Earth n2 Figure A 1 Radar wave A 1 0 Targets difficult to display on screen The intensity ofthe reflected radio signal from a target depends on the distance height and size ofthe target as well as its material and shape along with the radar s transmitter power output and antenna size Targets made of fibreglass wood or other low reflectance materials or those that have a small incident angle are difficult to display on a screen Sandy beaches and sandy or muddy shallows can be difficult to catch Because there s not much to reflect a signal back to you a coastline can actually be closer to your boat than it appears on the screen Invisible Apparent coastline Visible Actual invisible coastline Figure A 1 0 Targets difficult to display on screen A 1 1 Shadow zones of radar Radar waves propagate in a straight line A high outcropping of land or a large ship will Page 32 C Radar Installation Manual create a shdow zone behind it and prevent you from seeing targets on the other side More importantly if a mast or some part of the boat s superstructure is in the path ofthe antenna s Sweep this will also create a shadow zone No targets will be recognized behind it and it could create a dangerous situation A 1 2 False echoes Sometimes radar will display targets on screen that do not exist in the real world You should be aware of how and why this happens Ghost echoes
