Systems in which the signals received, with or without amplification, or signals derived therefrom, are compared in phase directly

Full Title

Beacons or beacon systems transmitting signals having a characteristic or characteristics capable of being detected by non-directional receivers and defining directions, positions, or position lines fixed relatively to the beacon transmitters; Receivers co-operating therewith (position fixing by co-ordinating a plurality of determinations of direction or position lines G01S5/00) > using radio waves (G01S19/00 takes precedence) > Systems for determining direction or position line > using a comparison of transit time of synchronised signals transmitted from non-directional antennas or antenna systems spaced apart, i.e. path-difference systems > the synchronised signals being continuous waves or intermittent trains of continuous waves, the intermittency not being for the purpose of determining direction or position line and the transit times being compared by measuring the phase difference > Systems in which the signals received, with or without amplification, or signals derived therefrom, are compared in phase directly
