Navigation Fundamentals
Jonathan F. Carrillo, ECE
PROFESSOR IN ECE 525 Navigation - navigation is a method of getting from one known point to some distant point. . - Piloting, celestial navigation, and radio navigation are thecommonly used methods. Electronic Navigation • Air Navigation • Marine Navigation • Land Navigation • Space Navigation Radar - Radio Detection and Ranging - Similar to sound wave reflection - Uses radio waves
- Report Topic assigned to Mr. Ian Jhefer B. Guevarra
Automatic Direction Finders (ADF) - Or Automatic Direction Finding - is an electronic aid to navigation that identifies the relative bearing of an aircraft from a radio beacon transmitting in the MF or LF bandwidth
- Report Topic assigned to Shanne Hayley D.
Manlapaz Nond-Directional Beacons (NDF) - is a ground-based, low frequency radio transmitter used as an instrument approach for airports and offshore platforms. - works with ADF
- Report Topic assigned to Renz Louie V. Guillero
LORAN - Long RAnge Navigation - Is a navigational system used by both aircrafts and maritime ships to obtain fix positions. - based on the difference in the transit time required for pulsed radio signals to arrive at the LORAN receiver from multiple, synchronized, omnidirectional ashore transmitters. - Report Topic assigned to Jan Krystal G. Camaya DECCA Navigator System - Both ships and aircrafts - hyperbolic radio navigation system which allowed ships and aircraft to determine their position by receiving radio signals from fixed navigational beacons.
- Report Topic assigned to Via Marie M. Mesa
Omega - is a very long‐range VLF navigation system generating hyperbolic lines‐of‐position by phase difference measurements. - Report Topic assigned to Shane Ann M. Suarez Instrument Landing System (ILS) - is a highly accurate radio signal navigation aid consisting of two antennas which transmit signals to receivers in the aircraft cockpit.
- Report Topic assigned to Gerwin J. Chico
Microwave Landing System (MLS) - is a precision approach and landing system that provides position information and various ground to air data.
- Report Topic assigned to John Dave C. Mangoba
Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) - defined as a navigation beacon, usually coupled with a VOR beacon, to enable aircraft to measure their position relative to that beacon.
- Report Topic assigned to Dann Oliver S. Infortuno
VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) - used for air navigation - older than GPS - a reliable and common source of navigation information since the 1960s, and they still serve as a useful navigational aid for many pilots without GPS services.
- Report Topic assigned to Kimberly P. Manalili
GPS - is a network of about 30 satellites orbiting the Earth at an altitude of 20,000 km. - a satellite navigation system used to determine the ground position of an object.
- Report Topic assigned to Marinette R. Cruz
Marine Navigational Systems - Report Topic assigned to Jeff Gideon O. Vinuya TACAN - TACtical Air Navigation system - a fixed navigation system primarily used by military, not civilian aircraft.
