Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a pulse trail for at least one target whose actual position is represented in a continuous manner in a radar image of a radar device. In order to improve said method, wherein the pulse trails are represented on the radar screen in a highly visible manner for a viewer without any overcrowding of the radar screen when a plurality of targets that should be displayed simultaneously are present, the actual target position can be seen by means of a plurality of pixels that cover a continuous surface of the radar image and prior target positions are represented by a thinning out of said pixels that increases according to the chronological status of the respective target positions in the area.
