made of metal, reinforced concrete, or comparable attenuating
materials.
• Flanges,processttingsandmountingaccessoriesmustensure
the microwave impermeability of the vessel and not let the radar
signal escape to the outside
• Ifnecessary,existingviewingwindowsinthevesselmustbe
coated with a microwave impermeable material (e.g. electrically
conductive coating)
• Manholesandangesonthevesselmustbeclosedandsealedto
avoid penetration of the radar signal
• The instrument should be preferably mounted on top of the vessel
with antenna orientation downward
