Plan Position Indicator (PPI) scanning mode
Plan Position Indicator (PPI):
When scanning in PPI mode, the radar holds its elevation angle constant but varies its azimuth angle. The returns can then be mapped on a horizontal plane.
plan position indicator"(Abbreviated PPI.) A type of radar display on which the reflectivity or other properties of echoes are plotted in plan position, forming a maplike display, ...
PLAN POSITION INDICATOR Also known as a PPI Scope, it is a radar indicator scope displaying range and azimuth of targets in polar coordinates.
Plan Position Indicator
An acronym for Plan Position Indicator. A PPI displays radar data horizontally using a map projection. In PPI mode, the radar makes a 360-degree sweep with the antenna at a specific elevation angle.
