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.

- Report Topic assigned to Ma. Casandra P.
