ABSTRACT:
A process provides radar scan conversion from radar amplitude data in polar coordinates to rectangular coordinates by a digital computer which receives (r,.theta.) coordinate amplitude data from a radar receiver and which supplies (x,y) coordinate amplitude which covers a rectangular-shaped display area of a monitor display. A software program generates an aggregate radial scan pattern that consists of a plurality of radials each of which have active lengths that span one or more of a plurality of selected zones of the display such that as the average azimuthal resolution associated with each zone increases, the number of generated radials match the average azimuthal resolution of the display for each zone. The display can be generated as an offset display relative to the antenna center of a display that has no offset.
