Introducing Raymarine Quantum 2 radar with anti-collision Doppler technology. Raymarine's next-generation pulse-compression Quantum 2 CHIRP radar better identifies targets at both long and very short ranges.
Using advanced Doppler processing, the system immediately highlights radar contacts and differentiates them with colors to indicate whether they are approaching or receding. Quantum with Doppler allows you to distinguish potentially dangerous objects when navigating in high traffic areas.
Main features
Doppler viewing of the moving target allows for greater situational awareness at a glance
Fully automatic ARPA target tracking, plus manual MARPA mode
TrueTrails adjustable target history shows the movement history of moving contacts
CHIRP pulse compression detects contacts from at least 5 meters away while navigating in zero visibility
24-mile range for early detection of traffic, navigation aids, landfalls and weather conditions
Instant awareness: Quantum boots up and is ready to use in seconds
Excellent interference rejection eliminates interference caused by radar transmissions from other vessels
Simplified installation with Wi-Fi or thin wire network connectivity
Easy to upgrade: Quantum 2 uses the same bolt pattern as other Raymarine scanners
Lightweight and easy to install: Quantum weighs up to 50% less than similar magnetron radars
Safe emissions: Mount Quantum anywhere on board
Low power consumption for longer battery life while sailing
Easily identify dangerous targets
Doppler target processing in the Raymarine Quantum 2 easily identifies and color-codes radar contacts, allowing you to recognize them immediately and reduce the risk of collision.
DOPPLER PROCESSING OF THE TARGET
Doppler radar is specifically tuned to detect the changing frequency of echoes returned from moving and stationary targets.
The Quantum 2 then distinguishes moving targets with colors to indicate whether they are approaching or receding.
Approaching targets are colored red.
Receding targets are green.
Color-coded targets make it easy to spot moving traffic among other stationary targets such as land, navigation aids, and stationary or anchored vessels.
AUTOMATIC TARGET ACQUISITION AND MONITORING
The Quantum 2 acquires and tracks targets fully automatically. You can set up safety or alert zones and receive alerts for new radar contacts that enter them. The Quantum 2 automatically begins tracking these contacts and calculates their course, speed, closest approach point and much more. Dangerous contacts are signaled with audible alerts and easy-to-understand on-screen graphics.
The Quantum 2 also features the new Raymarine chronological display of True Trails (true movements) of the targets. The True Trails feature allows you to see a historical "trail" behind each moving contact. This additional information makes it even easier to interpret the movements of other vessels and make intelligent maneuvering decisions to pass safely.
HOW DOPPLER RADAR WORKS
The microwaves of energy bounce off a distant target, just like in conventional radar.
Moving targets return an echo whose frequency is higher or lower than what was originally transmitted.
For approaching targets the frequency increases, as the leading edge of the returning echoes is received more frequently as the distance to the target decreases.
For receding targets the frequency decreases, as the returning echoes are distributed as the distance increases.
Doppler radars are designed to detect these small changes in wave frequency and use them to classify moving targets.
