The Future of Radar Beacons
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 November 2009
Extract
The principles of radar beacons (racons) are described and their significance for navigation discussed. Developments in radars which may affect the operation of racons are considered and ways of meeting the requirement to locate and identify aids to navigation on a radar display are considered. The developments in non-radar band transponders are reviewed to determine whether they might present an alternative to racons in the future.
