Abstract
A method, system, and computer-readable medium for reducing multipath propagation of a navigational aid station. Aspects include modulating an oscillator of the navigational aid station. Aspects also include transmitting a first signal using one or more antennas of the navigational aid station. Aspects additionally include transmitting a second signal using the one or more antennas of the navigational aid station. For example, the oscillator may be used as a frequency source for the first signal and the second signal.
Claims12
A method of reducing multipath propagation of a navigational aid station, comprising:
- modulating an oscillator of the navigational aid station;
- transmitting a first signal using one or more antennas of the navigational aid station;
- and
