Lower than required [GAIN] may result in missing small vessels and buoys. Higher [GAIN] than required may result in difficult discrimination between small ships and densely displayed high level background noise. Under some situation, desired target object may be masked by side lobe of antenna directivity or false echo by multi path. Lower [GAIN] until masked target echo can be recognized outside of the area where 2.7 Reject sea clutter (anti-SEA) is effective. However since lower [GAIN] tends to lose weak target echo, try to return the [GAIN] to original position each time [GAIN] is changed to maintain target recognition. In the short distance area where anti-SEA is effective, recognize target by adjusting MAN SEA. When suppressing RAIN clutter (rain or snow), adjust GAIN knob and RAIN knob side by side.
[GAIN] state is displaying in the upper right of the display. Selection of MAN GAIN and AUTO GAIN By GAIN knob When the GAIN knob is pressed, AUTO GAIN and MAN GAIN change alternately. By trackball/joystick 1 Move cursor on the MAN or AUTO display (whichever is shown) at right side of [GAIN] on the top of the display. 2 Press ENT key to change AUTO or MAN as appropriate. AUTO adjustment of GAIN When AUTO GAIN is set, [GAIN] is adjusted automatically. Note: AUTO GAIN may remove weak target echoes, or too much sea clutter may be on the display, turn GAIN knob clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust AUTO GAIN effectively.

On the rough sea, SEA clutter noise appears around antenna position (center spot), and short distant targets are masked and not recognizable. In that case, anti-SEA function suppresses sea clutter noise and reveals masked target echoes. Recommended adjustment of anti-SEA is to adjust to make echoes from sea clutter vaguely displayed by low (weak) level. If anti-SEA level is too high to show sea clutter noise, short distance gain is over suppressed and it may result in loss of targets like buoys and small ships. On the other hand, if anti-SEA level is too low, clutter noise around antenna position (center spot) is displayed by high intensity level and it makes difficult to discriminate small ships and buoys from sea clutter. Anti-SEA is effective to suppress false echoes and ground clutter in short distance. However adjustment of GAIN should be used beyond effective coverage of anti-SEA. SEA clutter at center After Adjusted MAN SEA If target echoes are masked by excessive false echoes within anti-SEA effective area, then adjust MAN SEA to confirm it. Excessive anti-SEA may lose echoes from small ships and buoys. So, return to appropriate anti-SEA level for normal use. Note:
Small targets become harder to detect when [SEA] is used together with [RAIN]. Therefore, please adjust them carefully. The echo process (refer to 2.23 Echo process) is useful to reject sea clutter. Be careful, when the echo process is active, high speed targets are harder to detect than stationary ones. Selection of MAN SEA and AUTO SEA By SEA knob When the SEA knob is pressed, AUTO SEA and MAN SEA change alternately. By trackball/joystick 1 Move cursor on the MAN or AUTO display (whichever is shown) at right side of [SEA] on the top of the display. 2 Press ENT key to display AUTO or MAN as appropriate. 2-10 0093155002-03 MDC-5200/5500 Series Chapter 2 Radar Basic Operation AUTO adjustment of SEA When AUTO SEA is set, anti-SEA is adjusted automatically. Note: AUTO SEA may erase weak target echoes. If excessive sea clutter erasing or too much clutter is observed, turn SEA knob clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust AUTO SEA effectively. If not setup properly, adjust it by referring to 4.4.3 Setup GAIN MIN and MAX mode of Installation manual. In case there are strong echo targets such as in the harbor or canal, anti-SEA tends to suppress excessively, use MAN SEA in that case. Manual adjustment of SEA When MAN SEA is selected, anti-SEA can be adjusted manually. By using SEA knob, suppress this effect and make targets seen easier.
[SEA] state is displayed in the upper right of the display. 1 Turn SEA knob clockwise to increase anti-sea clutter effect. Turn SEA knob counterclockwise to decrease anti-sea clutter effect. 2 Turn SEA knob clockwise until even low (weak) SEA clutter is displayed by observing the display. 3 Adjust SEA knob from time to time to get low (weak) SEA clutter on the display as intensity of sea clutter changes as time passes. SEA Low High Note:
When waves do not affect the result, turn the knob fully counterclockwise. This function reduces gain in closest ranges. Too much sea clutter may result in actual targets being lost. Manual SEA user keep watching and adjusting SEA with changing conditions. If SEA and anti-RAIN are used in combination, then small targets will be less visible. 2-11 0093155002-03 Chapter 2 Radar Basic Operation MDC-5200/5500 Series 2.8 Reject rain/snow clutter (anti-RAIN) In rain or snow, targets become hard to be seen as a result of unwanted weather reflection. Rain or snow image appears as a large target echo with surrounding mid gradation rim. Anti-RAIN is available MAN and CFAR. Adjustment of MAN (manual) and CFAR (Constant False Alarm Rate) by turning RAIN knob suppresses clutter, and helps to see targets clearly. MAN is effective for suppression of rain and snow. CFAR is effective for suppression of sea, rain and snow clutter. Rain clutter
[RAIN MODE] can be changed directly in the upper right of the display without using menu function. Note:
Small target becomes harder to detect when RAIN is used together with SEA. Therefore, please adjust them carefully. The echo process (refer to 2.23 Echo process) is useful to reject rain clutter. Be careful, when the echo process is active, high-speed targets are harder to detect than stationary ones.

