of a processed echo.
emission cone: the extension of the antenna’s angle
false echo: any echo which is not the echo from the desired target. Generally, false echoes are
created by vessel obstructions.
1. Many conductive liquids/electrolytes exhibit dielectric properties; the relative
dielectric constant of water is 80.
