Radar/Chart Overlay
The Radar Overlay feature allows you to overlay radar data on any map page, for a single, detail-rich display, as long as you have a valid GPS position and a compatible NMEA 2000 heading sensor.

Turn on overlay transparency, select a transparency level, and choose the color of the radar overlay to your preference.

Clear Viewing
With features such as Automatic Tune, Gain, and Anti-Sea Clutter and Anti-Rain Clutter adjustment, Lowrence radome units ensure you get the best possible viewing conditions. The Gain feature allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the receiver, optimizing it for your current needs. Anti-Sea Clutter lowers receiver sensitivity at shorter ranges, to reduce or eliminate echoes that reflect back at the antenna due to wave action close to the vessel. Anti-Rain doe the same thing for the small echoes that clutter the display during rain or snow storms.

Color Recognition
The LRA-1800 offers different color palette choices for improved target distinction based on viewing conditions. Eight color options are offered.

Auto Power-On
The Auto Power-on feature allows the radar to start warming up every time the display unit is turned on.

marine radar : Sea Clutter: Scattering, the K Distribution And Radar Performance (IET Radar, Sonar, Navigation and Avionics) Description

Sea Clutter: Scattering, the K-Distribution and Radar Performance gives an authoritative account of our current understanding of radar sea clutter. The authors pay particular attention to the compound K distribution model, which they have developed over the past 20 years. Evidence supporting this model, including a detailed review of the calculation of EM scattering by the sea surface, its statistical formulation, and practical application to the specification, design and evaluation of radar systems are all discussed. The calculation of the performance of practical radar systems is presented in sufficient detail for the reader to be able to tackle related problems with confidence.

This book should be invaluable to specialist radar engineers and academic researchers, and of considerable interest to the wider applied physics and mathematics communities.

marine radar : The Boaters Guide to Using Marine Radar Description

Learn HOW RADAR can assist you on the water, HOW TO USE IT as an aid to SAFE navigation & COLLISION avoidance. Radar is the most interactive aid to navigation. Using it with competence demands far more expertise than with a GPS unit. The primary purpose of marine radar is to serve as an aid to collision avoidance. It can increase boaters’ safety on the water more than any other electronic devise allowing boaters to “see” through rain, darkness, poor visibility and fog. It can confirm your position relative to landmarks and navigational aids and alert you to other vessels and coastal outlines. However, the ultimate value of radar and all electronic equipment lies with the boater’s ability to understand and properly use the information on the display. Within the last few years the costs of radar units, especially the smaller LCD display units, have been substantially reduced, making it feasible even for small boats to take advantage of radar equipment. This program teaches boaters’ what radar is, how it works and how you can get the most from these important navigators. It teaches boaters how alarms can be set, to alert you that targets are entering a particular location or that your own boat is nearing a dangerous area. Echo trails can help you access the movement of targets relative to your own boat. Radar can also be used to determine your position to back up chart information, electronic aids to navigation and used to navigate to a specific location. For Fishermen, Radar is often used to locate sea birds that help them locate fish and improve their catch! This program covers radar resolution, beam width, pulse repetition rate, including an explanation of minimum and maximum detectable ranges. Subjects covered include; Radar controls such as power, gain, scanner, standby and transmit, A/C rain controls, A/C sea controls, display controls, range, range rings, VRM (Variable range marker), EBL (Electronic bearing line), plot, echo trails, relative and true bearing modes, shifting off center, zooming, interference rejection, guard alarms, echo stretch, ARPA, or Automatic Radar Plotting Aids and AIS (Automatic Identification Systems). It also teaches boaters how to interpret the radar display, radar pictures, radar interference, target properties, multiple echoes, blind and shadow sectors, side lobe echoes, target material reflections and the effects of precipitation. Principles of Radar: Types of Radar Antenna
Types of Radar Displays, What Radar – Can Do For You, How Radar Works, Radar System Configurations, Radar Range, Unusual Propagation, Radar Terminology, Radar Controls. Radar Picture and Marks: Measuring Range, Measuring Bearing, Sea Clutter, Rain Clutter, AIS, ARPA, Aids to Navigation. Interpreting the Display: Radar Picture & Target Properties, Target Material & Reflected Echo, Precipitation, Influence of Waves & Precipitation, Advanced Radar Operation.
