How to interpret the electrical distance in the tank plot in Radar Configuration Tools (RCT)?
The electrical distance that is shown on the x-axis of the tank plot is used when comparing the distance measured by the transmitter and the real distance. Due to the influence from the dielectric properties on the wave propagation speed the electrical distance values have to be adjusted when the wave is not traveling through air. The electrical length shows the distance with the assumption that the wave travels in air. Practically this means that the distance to the first level peak will have the same electrical distance and real distance.
