Non Directional (Radio) Beacon (NDB) is a radio transmitter used as an aviation or marine navigational aid. As the name implies, the signal transmitted does not include inherent directional information. NDB signals follow the curvature of the earth, so they can be received at much greater distances at lower altitudes. NDBs are used as markers or locators for an instrument landing system (ILS) approach or standard approach. NDBs may designate the starting area for an ILS approach or a path to follow for a standard terminal arrival procedure.
Omega offers patented solution to maintain system coverage regardless of undesirable antenna effects such as salt build-up on antenna insulators and ground plane resistance changes. Highlights include:
-
Constant field strength output for higher system availability.
-
Automatic resistance matching for higher system availability.
-
Sophisticated graphic user interface (GUI) for easy maintenance and troubleshooting.
-
Single or dual (main/standby with automatic changeover) configurations.
-
Synthesized exciter uses advanced DDS technology to produce highly stable RF drive at the desired operating frequency.
-
Extensive automatic fault monitoring for faster troubleshooting.
-
Extensive remote command/control and monitoring for fewer site visits.
