A VOR station is most often also used for communication (ATC) with the airfield. ATIS, ground, tower etc. | |||
The omnidirectional signal is transmitted on a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulated_continuous_wave modulated continues wave] containing the identifying Morse code. The signal contains a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplitude_modulation AM] signal that can be used for voice or ATC. The signal is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_modulation FM] modulated and the lag (delay) between the AM and FM signal identifies the radial. | |||
Typically the transmitted radial is oriented to True North. | |||
The range of the VOR signals depend on the type used. | The range of the VOR signals depend on the type used. | ||
