Learn about the use of radio waves to determine the direction to a radio source, also known as radio direction finding (RDF) or direction finding (DF). Explore the history of RDF from early mechanical systems to modern electronic systems, and the applications of RDF in navigation, search and rescue, and signals intelligence.
Learn what ADF is and how it works as an electronic aid to navigation. ADF identifies the relative bearing of an aircraft from a radio beacon and can be used to home to the beacon or plot position lines on a chart.
Learn about the history, types, emissions and principles of NDBs and ADFs for air navigation. Find out how loop antennas, cardioid patterns and magnetic fields are used to determine the direction of radio signals.
ADF stands for automatic direction finder, an aircraft instrument that points to a non-directional beacon (NDB) on the ground. Learn how to use ADF, its types, its low-frequency problems and its replacement technologies in this article.
An automatic direction finder, often capable of being tuned to commercial AM radio transmitters, is a feature of almost all modern aircraft. For the military, RDF systems are a key component of signals intelligence systems and methodologies.
This video explains the practical and technical principles behind the signals used in ADF (automatic direction finding) and the use of non-directional beacon...
