Location radio service

3D sensor non-navigational location radio service, type AN / TPS-77 of the Royal Australian Air Force

The radio location service ( English radiodetermination service ) is a radio service for the purpose of radio location . This uses the reception of radio waves to determine the location of an object, provided that it reflects or emits radio waves.

The radio location service is used, among other things, by direction finder stations, navigation stations, radio beacons, radar sensors, Decca chains, etc., mainly on land, but also in satellites, ships or missiles.

The VO Funk categorizes the location radio services as follows:

• Location radio service (Article 1.40: A radiocommunication service for the purpose of radiodetermination .)
  • Positioning radio service via satellite (Article 1.41)
  • Navigational radio service (Article 1.42)
    • Satellite navigation service (Article 1.43)
    • Maritime navigation service (Article 1.44)
      • Maritime navigation service via satellites (Article 1.45)
    • Air Navigation Service (Article 1.46)
      • Air navigation service via satellites (Article 1.47)
  • Non-navigational location radio service (Article 1.48)
