Identifying False Echo Returns
Notallechoesaredirectreturnsto the radarantenna. Occasionally signals
appearat positionswherethere is no actualtarget.Theseare calledfalse
echoes,and may be caused by side lobes,ghost images, indirectechoes or
multipleechoes.
Thissectionbrieflydescribesthe echopatternsthatcan be producedbyfalse
echoesandthelikelycause.Itshouldbenotedthattheradaroperator,through
observation, practice,and experience,cangenerally detecttheseconditions
veryquickly.Theseeffectscanusuallybe minimizedusing theradar controls.
Side Lobes

echoesnormallyoccur at rangesbelow3nm, and can be reducedby adjusting
