The Construction of EUROFIX system into the Korean Loran-C Chain(9930)
Loran-C 한국체인(9930)에의 EUROFIX 시스템 구축
Abstract
While recognizing that Loran-C is very important as a back-up for satellite systems, the introduction of EUROFIX, that it uses Loran-C system, was proposed and admitted at 9th FERNS(Far East Radio Navigation System) Meeting. But, the FERNS countries should consider whether the cost-effectiveness of the system could be improved by making use of its communication facilities to integrate more closely with satellite systems. And, the members were requested to give this proposal consideration before the l0th session of the Council. or this matter, Korea planned to demonstrate transmitting EUROFIX signals from Pohang Loran-C station (Master of 9930 Chain) during the l0th FERNS Meetings. Therefore, this thesis describes the analysis of EUROFIX datalink and progress of EUROFIX construction work. This thesis is the report with regard to the sequence of this demonstration of EUROFIX in Korea.
