Quantum 2 Q24D Radar Doppler with 10M Power & Data Cables

The Raymarine Quantum 2 Radar has Doppler collision avoidance technology. The Quantum 2 next generation CHIRP pulse compression radar by Raymarine provides superior target awareness at both long and extremely short ranges.

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

Easily Identify Dangerous Targets
Raymarine Quantum 2 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.

• Safe emissions – mount Quantum anywhere onboard
• 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.

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 Safety 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

NOTE: The safety sector is not visible on the display. Quantum 2 automatically processes and highlights targets within this region in red.

The Raymarine Quantum 2 Q24D Radar Doppler with a 10-meter power and data cable is a state-of-the-art radar system featuring advanced Doppler collision avoidance technology. This next-generation CHIRP pulse compression radar offers exceptional target awareness at both long and extremely short ranges. Utilizing sophisticated Doppler processing, the system instantly highlights moving radar contacts and color codes them to indicate whether they are inbound or outbound, making it easier to identify potentially dangerous targets in high-traffic areas.

How Doppler Radar Works

Doppler radar works by bouncing microwave energy waves off distant targets, similar to 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 specifically tuned to detect the radar echo frequency shift returned by moving versus stationary targets. The Quantum 2 then uniquely color codes moving targets to indicate whether they are getting closer or moving away. Inbound targets are colored red, while outbound targets are colored green. This color coding makes it simple to pick out moving traffic from other stationary targets like land, navigation aids, or stopped/anchored vessels.

Quantum 2 Safety Sector

While Doppler radar excels at highlighting moving targets, it can downplay stationary targets, which can be equally dangerous. The Safety Sector feature provides equal attention to these imminent threats by coloring them as inbound targets. Potential targets include buoys, exposed hazards (rocks, pilings, etc.), and slow-moving, low-visibility vessels. The Quantum 2’s Safety Sector spreads 15° from the bow to a distance of approximately 200 meters. Note that the Safety Sector is not visible on the display; Quantum 2 automatically processes and highlights targets within this region in red.

Additional Features

The Quantum 2 also features fully automatic target acquisition and tracking. You can 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.

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

Like every Raymarine Quantum system, you’ll benefit from a rugged and lightweight design that is super-easy to install. Quantum 2 has very low power consumption, making it especially friendly to vessels running exclusively on battery power. Quantum 2 with Doppler can be installed in a traditional wired configuration or use its built-in Wi-Fi technology to connect it to your Raymarine MFD.

The Quantum 2 with Doppler truly sets the standard for on-the-water safety and collision avoidance.
