Easily Identify Dangerous Targets
The Raymarine Quantum 2 Q24D Doppler target processing readily identifies and color codes moving radar contacts for instant recognition and reduced risk of collision.
Safer Navigation
Quantum 2’s exclusive Safety Sector feature provides the maximum level of visibility to dangerous targets in the path of your vessel (both mobile and stationary).
Superior Collision Avoidance
Doppler-enabled MARPA provides an effortless means of dangerous target tracking by eliminating the need to setup guard zones. Raymarine MARPA target tracking is the same technology trusted by the United States Coast Guard.
HOW DOPPLER RADAR WORKS
Microwave energy waves are bounced off of a distant target, just like conventional radar.
Moving targets send back echoes whose frequencies shift upward or downward from what was originally transmitted.
For inbound targets, the frequency increases as the leading edge of the returning echoes are received more frequently as the target’s range decreases.
For outbound targets, the frequency drops as the returning echoes spread out as its range increases.
Doppler radars are engineered to detect these small shifts in wave frequency, and use them to classify moving radar targets.
DOPPLER TARGET PROCESSING
Doppler radar is tuned specifically to detect the radar echo frequency shift returned by moving vs. stationary targets.
Quantum 2 then uniquely color codes moving targets to indicate whether they are getting closer, or moving away.
Inbound targets are colored red.
Outbound targets are colored green.
Color coded targets make it simple to pick out moving traffic from other stationary targets like land, navigation aids or stopped/anchored vessels.
QUANTUM 2 SAFTEY SECTOR
Doppler does an excellent job of bringing attention to moving targets, but it does downplay stationary targets, that can be equally as dangerous.
Safety Sector provides equal attention to these imminent threats by coloring them as inbound targets.
Potential targets include:
Buoys. Exposed Hazard (rocks, pilings, etc) Slow moving, low visibility vessels. Quantum 2's Safety Sector spreads 15° from the bow to a distance of approximately 200m.In The Box
