HD Color Marine Radome Antennas
Radome antennas are the perfect blend of compact size, light weight and
high performance. Choose a radome antenna when space is a premium or
restricted by rigging. Radome scanners also consume less power than open
array scanners which is essential for long-distance cruising sailboats.
|
Beam Sharpening Technology
Also called Antenna
Boost, is digital technology that allows a small radar scanner to perform with
characteristics like an antenna of a much larger physical size. Using patented
Digital Signal Processing techniques, Raymarine’s Magnum Open Array radars use
beam sharpening to provide map-like coastal detail, enhanced target
separation, and increased sensitivity to weak and long-range targets.
MARPA Target Tracking
A collision avoidance
feature allows your radar to acquire and track targets of interest. Targets
can be acquired manually or automatically (on some systems.) After acquiring
the target, the radar will calculate the target’s course, speed, closest point
of approach (CPA) and time to CPA. On-screen symbology shows you the target’s
direction and speed. Visible and audible cues warn you of developing dangerous
situations.
High Speed Scanning
Allows select radar
scanners to spin faster when operating at ranges below 3 miles. When high
speed mode is enabled, and the selected range scale is 3 miles or less, the
scanner will increase its rotation speed from 24 to 48 RPM. This effectively
doubles the update rate of the scanner, allowing for better visibility and
tracking of fast moving targets close to the boat.
Stabilized PPI Display
Allows the radar Plan
Position Indicator (PPI) or scope to update in real-time even as the heading
of the boat is changing. This gives you a smooth, accurate plot of all radar
contacts when changing course or maneuvering, without having to wait for the
radar scanner to sweep through a full rotation. Stabilized PPI requires the
presence of a heading sensor like the Raymarine EV1or an Evolution Autopilot
System.
AutoGST™ Technology
Refers to Raymarine’s
adaptive transmitter and receiver. It automatically adjusts the Gain, Sea
Clutter and Tuning for true hands-off operation. Auto GST continuously
monitors the environment and adjusts these setting automatically for the best
picture under all conditions.
Advanced Target Separation
ATX™ technology gives
Quantum radars unsurpassed range resolution. Densely packed targets can be
seen individually, rather than merged together as one large target.
Radar Overlay on Chart
Lets you see the live
radar image as a semi-transparent layer on your navigation chart. This allows
you to confirm the positions of navigation aids, other vessels, obstacles and
landmass by comparing them to charted objects. Radar overlay is also very
useful to boaters new to radar and looking to get comfortable interpreting the
radar returns.
Timed Transmit Mode
A valuable
power-saving feature for sailboats and electric boats. When enabled your radar
scanner will automatically transmit at a selectable interval, and then go back
into a low power standby mode. The reduces the overall duty-cycle of the radar
while allowing you to maintain a long-range watch. The result is a significant
savings of crucial battery power while underway
Radome or Open Array - What's
the difference?
Marine radar
systems fall into two primary categories: Open-Array or Enclosed Radome
Systems.
Open Array
Open-Array radar
scanners are made of 2 parts. The radar pedestal houses the scanner’s
electronics and drive mechanism. Atop the pedestal is mounted a radar antenna
or array. Raymarine’s Magnum Open Array radar scanners consist of pedestals
with 4kW or 12kW power output, and your choice of a 4-foot or 6-foot antenna
array.
Open-Array radars are
easily identified by their rotating antennas. When choosing an open-array
system you will need to consider the amount of space available on your boat,
as well as the weight capacity of the location where you’ll be installing the
radar scanner. Be sure to leave a clear radius around the pedestal to allow of
the rotation of the antenna. Magnum open-array systems weigh approximately 60
pounds (27 kg) so make sure your radar arch, hard top, or other overhead
structure is rated to carry that amount of weight.
Open-array radars are
generally more powerful and offer longer range capabilities than radome
scanners. Open arrays offer enhanced details of shoreline and targets packed
tightly together thanks to their larger antenna size. Radar systems use the
length of their antenna array to focus the radar beam. Larger antennas make
for more tightly focused beams. Open array scanners are also more sensitive to
weak targets and targets at long range, again because of their larger antenna
array.
Enclosed Radomes Scanners (Radomes)
Enclosed Radome
Scanners contain many of the same components as their open-array cousins, but
all the moving pieces are housed inside an enclosure called a radome. This
arrangement is especially popular on sailing vessels and small boats where
there is a chance of sails, rigging, lines, or fishing tackle getting wrapped
in a spinning antenna. Radome scanners are also much lighter weight than
open-array scanners. Raymarine’s Quantum radar scanners are among the lightest
available on the market weighing in at just over 12 pounds (5.6 kg.)
Raymarine offers 2
series of radome radar scanners. Quantum radar systems are solid-state CHIRP
radar systems with excellent performance at both short and long ranges, up to
24 miles. HD Color radome systems are excellent performers for small,
high-performance coastal cruising and fishing boats. HD Color radars offer a
powerful 4kW transmitter with 48-mile range, dual-range
