Master practical direction finding with wireless—built for engineers, radio operators, and navigators.

This reference guides you from fundamentals to hands‑on installations, covering shore and ship D.F. stations, navigation use, and the common systems used in Britain and abroad. Illustrated with over 250 photographs and diagrams, the book pairs clear explanations with practical details you can apply in real work.

It lays out the principles, the instruments, and the methods the crew and technicians need. You’ll find material on valve amplifiers, cross bearings, and the specific configurations used in the Marconi‑Bellini‑Tosi and Robinson systems, among others. A practical emphasis runs throughout, with discussion of maps, measurements, and the everyday issues that affect bearing accuracy.

Foundations of wireless direction finding, including signals, phase, and polar diagrams
Construction and installation guidance for shore and ship D.F. stations
Descriptions of widely used systems and their setup, from valve amplifiers to radiogoniometers
Practical notes on maintenance, troubleshooting, and field calibration

Ideal for readers involved in wireless direction finding, including engineers tackling the field for the first time and navigators who rely on D.F. in the real world.
