Safe emissions
Powerful enough to slice through atmospheric
clutter, Raymarine radars still comfortably meet
International limits Radio Frequency emissions
– in fact, the energy absorbed from an ordinary
mobile phone can be several times greater than
that from a correctly installed Raymarine radar.
Installation
All radars work on line-of-sight principles so
although antennas could theoretically be fitted
almost anywhere, unobstructed and parallel to
the water line is better.
Interference resistance
Raymarine radars use interference rejection tech-
nology to resist signal interference from other
vessels' transmissions as well as close proximity
objects already fitted to the boat.
256 colour resolution
Helps define the strength of target returns and
highlights targets that could be hidden within
clutter.
RACON and SART
Raymarine radar antennas also trigger RACON
beacons and home in on signals from Search
And Rescue Transponders.
Pulsed magnetron vs broadband
(FMCW) radar technology
Broadband (FMCW) radars typically emit low
levels of energy, resulting in loss of ultimate
performance in conditions of fog, rain, spray and
snow, and limiting target detection at longer
ranges.
Raymarine pulsed magnetron radars combine
low average energy with high peak powers
allowing the radar to detect targets at greater
ranges, and to punch through adverse weather
conditions ensuring targets are identified.
