-A [[radar]] display on test [[test]] test which targets appear as vertical deflections from a horizontal line that  represents elapsed time from the most recent transmitted [[pulse]].<br/> Distance to the [[target]] is indicated by the horizontal position of the deflection from the origin  of the time axis; the [[amplitude]] of the vertical deflection is a function of the received [[signal strength|signal  strength]]. The A-display was the first type of radar display in common use. It may be produced  by amplitude modulating the horizontal [[sweep]] of an [[oscilloscope]] with the received [[signal]]. An  oscilloscope displaying this is called an [[A-scope]]. On an A-scope the difference between the coherent  [[echoes]] produced by aircraft or ships and the rapidly fluctuating incoherent echoes from [[precipitation]]  is readily apparent.