After CFAR adjustment Turn RAIN knob counterclockwise to decrease anti-clutter effect. RAIN Weak Strong 2 Turn RAIN knob clockwise to get even low (weak) clutter while watching the display. Note:
In the case of CFAR mode, the gain adjustment is not possible. Adjust SEA knob to suppress remaining sea clutter. In typical environment CFAR should be turned all the way down via RAIN knob, and no white level should be indicated by CFAR window. Turning the knob to the right shows the targets hidden in the rain/snow image, but care shall be taken that small target may be hidden and not displayed if over adjusted. If there are strong echo targets such as in the harbor or channel, CFAR tends to suppress targets excessively. In that case, change CFAR to MAN and use MAN SEA in addition. 0093155002-03 2-13 Chapter 2 Radar Basic Operation MDC-5200/5500 Series RAIN MAN (manual) adjustment 1 Turn RAIN knob clockwise to increase anti-clutter effect.

The bearing is indicated in three ways: HUP, CUP and NUP. The target motion is indicated in two ways: RM and TM. 1 Move cursor on the DISPLAY MODE display, and press ENT key. The display changes in following order by pressing ENT key. Current display mode is displayed at the upper left of the display. H UPRM C UPRM C UPTM N UPRM N UPTM N Heading Note: Display mode can be changed directly to press MODE key. (MDC-5500 series only) For H UP (Head up mode) Heading line is always oriented toward the top of the display. This mode is based on the bow of the ship and is suitable to monitor targets because targets are seen as they are in navigating own ship. When heading signal is connected, H UP works by stabilized mode. (STAB H UP) Note:
This is a presentation mode stabilized in azimuth with fixed origin in which the radar image is oriented Own ship Target 1 Target 2 Land up toward the top of the bearing scale. Radar echoes and tracked targets are shown at their measured distances and moving in a direction relative to own ships heading. The heading line points from the own ship to the top of the bearing scale showing own ships heading in true bearing mode. 2-16 0093155002-03 MDC-5200/5500 Series Chapter 2 Radar Basic Operation N For C UP (Course up mode) When choosing Course up mode, current heading becomes the course at the top of the display and a moving heading line indicates actual. This mode is used to navigate towards a specified course. It easily shows any deviation of own ship from the specified course. Note:

If own ships heading differs from the course, then the heading line does not point vertically upwards from the own ship until the bearing scale is reset (manually or automatically) to reflect the course alteration. N For N UP (North up mode) This mode always keeps true north at the top of the display. A north oriented representation makes it easy to reference with a chart. Note:
This is an azimuth-stabilized presentation in which north on the bearing scale remains fixed vertically Own ship Heading Target 1 Target 2 Land above the own ship. The heading line points from the own ship to own ships referenced heading on the bearing scale. The true bearing of any target on the display is measured from north. 0093155002-03 2-17 Chapter 2 Radar Basic Operation MDC-5200/5500 Series For relative motion (RM) and true motion (TM) Relative motion fixes your antenna position at the center of the display, and indicates the motion of targets that surround your antenna position. Your antenna position is displayed at the center. So, while the ship is moving, the fixed targets such as the land also continue to move. True motion indicates the motion of the target with respect to the specified bearing. Fixed targets that do not move in any direction stay on the display, and all the moving targets move on the display. Note: The heading always continues to move. So, no true motion TM is available for H UP. Relative motion (RM): The antenna position is fixed and the other surrounding targets move on the display. This is useful to monitor the surrounding situation with respect to own ships position. Land Own ship Fixed Moving Moving True motion (TM): The antenna position on the display moves according to its speed and tidal current. Stationary targets are fixed on the display.

