For the induction line method, the searcher follows the strongest signal, reorienting the transceiver periodically. This method is usually faster since it involves less walking on the avalanche deposit. ...

Les techniques de recherche [avec l’appareil de recherche de victimes d’avalanche]. Il existe deux méthodes, l’une classique avec déplacement du chercheur selon des axes perpendiculaires successifs (dite méthode de la croix) et l’autre dite directionnelle, où l’on se dirige sur la victime en décrivant une courbe correspondant aux lignes de champ. [La] recherche directionnelle [...] consiste à remonter les lignes du champ électromagnétique émis par l’appareil enseveli. [...] Pour arriver à la victime, il faut suivre la direction donnée par le son maximal. 5, record 3, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20directionnelle

Le terme de recherche directionnelle est parfois mal compris. Généralement, on ne va pas directement sur la victime. Cela ne se produit que dans le cas idéal où les antennes des appareils émetteur et récepteur sont dans l’axe l’une de l’autre.

Indeed, COFDM [Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing] allows the introduction of intentional 'man-made multipath', where all the transmitters within the transmission network operate on the same frequency - a single frequency network or SFN.
