CHIRP Pulse Compression
• Excellent short-range detection and enhanced target detail with 18’ (6m) minimum range.
• CHIRP Pulse compression ensures more energy reaches each target, resulting in superior imaging on long ranges.
• Day marker target at close range.
Small Target Detection
Quantum’s CHIRP Pulse Compression technology identifies small, weak targets, even when positioned close to strong returns.
• Quantum detects the small kayak very close to the waterfront bulkhead.
Immediate Awareness
Quantum solid-state technology is ready to use in seconds, without any lengthy warm up period.
Simplified Installation
• Simple Wi-Fi connection between Quantum and any Raymarine LightHouse II powered MFD.
• Quantum’s small diameter power cable is easy to route through tight spaces.
• Easy to upgrade – Quantum uses the same bolt pattern as previous generation radars. Optional Quantum adapter cable eliminate the need to run new radar cables.
Energy Efficient and Lightweight Design
• Weighs 50% less than traditional magnetron radars.
• Safe Emissions thanks to Quantum’s low power solid state radar transmitter.
• Very low power consumption (17 Watts transmit and 7 watts standby).
• Extended vessel battery life when under sail.
