Identifying False Echo Returns
Not all echoes are direct returns to the radar antenna. Occasionally signals appear at positions where there is no actual target. These are called false echoes, and may be caused by side lobes, ghost images, indirect echoes or multiple echoes.
This subsection briefly describes the echo patterns that can be produced by false echoes and the likely cause. It should be noted that the radar operator, through observation, practice, and experience, can generally detect these conditions very quickly. These effects can usually be minimized using the radar controls.
