Defining Navigation
Navigation is the determination of the Position and Velocity of a Moving Vehicle on land, at sea, in the air, or space.

What are Radio Navigational Aids ?Specialised Electronic and Communication Systems used for navigational purposes.
Long-range systems employ LF and HF bands.
Short-range systems employ VHF and UHF bands.
Microwave frequencies are used for long-range and short-range systems.

Basic Principles of Radio Navigational Aides
Measuring the distance to a known location by measuring the round trip time of the Electromagnetic Waves.
Utilizing the directional radiation pattern of antennas to find the direction to a known location.
Antenna radiation patterns are of a prime interest in the field of radio navigation aids.

Radio Direction FindingRDF equipment are used on board of aircraft, ships, and other moving platforms.
RDF systems employ a radio receiver with a rotatable Loop antenna.
Loop antennas have a special radiation pattern which is suited to the RDF function.

Radio BeaconsA Radio Beacon (RB) is a transmitter used with RDF (300 kHz - 3 MHz).
Technically, RDF can be used to take bearing of any transmitter operating at the appropriate radio frequency.
Non-directional Beacons (NDB) are used specifically with RDF.
NDB transmit CW interrupted at regular interval by identification Morse code.

VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR)VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) provides Azimuth reading at the aircraft.
No direction finding antenna required at the aircraft position.
VOR Beacon, transmits continuous signals on one of 20 assigned channels in the 108 - 118 MHz band.
Limited range to line-of-sight, about 100 km.
Several VORs are needed to cover long distance over land.
![Page 24: Radar Aids and Navigations](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042520/577cc7871a28aba711a13716/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Principle of OperationAntenna with Cardioid pattern, rotating electrically at the rate of 30 Hz (Goniometer).
Bearing information is transmitted in the phase of the signal.
A separate 30 Hz reference signal is transmitted by an Omnidirectional antenna.
Bearings are calculated from the phase information received at the aircraft.

The Cardioid pattern is rotated anticlockwise at the rate of 30 revolution s per second.
The amplitude of the signal at x is then proportional to:

IntroductionDistance Measuring Equipment (DME) is used to measure the distance between an aircraft and a fixed point.
Generally the fixed point is a VOR or a destination point as an airport.
The useful range of DME systems is about 180 km, corresponding to a roundtrip delay of 1200 m sec.
![Page 31: Radar Aids and Navigations](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042520/577cc7871a28aba711a13716/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

33
OperationThe transmitter sends pseudo-random coded “interrogation pulses”
The transponder responds by sending “reply pulses” using the same pseudo-random pattern.
The onboard receiver intercepts the reply pulses that conforms to its pseudo-random pattern.
The time difference between sending the pulses, transponder processing delay, and receiving the pulses is used in calculating the distance.
![Page 34: Radar Aids and Navigations](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042520/577cc7871a28aba711a13716/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Transponder Access MethodThe system employs a random access method.
Up to 50 aircrafts may use the same transponder.
The interrogation pulses are pseudo-random coded.
The receiver only accepts replies that conform to the same pseudo-random pattern.

MarkersMarkers are transmitters that radiate continuous narrow vertical radio beams.
The carrier frequency is 75 MHz modulated by special tones.
The first transmitter is modulated by a 400 Hz tone, located at 6 - 10 km from the end of the runway.
The second transmitter is modulated by a 1300 Hz tone, located at 1 km from the end of the runway.

IntroductionMicrowave Landing System (MLS) was designed to handle the increase in air traffic volume and to satisfy the demand for all-weather landing facilities.
Employs microwave frequencies (5 - 5.25 GHz band) rather than VHF.
MLS provides better accuracy, ease of application, and automation. enables landing down to zero ground visibility.
ICAO-approved replacement for the ILS system.
![Page 46: Radar Aids and Navigations](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042520/577cc7871a28aba711a13716/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
ArchitectureMLS consists of three subsystems:
Localiser,
Glide Slope, and
Flare.The Localiser and Glide Slope subsystems serve the same purpose as in ILS.
The Flare provides information on the actual height of the aircraft above the plane of the runway.

50
OperationThe system is based on Time-Reference Scanning Beams (TRSB), referenced to the runway, that enables an aircraft to determine precise azimuth and elevation angles.
The angular position is made by measurement of the time intervals between the TO and FRO azimuth antenna beam scan (typically +/- 60o) and UP and DOWN scan (typically 0o - 30o) of the elevation antenna pattern.
