Accuracy of the Position Fix and the Propagational Characteristic of Omega Radio Wave at Busan

부산지방에서의 오메가전파의 전파특성과 측정위치의 정도에 관하여

Accuracy of the position fix obtained by navigation with Omega in the capacity of worldwide navigation depends on the predicted propagation correction. The authors observe continuously the phase differences of the A-C pair and the A-E pair from April 17 to October 14, 1980, at Busan(35\ulcorner07'. 9N, 129\ulcorner06'. 3E), and analyze the characteristic of daily variation the relation between the theoretical PPC and the measu red PPC to study the accuracy of the position fix. The results are as follows: 1. The results of fourier's analysis for the theoretical PPC and the measured PPC are positive correlation in the coefficients ao, a2, a3 with A-C pair and in the coefficients aO-a3 with A-E pair, and those PPC are apparent to daily periodicity during all measured time. The initial phase is around to 280\ulcorner with A-C pair and 1800 with A-E pair. 2. Daily variatons of the phase difference tend to decrease and the time width to narrow from April toward July, but these variations are opposed to those from July toward October. 3. Mean value of total errors of the position fix by theoretical PPC is 2.67 miles and its standard deviationis O.90miles. 4. Mean value of total errors of the position fix by the measured PPC is 0.63 miles and its standard deviation is 0.217 miles.
