Additional benefits of FMCW radar are:
Safety:
• low energy emissions. 1/10th of a mobile phone
• safe operation in anchorages and marinas
• instant power up. No warm up required
Short range performance -
• broadband radar can see within a few meters of the boat, compared to pulse radars which
can not see closer than 30 meters
• higher resolution clearly separates individual vessels and objects
• Up to five times better sea and rain clutter performance
Low power -
• suitable for small boats and yachts
• easier installation with lighter cabling
• great for yachts on ocean passage
Instant power-up -
• conventional radars take 2-3 minutes to heat up the filament: Safety – 2 minutes is a
long time if you are concerned about collision; and
• convenience – switch it on and use it.
Easy to use
• no constant adjusting required to obtain optimum performance
• no re-tuning between ranges. Means fast range change at all ranges.
