5.2 STRENGTH OF REFLECTION FROM THE
TARGET
The signal intensity reflected from a target depends not only on the height and size of the target but also on its
material and shape. The echo intensity from a higher and larger target is not always higher in general.
In particular, the echo from a coast line is affected by the geographic conditions of the coast.
If the coast has a very gentle slop, the echo from a mountain of the inland appears on the radar display.
Therefore, the distance to the coast line should be measured carefully.
