To determine direction, the ground beacon's pulses pass through a revolving (15 revolutions per second) antenna system that relies on two concentric cylindrical rings, one mounted with a single rod-shaped element, the other fitted with nine rods. Whirling around the antenna core, these rods, set at different modulations, "tag" (modulate) the signals as they go out. Every time the inner rod passes "zero" (north...
