Alternative term: P.P.I. display

An intensity-modulated radar display in which a radial scan rotates on the cathode ray tube in synchronism with the rotating antenna.

The display indicates, as on a map, the positions of echo-producing objects, and is generally one of two main types, relative display or true motion display.
