4G Broadband Radar

Navico released this week, 4G Broadband Radar in their popular Simrad and Lowrance brands. Boasting 50% more range and new revolutionary Beam Sharpening technology provides the sharpest possible radar images.

4G BroadbandRadar is the first dome antenna to employ beam sharpening. This enables a new feature called Target Separation Control which improves Azimuth Resolution - or effective antenna horizontal beamwidth. The result is up to 2x resolution of any other 18" dome and equivalent to 3'6" open array radar.

In the Simrad version, when connect to an NSO or NSE display, simultaneous dual range, anywhere from 50m to 36nm and high speed 48rpm is possible.
