  2. Emergency position-indicating radiobeacon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_position...

    An emergency position-indicating radiobeacon (EPIRB) is a type of emergency locator beacon for commercial and recreational boats, a portable, battery-powered radio transmitter used in emergencies to locate boaters in distress and in need of immediate rescue. In the event of an emergency, such as a ship sinking or medical emergency onboard, the ...

    The International Beacon Project (IBP), which is coordinated by the Northern California DX Foundation and the International Amateur Radio Union, consists of 18 high frequency propagation beacons worldwide, which transmit in turns on 14.100 MHz, 18.110 MHz, 21.150 MHz, 24.930 MHz, and 28.200 MHz.

  4. International Beacon Project - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Beacon_Project

    The International Beacon Project (IBP) is a worldwide network of radio propagation beacons. It consists of 18 continuous wave (CW) beacons operating on five designated frequencies in the high frequency band. [1][2] The IBP beacons provide a means of assessing the prevailing ionospheric signal propagation characteristics to both amateur and ...

  5. 10-meter band - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10-meter_band

    10-meter band. The 10-meter band is a portion of the shortwave radio spectrum internationally allocated to amateur radio and amateur satellite use on a primary basis. The band consists of frequencies stretching from 28.000 to 29.700 MHz. [1]

  6. Radio beacon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_beacon

    Radio beacons transmit a continuous or periodic radio signal with limited information (for example, its identification or location) on a specified radio frequency. Occasionally, the beacon's transmission includes other information, such as telemetric or meteorological data. Radio beacons have many applications, including air and sea navigation ...

    As an example, assume that the granularity for the search in code phase is 0.5 chips and in frequency is 500 Hz, then there are 1,023/0.5 = 2,046 code phases and 10,000 Hz/500 Hz = 20 frequencies to try for a total of 20×2,046 = 40,920 local replicas. Note that each frequency bin is centered on its interval and therefore covers 250 Hz in each ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-directional_beacon

    One of the wooden poles of NDB HDL at Plankstadt, Germany Ferrite antenna for non-directional beacon (NDB), frequency range 255–526.5 kHz NDBs typically operate in the frequency range from 190 kHz to 535 kHz (although they are allocated frequencies from 190 to 1750 kHz) and transmit a carrier modulated by either 400 or 1020 Hz.

  9. Standard frequency and time signal service - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_frequency_and...

    Standard frequency and time signal-satellite service (short: SFTSS) is, according to Article 1.54 of the International Telecommunication Union's (ITU) Radio Regulations (RR), [2] defined as A radiocommunication service using space stations on earth satellites for the same purposes as those of the standard frequency and time signal service.
