Long Range Navigation
</dt>
A two-dimensional pulse-synchronized radio navigation system
to determine hyperbolic
lines of position through pulse-time differencing from a
master compared to two slave stations.

Loran uses the frequency band 1.7 to 2.0 megacycles; loran
C (Cytac) uses transmission at 100 kilocycles and phase compares
the continuous wave in the pulse envelopes for greater accuracy
using pulse technique for resolving ambiguities.
