Radio Navigation Systems for Airports and Airways

This book highlights the design principles of ground based radio-navigation systems used in solving navigation tasks in the airfield and on air routes. Mathematical correlations are illustrated that describe its operation, peculiarities of disposition, main technical characteristics, generalized structural diagrams as well as the inter-operation with onboard equipment. Examples of building, construction, functional diagrams, and characteristics of Russian made radio-navigation systems are discussed. This book is written for students of electronics and aviation disciplines. It can also be useful for aviation specialists as well as for those interested in air radio-navigation.

Addresses the main questions of radio-navigation theory, such as general principles of radio-navigation systems' design, navigation terms and notions, coordinate systems, lines of position etc Highlights the design principles of ground based radio-navigation systems used in solving navigation tasks in the airfield and on air routes Discusses the theoretical basis of construction, operational principles, main characteristics and construction of radio navigational systems that are mounted in airports
