Lane resolution (in Omega)

A method of resolving the lanes in the Omega system.

Additional frequencies are transmitted such that the spacing between equiphase lines is a convenient submultiple of the spacing between the equiphase lines of the basic frequency.

If this ratio is say 34, a coarse lane equal to three fine lanes is provided.




Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
