ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for evaluating the terrain surrounding a radar site. The method comprises to calculate the radar horizon around a radar site from stored terrain elevation information. The information obtained can be used for controlling the scanning profile of the radar, by letting the radar scan above the calculated horizon, and thus avoiding transmitting into the terrain.
