  • Page 11 ™ Halo - Product Description HALO™ Pulse Compression Radars have: Solid State Broadband X-Band 25W Transceiver in pedestal using Pulse Compression Technology - no magnetron lifetime degradation or AFC tuning issues – EVER. Unprecedented Target Resolution using Beamsharpening (with Target Separation Control) for all the open array antennas.
  • Page 12 ™ Halo - Safety benefits HALO™ Pulse Compression Radars have only 25w peak RF power An open array is never quite huggable for servicing dealers but Halo gets as close as possible and 100% safe outside the swing circle of the antenna for all models for anyone Model 100W/m2 –...
  • Page 13 Halo™- Ease of Use Setup is 100% easy…...Just: • Select antenna size – 3/4/6’ • Set antenna height – default is 13 ft • Set the BEARING ZERO to align with your vessels lubber line No Range Offset is ever needed No AFC tuning is required Auto Harbour/Offshore/Bird/Weather optimized out of the box.
  • Page 14 Halo™- USER Modes Advantages Custom: Manual Control Harbour: Best resolution to provide a clear image in a congested environment. Sea clutter control is optimized to suppress wind-borne chop and handle strong close land targets. Offshore: Low resolution to present isolated point targets as large and easy-to-see returns.
  • Page 15 SPECIAL NOTE: Release #1 (RTM1) does not include: Buoy Netfinder SaRT Latest Software Versions for MFD and Halo are on SIMRAD website. Check for updates regularly for latest functionality. Minimum baseline code: NSS_evo2: V2.0-51.1.80 NSO_evo2: V3.0-51.1.80 Halo: V5.1.0 or later...
  • Page 16 - NOT as safe as 3G/4G. “Cannot be hugged”. emissions - Can run in anchorages and marinas Connects to range of SIMRAD evo2 multi-function displays via Ethernet using RI-12 Interface Connectivity and box. Same radar cable to scanner as 3G/4G. Easier to install with small diameter connectors Installation and thinner/lighter cabling than competitor Open Arrays.

  • Page 21 Halo™- What made it possible… X-band pulse compression radar has only become possible outside the military around the last 5 years or so. The first non-military X-band marine pulse compression radar was the Kelvin-Hughes’ Sharpeye. This radar can only be made in small volumes and is extremely expensive. What has made Halo Pulse Compression radar affordable for the recreational marine market? Solid State transmit power: Gallium Nitride (GaN) X-band power amplifier devices.

  • Page 23 Halo™ - What Is It? HALO™ Pulse Compression Radar has Combined Characteristics...
  • Page 24 Halo™ - Conventional Pulse Radar Short high-power pulse Power 100nsec Fixed Frequency: 9.4GHz Transmitted Object Radar Reflected Time The radar transmits a powerful, but very short pulse, at fixed frequency. The pulse propagates outwards in a direction determined by the angle of the rotating radar antenna at the time of transmission.
  • Page 25 Halo™ - How Navico 3G/4G Works Navico Broadband Radar - Long Swept Frequency Modulated pulse FMCW = Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (a Frequency Diversity mode) The transceiver transmits a ‘rising tone’ (Tx wave) with linear increasing frequency – at the same time the signals are received –...
  • Page 26 Halo™ - How Halo™ Works Navico Halo Pulse Compression - Medium power FM ‘Chirp’ Halo™ Pulse Compression technology is somewhat similar to the Navico “Chirp” technology, except for custom modulation/Burst RF Transmission sequences and applied to radar instead of sonar. A ‘chirp’...
  • Page 27 Halo™ - 6 Radars in 1 - ‘Chirp Burst’ Navico Halo Pulse Compression - FM ‘Chirp Burst’ Simple pulse compression method of transmitting a single chirp is not possible or practical: • A short chirp gives good minimum range but poor long range target detection •...
  • Page 28 Halo™- Image Composition Each chirp covers sub-range of the full radar range. For example: NOTE: Each pulse/Chirp covers up to the blind range of the next longer chirp. LONG Tx times creates huge dead zones (main bang time) that have to be managed well in DSP. A Radar Mile = 12.1us to target and back, so a 96us long pulse = ~7.9nm.
  • Page 29 Halo™- Image Composition The sub-ranges are seamlessly joined together to build a complete radar image NOTE: It is important to match STC values across the chirp boundaries or a target discontinuity will occur. Notice the smooth, clean target image crossing the chirp1 and chirp 2 range edges.
  • Page 30 Halo™- How Halo™ Works Halo™ Pulse Compression – How is a 25W Halo a 6kW equivalent?
  • Page 31 HALO radars target detection performance is below with Noise Rejection = HIGH. HALO-4 has similar target detection performance as SIMRAD 6kW TX06S-1. SPECIAL NOTE: IMO standard IEC 62388 target detection specs are met with a HALO-6/HALO-4 installed 15m high. Beacon /Racon triggering range is around 1nm - less than the 5nm IMO spec.

  • Page 51 Halo™- BONUS – Halo Target detection in Rain The unique properties of pulse compression mean Halo sees through rain better at short range (best for collision avoidance) while still seeing distant rain (that you want to avoid) as well as conventional pulse radar.

Sector Blanking will be functional end of May with MFD (NSS_evo2: V3.0-52.x.xx and NSO_evo2: V4.0-52.x.xx and up) and Halo (V5.1.x and up).
  • Page 97 Halo™- System Resets In very rare cases of a lockup, just Power the radar off and on. It is best to turn off all boat DC power and back ON again. Try that if a Radar ON/OFF does not work. This will fix any systems issue.
