Radiolocation, also known as radiolocating or radiopositioning, is the process of finding the location of something through the use of radio waves.It generally refers to passive, particularly radar—as well as detecting buried cables, water mains, and other public utilities.
A radio direction finder (RDF) is a device for finding the direction, or bearing, to a radio source. The act of measuring the direction is known as radio direction finding or sometimes simply direction finding (DF). Using two or more measurements from different locations, the location of an unknown transmitter can be determined; alternately ...
The International Telecommunication Union defines frequency allocation as being of "a given frequency band for the purpose of its use by one or more terrestrial or space radiocommunication services or the radio astronomy service under specified conditions". [2] Frequency allocation is also a special term, used in national frequency ...
The low-frequency radio range (LFR, also "Four Course Radio Range" among other names) was the main navigation system used by aircraft for instrument flying in the 1930s and 1940s in the U.S. and other countries, until the advent of the VOR in the late 1940s.
The most basic radio-navigational aid used in aviation is the non-directional beacon or NDB. It is a simple low- and medium-frequency transmitter used to locate airway intersections and airports and to conduct instrument approaches, with the use of a radio direction finder located on the aircraft.

The Lunar Crater Radio Telescope (LCRT) is a proposal by the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts to create an ultra-long-wavelength (hereby wavelengths greater than 10 m – i.e., frequencies below 30 MHz) radio telescope inside a lunar crater on the far side of the Moon. Square Kilometer Array (SKA-Phase2) Australia, South Africa 0.05–30 GHz
An antenna farm hosting various radio antennas on Sandia Peak near Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States. Radio is the technology of communicating using radio waves. [1] [2] [3] Radio waves are electromagnetic waves of frequency between 3 hertz (Hz) and 300 gigahertz (GHz).
