Abstract:

This Memorandum summarises the principles found relevant to the successful operation of OMEGA and VLF installations in aircraft. It includes a list of interference field strengths found in various RAE aircraft, the considerations to be taken into account in the choice of aerial type and site, installation problems and their relation to receiver design. An indication is given of the direction that receiver design might take to eliminate the need for skin-mapping. Author
