LORAN Navigation System Diagram

This figure shows how the basic components and operation of the LORAN system. This diagram shows that a LORAN system is composed of a master and secondary transmitters that operate at approximately 100 kHz. The secondary transmitters are synchronized to the master transmitter and each transmitter and they transmit a sequence of pulses in succession that are spaced in time so they do not overlap with each other. This diagram shows that the receiver calculates the time difference between each of the pulse sequence to determine the distance from each transmitter to create a hyperbolic line of position (LOP). The location is at the point where the LOPs intersect each other.
