Technology and software - what's the difference? Raymarine has 4 different types of radar antenna:

Marine Radar Features

Raymarine radar delivers unmatched performance and ease-of-use

Raymarine's HD color technology brings radar users the power of digital signal processing with a truly adaptive transmitter and receiver that automatically adjusts to changing environmental and sea conditions.

Weather advantage

Raymarine's HD color scanners provide superior all weather performance allowing you to still see targets through rain and thunderstorms. Use radar to track weather too.

During this abnormally heavy rain storm (see left hand image), rain mode was used to cut the clutter to clearly reveal the targets (see right hand image).

Cut the clutter

Detect targets at very close proximity to your vessel, or at very long ranges to see distant vessels, land features and even weather fronts. Distinguish targets through even the heaviest rain clutter.

Use the radar to see the weather coming, then use the radar overlay to map the weather pattern onto the chart.

Track Targets

Not everything transmits AIS!

Using MARPA* (mini-automatic radar plotting aid) allows you to identify vessel, speed, bearing, closest point of approach (CPA) and time to closest point of approach (TCPA), dangerous/proximity alarms, overlay AIS info for further target clarification.

*For the best radar overlay and MARPA performance fit a smart heading sensor or an SPX autopilot course computer.

Digital, HD Color, Super HD Color Radar

Raymarine radar - What's the difference?

Digital radar

Offers 4kW capability for improved performance and uses digital processing for increased target definition. Digital reduces the cable size (compared to analogue) and makes an easier interface to larger systems.

Available models: Digital Radome

HD Color radar

Raymarine's HD color radar utlizes powerful signal processing technologies that help distinguish between target types, detects weak and distant contacts automatically, while virtually eliminating clutter and noise. The truly adaptive transmitter and receiver automatically adjusts to changing environmental and sea conditions. HD color radar delivers a dramatically clearer radar picture with crisp, well-defined contact echoes and a life-like target presentation.

Available models: HD color Radome and HD color Open Array

Super HD color radar

Super HD color radar is a giant leap in leisure marine radar. Using highly advanced digital signal processing, Super HD color radar has much greater dynamic range than conventional radar enabling the digital receiver to acquire and process vast amounts of echo information that is normally lost by conventional analogue radar systems. Super HD Color technology intelligently isolates and identifies true radar targets, while simultaneously eliminating unwanted clutter. The extra-narrow beam width pinpoints targets with stunning clarity. The result is a dramatically clearer radar display.
