FALSE TARGETS ON RADAR INDICATOR SCREENS

Abstract

Clear pips similar in shape to target pulses are sometimes observed in the operation of a radar. These may actually be target pulses, but they arrive upon random coincidence of the synchronization of two stations-one zone and an adjacent one. I relate this to the fact that the operator does sometimes find a target at the same azimuth after the observation of such pulses. However, if it is possible to receive a reflected pulse radiated by another station of identical type, can this be employed to increase the range of target detection. (Author)
