2. Press the MENU key to close the window.

2.12 How to Reduce the Rain Clutter

The reflections from the rain or snow appear on the screen. These reflections have the
name "rain clutter". When the rain clutter is strong, targets in the rain clutter are hidden
in the clutter. Reflections from the rain clutter are easily identified from true targets by
their wool-like appearance.

The rain clutter function works like the sea clutter function, adjusting the receiver sen-
sitivity, but in longer range. The higher the setting the more clutter is removed. The
rain control breaks the continuous display of rain or snow reflections into a random
pattern. When the rain clutter hides the targets, adjust the rain clutter (automatic or
manual) to reduce the clutter.

3. HOW TO INTERPRET THE RA-
DAR DISPLAY

3.1 General

3.1.1 Minimum and maximum ranges

Minimum range
The minimum range is defined by the shortest distance at which, using a scale of
0.0625 or 0.125 nm, a target having an echoing area of 10 m2 is shown separate from
the point representing the antenna position.

The minimum range depends on the pulse length, antenna height, and signal process-
ing (like main bang suppression and digital quantization). Use a shorter range scale
as far as it gives favorable definition or clarity of picture.

Maximum range
The maximum detection range, Rmax, varies depending on the height of the antenna,
the height of the target above the sea, the size, shape and material of the target, and
the atmospheric conditions.
Under normal atmospheric conditions, the maximum range is equal or a little shorter
than the optical horizon. The radar horizon is longer than the optical one by approxi-
mately 6% because of the diffraction property of the radar signal. The Rmax is shown
in the following formula.

Rmax = 2.2 x ( h1 + h2)

where Rmax: radar horizon (nautical miles)
h1: antenna height (m)
h2: target height (m)

Radar horizon
Optical horizon

If the height of the antenna is 9 m and the height of the target is 16 m, the maximum
radar range is;

Rmax = 2.2 x ( 9 + 16) = 2.2 x (3 + 4) = 15.4 nm

Note: The detection range is reduced by precipitation (which absorbs the radar sig-
nal).

3. HOW TO INTERPRET THE RADAR DISPLAY

3.1.2 Radar resolution

The bearing resolution and range resolution are important in radar resolution.

Bearing resolution
The bearing resolution is the ability of the radar to display the echoes received from
two targets at the same range as the separate echoes. The bearing resolution is pro-
portional to the antenna length and the wavelength.

Targets Separate

Horizontal beam width

Range resolution
The range resolution is the ability to display the echoes received from two targets on
the same bearing as separate echoes. The range resolution is determined by only
pulse length.

The test targets used to determine the range and bearing resolution are radar reflec-
tors that have an echoing area of 10 m2.

 3. HOW TO INTERPRET THE RADAR DISPLAY

3.1.3 Bearing accuracy

One of the most important features of the radar is how accurately the bearing of a tar-
get can be measured. The accuracy of bearing measurement depends on the narrow-
ness of the radar beam. The bearing is taken relative to the heading of the ship.
Correct adjustment of the heading line at installation is important to get accurate bear-
ings. To minimize the error when you measure the bearing of a target, put the target
echo at the extreme position on the screen by selecting a suitable range.

3.1.4 Range measurement

Measurement of the range to a target is important function of the radar. There are
three methods of measuring range: the fixed range rings, the Variable Range Marker
(VRM), and the cursor (if set to measure range and bearing). The fixed range rings
appear on the screen with a given interval and provide a rough estimate of the range
to a target. The diameter of VRM is increased or decreased so that the marker touches
the inner edge of the target. The VRM is a more accurate range measurement than
the fixed range rings.

3.2 False Echoes

The echo signals can appear on the screen at positions where there is no target or
disappear when there are targets. These false echoes are shown below.

3.2.1 Multiple echoes

Multiple echoes occur when a transmitted pulse returns from a solid object like a large
ship, bridge, or breakwater. A second, a third or more echoes can be seen on the dis-
play at double, triple or other multiples of the actual range of the target as shown be-
low. You can reduce and remove the multiple reflection echoes with the sea clutter
function.

