A slotted wave-guide array antenna with gain not greater than 27 dBi must be mounted a minimum of 5.5 meters (measured from the lowest point of the antenna) vertically above the main deck and all possi-ble personnel. This is the minimum safe separation distance estimated to meet all RF exposure compli-ance requirements. This 5.5 meter distance is based on the FCC Safe Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) distance of 3.5 meters added to the height of an adult (2 meters) and is appropriate for all vessels.For watercraft without suitable structures, the antenna must be mounted so as to maintain a minimum of 1 meter vertically between the antenna, (measured from the lowest point of the antenna), to the heads of all persons AND all persons must stay outside of the 3.5 meter MPE radius.Do not transmit with radar and antenna when persons are within the MPE radius of the antenna, unless such persons (such as driver or radar operator) are shielded from antenna field by a grounded metal-lic barrier. The MPE Radius is the minimum distance from the antenna axis that person should maintain in order to avoid RF exposure higher than the allowable MPE level set by FCC.FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE LIMITS MAY ALLOW THOSE WITHIN THE MPE RADIUS TO EXPERIENCE RF RADIATION ABSORPTION W H I C H E X C E E D S T H E F C C M A X I M U M PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMIT.IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE RADAR OPERATOR TO ENSURE THAT THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS ARE OBSERVED AT ALL TIMES DURING RADAR TRANSMISSION. THE RADAR OPERATOR IS TO ENSURE THAT NO BYSTANDERS COME WITHIN THE RADIUS OF THE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS.Determining MPE RadiusTHE MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) RADIUS HAS BEEN ESTIMATED TO BE A RADIUS OF ABOUT 3.5 M PER OET BULLETIN 65 OF THE FCC.THIS ESTIMATE IS MADE ASSUMING THE MAXIMUM POWER OF THE RADAR AND ANTENNAS WITH A MAXIMUM GAIN OF 27 dBi ARE USED FOR A SHIP MOUNTED SYSTEM.MXR-5000T / Page 13-1-4

512BASIC RADAR THEORY■IndirectechoesIndirect echoes may be returned from either a passing ship, or returned from a reflecting surface, such as a mast on your own ship.An indirect echo from a reﬂecting surface will appear on a different bearing from the direct (true) echo, but the distance will be approximately the same for both.■Side-lobeechoesRadiation can escape on each side of the beam inside the lobes. If a target reﬂects this radiation, it will be displayed on the screen as an echo. Side-lobe echoes usually occur at short ranges and as a result of large (strongly reflective) targets. They canbereducedwithproperadjustmentofthe[SEA]control. Radarusesaformofelectromagneticradiation,whichlikelight,canbereected.Becauseofthisproperty,someobjects may cause false echoes on the screen where in fact no targets actually exist. These echoes may appear if a large vessel, bridge, or tank is in proximity. Operators should be familiar with the effects of these phenomena. In some cases, echoes can be reduced.

135BASICRADARTHEORY■MultipleechoesMultiple echoes may appear when a short-range and strong echo is received from a ship, bridge, or breakwater. Multiple echoes will appear beyond the target’s true echo point on the same bearing of a large target. They can be reduced with proper adjustment of the [SEA]control.■MinimumrangeDetection at short range is very important. Minimum range is determined primarily by transmitter pulse length, vertical beam width and height of the scanner unit. The shorter the transmission time, the quicker the return echoes can be received and their distance measured. The ability to see targets very close to the ship is decreased if the scanner is mounted too high off the water, because the bottom of the vertical beam of the scanner cuts off nearby targets.This target can not be recognized with radar.The target in this area can not be recognized.Pulse lengthPulse starting pointVertical beam widthOwn ship Another shipTr ue echoFalse echoes123456789101112131415161718192021MXR-5000T / Page 13-2-15

145BASICRADARTHEORY■BlindandShadowsectorsBlindorShadowsectorsmayexistbecauseofobstructions such as masts, derricks or stacks. An obstruction may throw either a complete or partial shadow as shown in the diagram below. If a target is in a shadow sector, target echoes may not appear on the screen.When tall and massive targets such as a large island are located at close range also shadowed without producing any echoes. This phenomenon is called blind sector. It is very important to know the bearings and widths of all shadow sectors caused by your own ship’s obstructions.■TargetresolutionTarget resolution is determined by the horizontal beam width and transmit pulse width. Sometimes it is difﬁcult to detect two targets which are separated by short distances or which are in the same direction.DDistanceresolution When two targets are separated by more than the pulse width, they appear as two echoes. When two targets are not separated by more than the pulse width, they appear as 1 echo.
