TACAN

"M. J. Powell" wrote Except ICs instead of valves? It wasn't the size of the electronics, but rather the large antenna array required of the VOR system. A VOR antenna must be permanently aligned to the earth, something not possible with such a large array onboard a ship. The TACAN system operating on a different principle than VOR solved the size and alignment problems. Bob Moore Can you either explain how a TACAN works or provide a reference? Thanks.
