Abstract:

LORAN is a highly accurate source of positioning information that can also be used for precision time reference. This report presents an overview of the LORAN navigation system for the general reader. Basic system characteristics and relationships provide a background in LORAN navigation and signal processing that applies to LORAN receivers in current use. Data for available LORAN transmitter chains are included with the report. Author