3. HOW TO INTERPRET THE RADAR DISPLAY

3.2.2 Sidelobe echoes

When the radar pulse is transmitted, some radiation escapes on each side of the
beam, called "sidelobes". If a target is where a target can be detected by the sidelobes
as well as the mainlobe, the side echoes can be shown on both sides of the true echo
at the same range. Sidelobes show normally only on short ranges and from strong tar-
gets. You can reduce the sidelobes with the sea clutter function.

Mainlobe (beam)

True target

Sidelobe Sidelobe

Antenna False echoes by sidelobes

3.2.3 Virtual image

A large target close your ship can appear at two positions on the screen. One of them
is the true echo reflected by the target. The other is a false echo which is caused by
the mirror effect of a large object on or close your ship as shown in the following figure.
If your ship comes close to a large metal bridge, for example, a false echo can tempo-
rarily appear on the screen.

3.3 SART (Search and Rescue Transponder)

3.3.1 SART description

When any X-band radar reaches within a range of approximately 8 nm, a Search and
Rescue Transponder (SART) sends a response to the radar signal. The transmitter
signal of response is 12-sweeps signal between 9,500 MHz to 9,200 MHz. The time
of slow sweep signal is 7.5 μs and the time of fast sweep signal is 0.4 μs. When the
radar receives this SART signal, a line of 12 dots appears. When the position of SART
is distant, the radar display shows only slow sweep signals like the illustration of
screen A.

When the radar reaches the SART within approximately 1 nm, the radar display can
also show the 12 responses of fast sweep signals like the illustration of screen B. The
position of the SART is the closest position of the radar echoes.

Screen A: When SART is distant Screen B: When SART is close

3.3.2 General remarks on receiving SART

SART range errors
When the SART is at a range greater than approximately 1 nm, the first dot is dis-
played at 0.64 nm beyond the true position of the SART. When the range closes so
that the fast sweep responses are seen also, the first range echoes are displayed at
150 m beyond the true position.

Range scale
When you find the SART position, do as follows:

1. Use the RANGE key to set the range scale to 6 nm or 12 nm.

2. Turn off [Int Rejector].

SART display
To display only the SART echo clearly on the radar screen, reduce the tuning on man-
ual mode. The normal radar echoes get weak, however, the SART echoes remain.
Your ship comes close to the SART, the arc for the SART display becomes larger.
Most of the radar screen becomes fuzzy. Adjust the sea clutter and gain to display the
necessary screen.

3.4 RACON
A RACON is a radar beacon which emits radar-receivable signals in the radar frequen-
cy spectrum (X- or S-band). There are several signal formats; in general, the RACON
signal appears on the radar screen as a rectangular echo originating at a point just
beyond the position of the radar beacon. It has a Morse coded pattern. Note that the
position on the radar display is not accurate.

APPENDIX 5 ALERT LIST
This radar outputs alert information in ALR format. When the alert status changes from OFF (no
alert) to ON (error), an alert pop-up appears and the audio alarm sounds.

• The alert pop-up can be erased and the audio alarm silenced by pressing any key.
• The alert pop-up and the audio alarm are generated whenever an alarm condition occurs or re-
occurs. This condition continues until all the causes for an alert are removed or the alert(s) are
acknowledged.
• When multiple alerts are generated simultaneously, and there is no alert acknowledgement, the
audio alarm continues to sound no matter even if an alert condition has gone. Also, the pop-up
remains displayed and the latest alert appears in the pop-up
• When there is no alert acknowledgment, the audio alarm continues until the condition causing
the alert(s) is removed. The pop-up remains displayed.
• When multiple alerts are generated simultaneously, press any key to acknowledge all alerts.
• To indicate that multiple alerts have been generated simultaneously, the pop-up shows “(!)”after
the alert name, as in the example below.

Notice for radiated immunity
The test for the radiated immunity is performed up to 2.7 GHz only without the special condition
of spot frequency being applied. There is a chance that this equipment may interfere with
allocated services in the frequency range of 2.7 GHz to 6 GHz, particularly in harbors, rivers,
lake banks, etc.
