Title: Method of radio navigation

Abstract: A method of determining, at the site of a radio beacon, the location of any beacon signal reflecting objects, in which method the beacon is caused to transmit a directionally coded signal over a given service sector, in which during said signal transmission a radio receiver is moved towards said beacon along a predetermined path in said sector, in which during said movement all beacon-derived signals received by the receiver are recorded in a form such as to be coded at least in respect of beacon related bearings and in which said recorded signals are individually isolated in such a manner as to permit identification and location of any of said reflecting objects.
