Omega
Abstract
The Omega system with its major propagational characteristics was examined. Omega is a long range, very low frequency (VLF) radio navigation system which provides global coverage for ships and aircrafts. The VLF propagation and application to navigation, and signal coverage are reviewed. An overview is presented of Omega and its administration, synchronization, traditional applications, large ambiquity resolution, special applications, and differential Omega. Combined systems using both Omega and VLF communication signals are also mentioned.