Echo process mode is used correlation method. Five types of C1, C2, C3, A1 and A2 are available.
[PROCESS] mode can be changed directly at the upper right of the display using trackball/joystick. 1 Move the cursor to OFF, C1, C2, C3, A1 or A2 of [PROCESS] at the upper right part of the display. Press ENT key repeatedly until the desired choice appears. Correlation image echo process Process mode: C1, C2, C3 The effect to suppress the sea and rain/snow clutter will be stronger in the order of C1 < C2 < C3. Process mode: A1, A2 A2 mode will display the hardly distinguished target of video signal for a long time than A1 mode. Note:
For confirmation of an image that may be hidden between the waves and the image of a fast ship that appears at a different position for each scan, the image may be displayed weaker than the actual one. Therefore, when fast moving target on the display, select [PROCESS] OFF. For operation of GAIN, SEA and RAIN, it may take some time before it becomes effective. Take enough time for the operation, or operate again after [PROCESS] has been once off. Echo process mode requires heading signal and speed signal, echo process mode turns into OFF if heading signal or speed signal is unavailable. 2-40 0093155002-03 MDC-5200/5500 Series Chapter 2 Radar Basic Operation 2.24 Echo expansion This function is to enlarge an image in the direction of distance/bearing. Small ships and remote targets can be enlarged to be easier to see.
[EXPANSION] can be changed directly at the upper right of the display. 1 Move the cursor to set value window of OFF, 1, 2, 3 or 4 of [EXPANSION] at the upper right part of the display. Press ENT key repeatedly until the desired choice appears. Note: The setting value can be selected from OFF, 1, 2, 3 and 4 and the larger value applies stronger enhance effect. EXP:OFF Note: The enlargement of targets has effect on all echoes. So, a large target such as land is also enlarged. Consequently, land and a small target may sometimes be seen as a single target. Pay attention to that.

Radar transmissions on same frequency band can cause interference noise on the display depending on its transmitted power. This noise pattern appearance varies case by case, but is usually spiral shape or like the spokes of a wheel in shape. This function can reduce interference effect.
[IR] can be changed directly at the upper right of the display.
[IR] is also effective to reduce second echo phenomenon. 1 Move the cursor to set value window of [IR] at the upper right part of the display. Press ENT key repeatedly until desired value appears. Note:
The setting value can be selected from OFF, 1, 2, and 3 and the larger value applies stronger interference rejection effect. Too much removal effect may also remove small targets. Pay attention to that. 2.26 Video contrast This is a function to change the relation between the strength of returned echo and their display gradation. At VID 1, the difference of signals strength between strong echo and weak echo becomes larger. As the numerical figure becomes larger in VID 2, VID 3, VID 4, and VID 5 the difference in signal strength becomes smaller.
[VID] can be changed directly at the upper right of the display. 1 Move CURSOR to 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 of [VID] at the upper right part of the display. Press ENT key repeatedly until desired value appears. When the difference of signal strength is small, images becomes sharper. However, signal strength from small ships and buoys is weak, and the difference between clutter and them is not large enough. Therefore, it is necessary to display clutter which may blend together with small ships and buoys. 2-42 0093155002-03 MDC-5200/5500 Series Chapter 2 Radar Basic Operation 2.27 Noise rejection This radar is equipped with a function that is capable to remove various signals picked up by the radar such as white noise, and display clean picture. 1 Press MENU key to display Menu.

It is an effective means for collision avoidance to set up CPA/TCPA. If AIS information is available with tracked targets, association increases tracking accuracy. Limitations of the TT function There are the following limitations on use of the target acquisition and tracked target of TT (ARPA) functions. Note:
If multiple targets approach each other, this may cause the system to regard them as one target and thus to swap them or loss part of them. Such swapping or less of targets may also occur if the picture of the target being tracked is affected by rain/snow clutter returns or sea clutter returns or moves very close to land. Intensity of echoes and the TT function have a correlation ship, and thus the target will be lost if no echoes and detected during six scans in succession. If a lost target exists, therefore, radar gain must be increased to support detection of the target. If radar gain is increased too significantly, sea clutter returns or other noise may be erroneously detected and tracked as a target, and resultingly, a false alarm may be issued. To execute accurate tracking, it becomes necessary first to appropriately adjust the GAIN, SEA and RAIN knobs of the radar so that the target to be acquired and tracked id clearly displayed on the radar display. Inappropriate settings of these adjustments reduce the reliability / accuracy of automatic tracking. 0093155002-03 4-15 Chapter 4 Target (AIS and TT) Enable TT function This is to enable TT function. 1 Press MENU key to display Menu.

