What is broadband radar? The navico broadband radar uses fmcw (frequency modulated continuous wave) radar technology. What is fmcw? The current normal leisure radar generates microwave pulses with a thermionic device called a magnetron. This ancient technology transmits bursts of high power microwav...

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 n...
