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 > using radio waves > Systems for determining direction or position line > using amplitude comparison of signals transmitted sequentially from antennas or antenna systems having differently-oriented overlapping directivity-characteristics, e.g. equi-signal A-N type
