2-12. DESCRIPTION OF RADAR2.1 General2.1.1 Minimum and maximum rangesMinimum rangeThe 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 pulselength, 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. This MODEL 1835 series meets the requirements of IEC 62252 5.14.1 (Class A).Maximum rangeThe 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.If the height of the antenna is 9 m and the height of the target is 16 m, the maximum radar range is;Note: The detection range is reduced by precipitation (which absorbs the radar sig-nal).Rmax = 2.2 x (  h1 +   h2)where Rmax: radar horizon (nautical miles)h1: antenna height (m)h2: target height (m)Radar horizonOptical horizonRmax = 2.2 x (  9 +  16) = 2.2 x (3 + 4) = 15.4 nm
2.  DESCRIPTION OF RADAR2-22.1.2 Radar resolutionThe bearing resolution and range resolution are important in radar resolution.Bearing resolutionThe 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.Range resolutionThe 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 pulselength.The test targets used to determine the range and bearing resolution are radar reflec-tors that have an echoing area of 10 m2.TargetsTargetsHorizontal beam widthHorizontal beam widthSeparatetarget echoesOverlappedtarget echoesSeparatetarget echoesOverlappedtarget echoesTargetsTargetsOverlappingTransmissionpulseTransmissionpulse
2.  DESCRIPTION OF RADAR2-32.1.3 Bearing accuracyOne 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.2.1.4 Range measurementMeasurement 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 (see section 1.15.2). The VRM is a more accurate range measurement than the fixed range rings. For cursor, see section 1.13.2.2 False EchoesThe 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.2.2.1 Multiple echoesMultiple 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 A/C SEA control.Multiple echoesYour shipTargetTrueechoMultipleecho
2.  DESCRIPTION OF RADAR2-42.2.2 Sidelobe echoesWhen 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 A/C SEA control.Sidelobe echoes2.2.3 Virtual imageA 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.Virtual imageTrue targetMainlobe (beam)AntennaSidelobeFalse echoes by sidelobesSidelobeTrueechoFalseechoYour shipTarget shipMirror imageof target shipBridgeRoute for direct reflectionRoute forindirect reflection

2.  DESCRIPTION OF RADAR2-62.3 SART (Search and Rescue Transponder)2.3.1 SART descriptionWhen 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.SART echo9500 MHz9200 MHzRadar antennabeamwidthScreen A: When SART is distant Screen B: When SART is close Echo from SARTPosition ofSARTYour shipposition Your shippositionSART marklength Radar receiverbandwidthSweep time7.5 µs 95 µs Sweep start High speed sweep signalLow speed sweep signal24 NM 1.5 NMPosition ofSARTEcho fromSARTLines of 12 dots are displayed inconcentric arcs.
2.  DESCRIPTION OF RADAR2-72.3.2 General remarks on receiving SARTSART range errorsWhen 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 scaleWhen 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 [A/C Auto].3. Turn off [Int Rejector].SART displayTo 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 A/C SEA and GAIN controls to display the necessary screen.
2.  DESCRIPTION OF RADAR2-82.4 RACONA 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.RACONEchoes on the radar screenEcho descriptionYour ship positionRACON signalRACON station
3-13. ARPA OPERATIONThe Automatic Radar Plotter ARP-11 (option) manually or automatically acquires and tracks ten targets. Once a target is acquired automatically or manually, a target is au-tomatically tracked within 0.1 to 16 nm.3.1 Precautions for Use3.2 Controls for Use with ARPAENTER: Acquire cursor-selected target. Display data for tracked target (in the data box at the bottom of the screen).CANCEL/HL OFF: Remove data of cursor-selected tracked target from the data box. Stop tracking the cursor-selected target (when its data is not displayed in the data box).MENU: Access the [Target] and [ARPA] menus for ARPA operations.Cursorpad: Select a target to acquire (or cancel the tracking). Select a target to show (or remove) target data.Do not depend on one navigation devicefor the navigation of the ship. Thenavigator must check all aids availableto confirm position. Electronic aids arenot a replacement for basic navigationprinciples and common sense.· The ARPA automatically tracks an   automatically or manually acquired radar   target and calculates its course and   speed, indicating them by a vector. Since   the data from the auto plotter depend on   the selected radar targets, the radar must   be optimally tuned for use with the auto   plotter, to ensure required targets will not   be lost or unnecessary targets like sea   returns and noise will not be acquired   and tracked.· A target is not always a landmass, reef,  ship, but can be returns from the sea  surface and clutter. As the level of clutter  changes with the environment, the  operator must correctly adjust the A/C  SEA, A/C RAIN and GAIN controls so  that the target echoes do not disappear  from the radar screen.The plotting accuracy and response ofthis ARPA meets IMO standards.The tracking accuracy is affected by thefollowing:· The tracking accuracy is affected by   course change. One to two minutes is   required to restore vectors to full   accuracy after a sudden course change.   (The actual amount depends on   gyrocompass specifications.)· The amount of tracking delay is inversely   proportional to the relative speed of the   target. Delay is on the order of 15-30   seconds for high relative speed; 30-60   seconds for low relative speed.The display accuracy is affected by thefollowing:· Echo intensity· Pulse width of radar transmission· Radar bearing error· Gyrocompass error· Course change (your ship or target)CAUTIONCAUTIONCAUTIONCAUTION
