The radar scanner is an aerial which rotates continuously. The aerial alternatley transmits and receives in quick succession. By scanning the horizon, the echoes it receives, can be built up into a circular picture. The origin (scanner position) is at the centre of the circle and the echoes it receives will 'paint' a picture like a map, in plan view. This type of display is called a PPI (Plan Position Indicator)
