SET # 04
=========
Put True or False
1. Double the plotting interval will half the chance of making errors in the
estimation of the nearest approach
3. The IMO specification of marine radars requires that the radar beam in the
horizontal plane shall not be less than 2° , measured to the half power points.
5. An aerial having an aperture of 300 cms, in the horizontal plane will have better
bearing discrimination when used with waves of 10cm. length than with waves of
3 cm, length.
6. Radar interference, which is observed when only one ship’s echo is on the
display, indicates that the vessel concerned is using its radar.
7. The rain clutter on 3 cm, radar sets is less dense than on 10 cm. radar sets, given
that external conditions are identical.
8. The height of the tide may affect the intensity of echoes on a marine radar display.
12. Unwanted responses from a Racon at close range can be minimized by using the
differentiator control.
13. One of the factors favoring sub-refraction is relative humidity increasing with
height.
14. Switching on the FTC control aids the detection of targets beyond rain
16. A 10-cm. radar will have better bearing discrimination than a 3-cm. radar,

unadjusted when range scales are changed.
18. Using the parallel index technique on a relative motion display the observer is
able to constantly monitor the effect of a cross tide by observing the motion of a
fixed target.
19. Under sub-refraction conditions the radar of a target is likely to be less than its

20. A reliable method of ensuring optimum performance of a radar set is to tune for
maximum response of sea clutter.
22. Targets outside the angle subtended by half-power points of the transmitted

to obstructions causing blind arcs.
24. One of the factors favoring super-refraction conditions is cool air blowing over a
warm sea.
25. Equal spacing of range rings confirms that they are accurate for range
measurements.
26. The detection range of a target is improved by the use of a larger horizontal beam-
