SECTOR RADIO-RANGE BEACONS WITH RADIATING EQUISIGNAL ZONES,

Abstract

The determination of a ship's location with the aid of sector radio-range beacons is discussed, pointing out the major characteristics of this type of beacon and its operation. The major aspects include the zone of equal audibility of interlocked signals, their transmission, phase alternation and control, the rate and cycles in the transmission of dots and dashes, the equisignal zone, its rotation, arrangement and spacing of antennas. The tables, diagrams and formulas derived for the determination of a ship's location illustrate the practical application of the beacons. (Author)
