the apparent movement of the antenna being produced by cyclic sequential energisation of fixed antennas

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 comparison of [1] the phase of the envelope of the change of frequency, due to Doppler effect, of the signal transmitted by an antenna moving, or appearing to move, in a cyclic path with [2] the phase of a reference signal, the frequency of this reference signal being synchronised with that of the cyclic movement, or apparent cyclic movement, of the antenna > the apparent movement of the antenna being produced by cyclic sequential energisation of fixed antennas
