1.16 Interference Rejector

Mutual radar interference may occur in the vicinity of another shipborne radar operating in the same frequency band (9 GHz). It is seen on the screen as a number of bright spikes either in irregular patterns or in the form of usually curved spoke-like dotted lines extending from the center to the edge of the picture. This type of interference can be reduced by activating the interference rejector circuit. “IR” and the rejection level indicator “L,” “M” or “H” appear at the top right corner when the interference rejector circuit is on.

Appearance of interference

Turn off the interference rejector when no interference exists, to avoid missing small targets.
