phantom target Explanation: What I would suggest. This link states: "Conical scanning using a dish type of radar antenna produces a pencil shaped beam and that requires the antenna to have a fully stabilized mounting. Furthermore, with such a beam it can be very difficult for the radar to blindly acquire the target, and with auto lock on and tracking, the radar might lock onto a phantom target when operating over water."
