1 The figure below is an example of:
a) a ramark
b) multiple echo
c) a SART
2 The purpose of the T/R cell is to:
a) radiate the radar pulses to the target
b) protect the receiver during transmission
c) shape the beam in the vertical plane
3 The purpose of the gain control is to adjust:
a) the amplification of target echoes
b) the brightness of the display picture
c) the sharpness of the display picture
4 The tuning control adjusts:
a) the frequency of the receiver
b) the brightness of the picture
c) the power output
5 When ducting occurs the radar beam:
a) bent upwards to penetrate cooler air
b) carried long distances between air layers
c) bent downwards and reflected off the sea
6 Indirect echoes are caused by reflections from:
a) large close targets
b) obstructions close to the scanner
c) targets on the beam
7 Minimum range depends mainly on:
a) scanner height
b) vertical beamwidth
c) pulse length
8 8. A vessel equipped with both a 10 cm and a 3 cm radar. One would expect the 3 cm
radar to provide better:
a) range discrimination
b) range
c) attenuation
9 The theoretical detection range of an object 81 metres high, from a ship with an aerial
16 metres above sea would be:
a) 29 miles
b) 27 miles
c) 21 miles
10 A small GRP vessel is considered a poor radar target mainly because:
a) GRP is transparent to radar energy
b) GRP absorbs radar energy
c) GRP reflects all the radar energy
11 Range discrimination between two targets at about 8 miles on the display can be
improved by:
a) reducing gain
b) reducing pulse length
c) reducing tuning
12 If an echo appears in a shadow sector you could check if it was a real echo by:
a) reducing gain
b) reducing brilliance
c) altering course
13 Increasing the sea clutter control:
a) reduces echo strength from waves
b) reduces amplification of close echoes
c) blanks out the inner screen
14 A rasterscan radar differs from a analogue radar in that:
a) the screen is rectangular
b) the screen is round
c) the screen is coloured
15 The figure below could be an example of:
a) a multiple echo
b) side echoes
c) mutual interference
16 The figure below is that used by the IMO to indicate:
a) pulse length
b) short pulse
c) long pulse
17 The figure below is that used by the IMO to indicate:
a) true motion
b) north-up
c) ships head up
18 The figure below is that used by the IMO to indicate:
a) radar on
b) scale illumination
c) brilliance
19 The figure below could be an example of:
a) a multiple echo
b) side echoes
c) mutual interference
20 The figure below is that used by the IMO to indicate:
a) VRM
b) pulse length
c) range
