Question

Which of the following is not a function of the monitoring facility in Omega systems?

(a) Monitor performance

(b) Acts as relays

(c) Provide data to phase synchronize the stations

(d) Detect solar terrestrial events

I got this question during a job interview.

I need to ask this question from Hyperbolic Radio Systems in section Terrestrial Radio Navigation System of Avionics

Answer 1

Right choice is (b) Acts as relays

The explanation: Each station has a signal monitoring facility that is situated 20 to 50km away from the antenna. These stations perform functions such as monitor signal performance, provide the required data to phase synchronize the stations, and detecting solar terrestrial events that cause shifts in the propagated signal phase.
