Shadow sector

Funnels, stacks, masts, or derricks in the path of the

antenna block the radar beam. If the angle subtended

at the antenna is more than a few degrees, a

non-detecting sector or blind spot may be produced.

Within this sector, targets can not be detected.

2.27.2 SART (Search and Rescue Transponder)

A Search and Rescue Transponder (SART) may be triggered by any X-Band (3 cm) radar

within a range of approximately 8 nm. Each radar pulse received causes it to transmit a

response which is swept repetitively across the complete radar frequency band. When

interrogated, it first sweeps rapidly (0.4 µs) through the band before beginning a relatively
slow sweep (7.5 µs) through the band back to the starting frequency. This process is

repeated for a total of twelve complete cycles. At some point in each sweep, the SART

frequency will match that of the interrogating radar and be within the pass band of the radar

receiver. If the SART is within range, the frequency match during each of the 12 slow

sweeps will produce a response on the radar display, thus a line of 12 dots equally spaced

by about 0.64 nautical miles will be shown.

When the range to the SART is reduced to about 1 nm, the radar display may show also the

12 responses generated during the fast sweeps. These additional dot responses, which

also are equally spaced by 0.64 nm, will be interspersed with the original line of 12 dots.

They will appear slightly weaker and smaller than the original dots.
