Raymarine Quantum 2 CHIRP Doppler Radar

Using advanced Doppler processing, the system instantly highlights moving radar contacts and color codes them to indicate whether they are inbound or outbound. The Quantum 2 Doppler Radar makes it easy to discern potentially dangerous targets when navigating in high-traffic areas.

Superior performance for situational awareness

CHIRP Pulse Compression detects contacts as close as 18-feet for zero-visibility navigation and up to 24-mile range for early detection of traffic, navigation aids, landfall and weather.

• Low power consumption for extended battery life under sail

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.

Automatic target acquisition and tracking

The Quantum 2 also features fully automatic target acquisition and tracking. Configure custom safety or alarm zones and be alerted to new radar contacts entering the zone. Quantum 2 can begin tracking those contacts automatically, calculating their course, speed, closest point of approach and more. You’ll be alerted to dangerous contacts with audible alerts and easy to understand on-screen graphics.

True Trails

Quantum 2 features Raymarine’s new True Trails target history display. The True Trails feature enables you to see a historical “wake” behind every moving contact. This additional information makes it even easier to interpret the motion of other vessels, and make smart maneuvering decisions to pass safely.
