2-20
Sidelobe suppression B
For greater sidelobe suppression,
use [Sidelobe Sup. B]. The setting
range is 1 to 5. The larger the setting
value, the more the sidelobe is sup-
pressed; however, the width of the
beam increases thus resolution is
lower. The negative value setting (-5
to -1) is effective for reducing the ef-
fects of screw noise.
The area in which to suppress side-
lobes with [Sidelobe Sup. B] can be
set with [Sidelobe Dir1] and [Sidelobe Dir2]. The setting range is 0°
≤
[Sidelobe Dir1]
≤
[Sidelobe Dir2]
≤
180°, symmetrical in port-starboard directions. An area can be set
when [Sidelobe Sup. B] is 0 - 5. In this case the settings of Dir1 and Dir2 are gray.