MDC-5200/5500 Series Chapter 8 Principal of radar system Chapter 8 Principal of radar system What is radar system?
8.1 The radar is a navigation device that transmits a very high frequency radio wave referred to as microwave from the antenna. The radar then receives the radio wave reflected by target(s) (e.g. other ship, buoy, island, etc.) via the same antenna and converts the received radio wave to electronic signals and sends these signals to the Display unit. The radar makes it possible to find objects (targets), such as other ships, rocks or coastline, not seen by eyesight at night or in fog and allows ships to avoid these potential hazards. As the antenna transmits during 360-degree rotation, it is possible to see the current surrounding situation around your ship at a glance. The microwave radiated from the radar is referred to as pulse wave and the transmitting and receiving of these waves is alternated. Up to thousands of pulse waves are transmitted and received during one rotation The typical radar antenna is of parabolic type or slotted array type and its performance is essential for good radar performance. Some of factors affecting the quality of the target returns are antenna beam width and side lobe level. The narrow beam width provides high resolution for angular orientation to distinguish objects and the low side lobe level reduces false image effect. Other ship Radar wave Buoy Radar display Own ship Antenna
(during rotating) Side lobe The main lobe means the strongest radiated beam sent from the specific antenna, and the other weaker beams, are referred to as a side lobes. A side lobe level is a difference between the largest side lobe level and main lobe level. Side lobe level Main lobe Beam width Side lobe Antenna Antenna pattern 0093155002-03 8-1 Chapter 8 Principal of radar system MDC-5200/5500 Series Beam width Antenna beam width is defined as the angle where the radiation power density is within a half of maximum power density (-3 dB) in main lobe (also, referred to as half value width). 8.2 Characteristics of radar radio wave The radar radio wave propagates slightly along the ground (primarily line of sight). This characteristic varies depending on density of atmosphere, but is generally calculated according to the formula as shown below, considering that the distance with radar sight D is about 6 % longer than the distance with optical sight. h 1 D(NM) h1 : Antenna height (m) h2 : Target height (m) Earth Characteristics of radar radio wave Sight line Radar radio wave h2 Target hardness reflected The strength of the reflected wave from a target varies depending on not only the distance from the target, its height or size, but also its material and features. A target with a low degree of reflection or low incident angle, such as FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) and wooden ship is not reflected well. Therefore, care shall be taken that a FRP ship, a wooden ship or an object such as sand, a sandbar and muddy cay are poor radar targets. Since the distance from the coastline, etc. to your ship on a radar image tends to be seen as longer than that from the actual coastline, more caution should be paid when navigating around such objects. Not seen Coastline on radar image 3 1 HU Seen Actual (not seen) coastline 8-2 Example of targets hard to be reflected 0093155002-03 MDC-5200/5500 Series Chapter 8 Principal of radar system Radar shadow Since radar radio wave is line of sight in nature your stack mast close to the antenna or, a large ship or mountain may create blind spots for which the radar cannot penetrate. In such cases, they may completely or partially hide targets and cast a long shadow. Since the shadow of your stack or mast is known at the time of installation, proper selection of the antenna location is necessary to reduce the shadow effect. Since targets in this shadow area is less likely to be seen than in open sea, extra attention should be paid in shadowed areas. False image An image that does not actually exist (false image) at sea may appear on the display. The phenomena that causes false echoes are categorized and be described as follows:
Virtual image The image of a large physical object in proximity may appear in two different orientations. One is a real image and the other is a false image caused by wave re-reflected by the stack or the mast, etc. On the display, one image appears at the correct distance and bearing, and another one appears in the direction of a stack, a mast, etc. These images may also be generated by re-reflection from bridges and quays too. Real image Passage of direct reflection Passage of secondary reflection Mast, etc Direction of false image False image caused by virtual image False image 0093155002-03 8-3 Chapter 8 Principal of radar system MDC-5200/5500 Series Duplicate target images When there is a big reflective surface nearby and it is perpendicular at a close distance (i.e. when your ship is passed by a big ship, etc.), the radio wave bounces between own ship and the other ship. Therefore, two to four images may appear at equal range in the direction of this target. The false images generated by this multi-path reflection are referred to as double targets. In this case, the closest target is the real image. If the distance and bearing between own ship and the reflective target changes, then the duplicate targets will disappear. Therefore, this false image can be easily distinguished. Real image Own ship Large vessel False image caused by double image Double image Side lobe images The microwave beam radiated from the antenna has a side lobe in different direction than that of the main beam. Since this side lobe level is lower than that of main beam, the effect is negligible for targets at long range, but a close, strong reflecting target may cause false image appearing in a circular arc shape. CAUTION When own ship is close to large targets such as land, a circular image may appear. Main lobe Side lobe 8-4 False image by sidelobe Antenna Real image False image caused by sidelobe 0093155002-03 MDC-5200/5500 Series Chapter 8 Principal of radar system Skip target images False image of a distant target caused by skip phenomenon Depending on weather conditions, skip caused by the temperature inversion layer of air, etc. may appear. In this case, the radio wave may unusually propagate to distant targets out of the radar range. A target at more than the maximum range may appear as an image, and may be displayed as a false image with closer distance than the actual one. This phenomenon is a result of the wide range echo delay time exceeding the transmission period, and is displayed as echo in the following rotation. If the range scale is changed and the target range is changed, it can be judged as a false image. 8.3 Radar interference When the radar with the same frequency band is used nearby, interference noise appears on a display. Although appearance of interference is not constant, the shape is almost always swirling or radial. This series of radars features an IR (interference rejection) facility to reduce this interference. 0093155002-03 8-5
