Surface Wave-OTH (SW-OTH) radars are used to detect surface ship and low air activity beyond the visible horizon, out to about 300km, although the absolute range is dependent upon atmospheric conditions, system power and the time of day.

The designation of China’s SW-OTH is not known, but reliable reports suggests that she has at least two systems in operation, with one ranged over the Taiwan Straits in 2003.

CEIEC brochures state that China’s SW-OTH system uses FMICW and FMPCW transmissions, which probably translate to Interrupted and Pulsed FMCW.
