Sistema de radionavegación que da la posición de una aeronave equipada con un receptor adecuado. Esta posición se determina por la intersección de varias líneas de posición hiperbólica. El sistema puede utilizar la diferencia de tiempo que separa la recepción de impulsos emitidos simultáneamente, o la medida de la diferencia de fase de las ondas emitidas de forma continua emitidas con la fase sincronizada. 1, record 2, Spanish, - sistema%20de%20navegaci%C3%B3n%20hiperb%C3%B3lica
