Radar interference
Radar interference describes the disruption of a radar system that leads to incorrect detection or display of objects. Such disturbances can be caused by environmental factors, technical faults, or intentional interference signals.
Causes of radar interference
Weather conditions: Heavy rain, thunderstorms, or snowfall can distort the radar image.
Interferences: Other electronic devices can cause disturbances.
Deliberate interference signals: Jamming or electronic warfare.
Measures to prevent interference
Radar systems can be protected from disturbances by filtering techniques and shielding. The use of more modern, interference-resistant systems also helps to minimise the effects of radar interference.
