L Display

</dt>
In radar, a display in which a target appears as two horizontal blips, one extending to the right and one to the left, from a central vertical time base. When the radar antenna is alined in azimuth at the target both blips are of equal amplitude. When not correctly pointed the relative blip amplitude indicates the pointing error. The position of the signal along the baseline indicates target distance. The display may be rotated 90 degrees when used for elevation instead of azimuth aiming. Also called L-scan, L-scope, L-indicator. </dd>
