Weather Radar Interference
The third common source of
interference occurs when
another weather radar
system with similar charac-
teristics is transmitting in the
area. Figure 16 shows what
is displayed in this situation.
These are commonly
referred to as “rabbit tracks”.
Again, while the aircraft is on
the ground antenna tilt angle
adjustment will have little
effect, but once airborne
extreme tilt angle positions
will be more effective toward
removing this interference
from the display.
The fourth source of interfer-
ence, as shown in Figure
17, is the result of another
pulse-type radar system
operating at a much higher
transmission rate than the
RDR 2100. This type of
spoke is normally 3 to 12
degrees wide in the azimuth
direction. The same inter-
ference reduction tech-
niques described earlier will
also work well here.
