Receiver autonomous integrity monitoring
Receiver autonomous integrity monitoring - The self-monitoring function performed by a TSO-129 certified GPS receiver to ensure that adequate GPS signals are being received at all times.
Aircraft Receiver
The Royal Flying Corps was established in May 1912. Major Herbert Musgrave was placed in charge of RFC's experiments. This included research into how wireless telegraphy could be used by military aircraft.
Before the advent of electric powered RC airplanes, all RC aircraft carried an onboard battery pack to power the receiver and the servos.
Receiver (Rx) The radio unit in the airplane which receives the transmitter signal and relays the control to the servos.
Receiver: That portion of a wireless apparatus which receives the signals through the ether waves and modulates them.
VOR receiver - This cockpit device receives VOR signals and allows to pilots to select and maintain their magnetic compass course.
VOR station - A ground station that transmits VOR signals.
VOR receiver check
The FAA operates a VOR test facility (VOT) and this station transmits one radial with a 0° FROM and 180° TO indication on the VOR indicator if its properly calibrated. Accuracy is +/- 4° on the ground and +/- 6° flying.
RECEIVER AUTONOMOUS INTEGRITY MONITORING (RAIM)- A technique whereby a civil GNSS receiver/processor determines the integrity of the GNSS navigation signals without reference to sensors or non-DoD integrity systems other than the receiver itself.
The receiver unit has tuning dials to select the station frequency A volume control allows the audible volume to be controlled for identifying the station. The volume can be reduced to prevent interference with other communications.
GPS receivers for use with PDAs and portable PCs typically involve the software program (either on CD-ROM, DVD, or downloaded from the Internet), a GPS antenna to plug into the device, a stylus or mouse to navigate onscreen buttons, ...
Two receivers are currently popular, although both are at the expensive end for consumer devices. The first on the market was Kinetic Avionics with their SBS-1. The second was the AirNav Systems RadarBox.
Allows receiver to draw power from a main battery pack, eliminating the need for (and weight of) a receiver battery.
BB (Ball-Bearing) ...
Tanker or receiver directive call indicating immediate vertical and nose/tail separation between tanker and receiver is required.
BREVITY
Radio frequency is becoming saturated/degraded or jammed and briefer transmissions must follow.
A plain old VOR receiver can get you into trouble, too. It is altogether too common for pilots approaching a VOR to have their heads “down and locked” — ...
transponder
A receiver/transmitter which will generate a reply signal upon proper interrogation; the interrogation and reply being on different frequencies

Advances in navigational radio receivers installed in aircraft, the development of aeronautical charts which show the exact location of ground transmitting stations and their frequencies, ...
Coherent detection - A technique used in certain ADF receivers to improve useful range.

COM - Communications.
Comosite video - Analog VOR receiver output before processing.
A radar system comprising a ground-based transmitter/receiver which interrogates a compatible unit in the aircraft (the transponder), providing instant radar identification without having to manoeuvre.
The return signal, or radar echo, is then analyzed by the receiver to determine both the distance and direction of the object hit.
Global Positioning System (GPS) - A system of 24 satellites used as reference points to enable navigators equipped with GPS receivers to determine their latitude, longitude, and altitude.
A companion receiver in the airplane provides a pointer that points at the station. This can be confusing, because as the plane turns, so does the pointer. The NDB receiver can also be tuned to standard AM broadcast radio stations.
transponder - airborne receiver/transmitter portion of the SSR system which receives
the interrogation signal from the ground and automatically replies according to mode
and code selected. Modes A and B are used for identification, using a four ...
Direction Finder (DF, VDF, UVD): A radio receiver equipped with a directional sensing antenna used to take bearings on a radio transmitter.
Displaced Threshold: A threshold that is located at a point on the runway other than the beginning.
System of satellites that allows miniature radio receivers on earth to pinpoint one's location within a few feet. Most cruise ships make use of this system to navigate the world's oceans
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) ...
A VOR station transmits a signal that the receiver can use to calculate its postion relative to or from the station. The pilot may use the CDI to select a course to or from the station and then maintain that course.
Attenuation - Acoustical phenomenon whereby sound energy is reduced between the noise source and the receiver. This energy loss can be attributed to atmospheric conditions, terrain, vegetation, other natural features, and man-made features (e.g.
OMEGA.
An OMEGA receiver provides position information that can be used to update the aircraft navigation position. OMEGA is the least accurate method of obtaining position information.
While there are many thousands of civil users of GPS world-wide, the system was designed for and is operated by the U. S. military. GPS provides specially coded satellite signals that can be processed in a GPS receiver, ...

SHIELDING - The attenuation of a sound by placing walls, buildings, plants, or other barriers between a sound source and the receiver.
An individual, firm, partnership, corporation, company, association, joint-stock association, or governmental entity. It includes a trustee, receiver, assignee, or similar representative of any of them.
Public aircraft ...
The many different surfaces work to reflect the radar signal in many different directions, so that very little of the signal gets back to the radar receiver.
small sensor on most modern military aircraft that can determine an air defense threat by measuring another plane's radar frequency
