    Locator Outer Marker (LOM), a High Frequency (HF) Non-Directional Beacon, co-located with an "outer marker" (OM) 75-MHz Marker Beacon. Middle marker antenna at KONT A marker beacon is a particular type of VHF radio beacon used in aviation , usually in conjunction with an instrument landing system (ILS), to give pilots a means to determine ...

    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.

  4. Radio beacon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_beacon

    A marker beacon is a specialized beacon used in aviation, in conjunction with an instrument landing system (ILS), to give pilots a means to determine distance to the runway. Marker beacons transmit on the dedicated frequency of 75 MHz. This type of beacon is slowly being phased out, and most new ILS installations have no marker beacons.

  5. Amateur radio propagation beacon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio_propagation...

    An amateur radio propagation beacon is a radio beacon, whose purpose is the investigation of the propagation of radio signals. Most radio propagation beacons use amateur radio frequencies. They can be found on LF, MF, HF, VHF, UHF, and microwave frequencies. Microwave beacons are also used as signal sources to test and calibrate antennas and ...

  6. Automatic Packet Reporting System - Wikipedia

    The position/object/item packets contain the latitude and longitude, and a symbol to be displayed on the map, and have many optional fields for altitude, course, speed, radiated power, antenna height above average terrain, antenna gain, and voice operating frequency. Positions of fixed stations are configured in the APRS software.

  7. Automatic direction finder - Wikipedia

    This is the result of the loop itself banking with the aircraft and therefore being at a different angle to the beacon. For ease of visualisation, it can be useful to consider a 90° banked turn, with the wings vertical. The bearing of the beacon as seen from the ADF aerial will now be unrelated to the direction of the aircraft to the beacon.

  8. Letter beacon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_beacon

    Signal of letter beacon D on 5137.5 kHz Letter beacons are radio transmissions of uncertain origin and unknown purpose, consisting of only a single repeating Morse code letter. They have been classified into a number of groups according to transmission code and frequency , and it is supposed that the source for most of them is Russia and began ...
