"In
navigation
, a
radio beacon
or
radiobeacon
is a kind of
beacon
, a device that marks a fixed location and allows
direction-finding
equipment to find relative
bearing
. But instead of employing
visible light
, radio beacons transmit
electromagnetic radiation
in the
radio wave
band
. They are used for direction-finding systems on ships, aircraft and vehicles.
[1]
Radio beacons
transmit
a continuous or periodic radio signal with limited information (for example, its identification or location) on a specified
radio frequency
. Occasionally, the beacon's transmission includes other information, such as
telemetric
or meteorological data.
Radio beacons have many applications, including air and sea navigation, propagation research,
robotic mapping
,
radio-frequency identification
(RFID),
near-field communication
(NFC) and
indoor navigation
, as with
real-time locating systems
(RTLS) like
Syledis
or
simultaneous localization and mapping
(SLAM)."
