8. INFLUENCES AND INTERFERENCE
Interferences from external sources may affect the standard
operation of any radar device, including the Falcon HR.
These influences can be natural or man-made, however, the
Digital Signal Processing circuitry will eliminate most of
these influences and a knowledgeable operator should be
able to determine the nature of the influences and their
effect, if any, on the performance of the Falcon HR.
8.0 NATURAL INFLUENCES
1. Heavy rains and blowing dust can cause a scattering
effect, which may reduce the effective range of the
Falcon HR. The patrol speed can also be affected by
driving rain. It is recommended that the operator
compare the patrol speed reading and the speedometer
reading frequently during rainy periods.
2. Terrain can affect the range of the Falcon HR.
Improper aiming of the antenna can cause the radar to
appear to have short range. If the target vehicle were
on a slight incline, the antenna could be shooting short
of the intended target vehicle.
3. Strong reflections from roadside objects, such as large
signs, parked cars and buildings can cause double
bounce reflections, which appear to be targets traveling
at the same speed as the patrol vehicle. The DSP will
analyze signals that are the same as the patrol speed, if
it is determined they are possible “harmonics” from
double bounce the TARGET window will display “- -“
until this condition no longer exists.
