What is a Solid State Doppler Radar?.

The Radar Solid State Doppler NXT represents a breakthrough in maritime navigation technology. Unlike traditional radar systems, this system uses solid-state components, which not only provide faster start-up and lower power consumption, but also a more stable and reliable signal. This innovative system not only offers the basic functionality of a standard Doppler radar, but also has a powerful Target Analyzer that accurately determines moving targets based on speed and distance data.

Unlike conventional approaches, this radar does not simply summarize what is unknown. When comparing the Radar Solid State Doppler NXT with other radars on the market, it becomes clear that the system offers an extra dimension.

This innovation meets the challenges of the maritime sector well, where fishing vessels, workboats, motor yachts and sailing yachts encounter all kinds of new dangers such as wind turbines, offshore platforms and much more.

It offers users the certainty that they all have the latest equipment. The combination of Doppler processing with modern solid-state technology ensures that even the smallest weather changes and small objects are immediately detected, which is invaluable for safety and operational optimization at sea.

The Solid State Doppler Radar NXT is the innovative radar solution that starts up in a fraction of the time and does not use classic microwave technology. This results in very low energy consumption. The radar detects both at short and long range and is specifically tuned to measure the frequency change in the reflected echo of moving objects compared to stationary objects. This function, also called Target Analyzer, immediately indicates when an approaching target becomes potentially dangerous. Targets that are approaching quickly are automatically displayed in a different color; while green echoes remain alert but do not pose a direct threat, red echoes indicate that extra alertness is required. With colored echoes, moving traffic can very easily be distinguished from other traffic or fixed objects, such as stationary ships, land, etc. Green echoes remain stationary or drift away, while red echoes can be dangerous because they are approaching your vessel. Red echoes are therefore a special focus.

Sail360’s partnerships with manufacturers such as Furuno and their innovative applications strengthen its position.

Demonstration and Applications

For those who want to gain a better understanding of how the Solid State Doppler NXT works, an extensive video is available that explains in detail its unique features, such as real-time target color analysis and fast target tracking. This demonstration not only shows how the system works effectively, but also places the technology in the context of current maritime challenges – from busy port operations to navigating complex open water environments.

Deeper insights and technical advantages

of the Solid State Doppler Radar NXT:

• Low power consumption due to the absence of the magnetron By skipping traditional magnetron technology, significant energy savings are achieved, which also makes the system more environmentally friendly.
• Built-in Target analyzer, which offers the possibility to analyze moving targets directly and change color, providing immediate feedback for crucial decisions at sea.
• Fast Target tracking, tracking up to 100 targets simultaneously provides a complete picture of the environment, which is especially important in busy waters.
• RezBoost beam to achieve sharpness in the image
• Bird Mode, makes it easier to find optimal fishing grounds, which is valuable for both commercial and recreational fishermen.
• Easy installation thanks to the use of a smart installation cable and the absence of an additional power unit, installation is carried out quickly and cost-effectively.
• Smart installation cable that offers a replacement for the traditional DRS cables
  Easy to connect to Chartplotter, GPS, AIS .

In summary, the Radar Solid State Doppler NXT offers a unique combination of powerful technology, detailed signal analysis and practical applications. This makes it a valuable choice for anyone looking for a radar solution that is both innovative and future-proof.
