WX-radar: solid green line
Sometimes, usually during the cruise, you get this solid green return on the wx radar that looks like a solid green line reaching from your position to the edge of the screen. You know what I mean.
What causes this? I heard anything from AWACS to aliens...

Radar jamming and deception - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Theory here. Pointing a 1Kw emitter at a radar designed to recieve faint return pulses reflected from weather and you will overcome the gain of the radar, the result being a line on the radar. The relationship for returns is an D^3 relationship, wheras the power emmitted from the other radar is only proportional to D.
There is a range called "burn through" that we use that effectively means the radar recieving jamming can overcome the technique.
Other than changing PRF or freq can you overcome this issue.
