Additional b enefits of FMCW radar
Safety
• low energy emissions. 1/2 of a mobile phone
• safe operation in anchorages and marinas
•
instant power up. No warm-up required.
Short range performance
• ARGUS FMCW 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
•
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.
