What are the two types of VOR signals?
What are the two types of VOR signals? The VOR sends out one stationary master signal, and one rotating variable signal. These are also called reference and variable phases. An aircraft's VOR antenna, which is usually located on the tail, picks up this signal and transfers it to the receiver in the cockpit.
Is VOR and VHF the same?
The VHF (Very High Frequency) Omni-Directional Range, otherwise known as VOR; is a ground-based transmitter that emits radio signals and is identified with it's own frequency and three letter code. Aircraft equipped with VHF Navigation Receivers can then interpret these signals and use them for navigation purposes.
