RADAR – Radio, Detection, and Ranging –
|
The radar dish, or antenna, transmits pulses of radio waves or microwaves which bounce off any object in their path. The object returns a tiny part of the wave's energy to a dish or antenna which is usually located at the same site as the transmitter.

|
|
|
Echo
|
The reflection of sound
|
|
|
Sea Return
|
Target echoes created from radar strikes when the energy is reflected off the waves at various angles away from the ship. i.e. Rougher the seas the more sea return received
|
|
|
Clutter
|
Term used for unwanted echoes in radar systems. Can be caused by ground, sea, rain, animals/insects, chaff and atmospheric turbulences
|
|
|
Ground Clutter
|

buildings, trees, or terrain (hills, ocean swells and waves) obstruct a radar beam and produce echoes |
|
|
Sea Clutter
|
A form of radar signal contamination that occurs when events in the ocean such as ocean swells and waves obstruct a radar beam and produce echoes.
|
|
|
Range

encounter |
|
