Automatic direction finding is a marine or aircraft radio-navigation instrument that identifies the relative bearing of an aircraft to the suitable radio station by using the radio signals in the low to medium frequency band of 190 Khz. to 1750 Khz. for navigation purposes. The ADF receives radio signals with the help of two antennas, first is a loop antenna which determines the strength of the signal which it receives from the ground station to determine the direction of the station. The second is the sense antenna which determines whether the aircraft is moving toward or away from the station. A pointer indicates the relative bearing to the station. and when the indication is 0°, the aircraft is on course to (or from) the station.
The Automatic direction finding is used in the aircraft by pilots to determine the position of NDB station by identifying the appropriate frequency for the NDB station on the ADF selector through a fixed-card bearing indicator with an arrow that points in the direction of the beacon. The various type of ADF is maritime, mobile land and airborne which are used for application in air traffic control, vessel traffic service, search and rescue, others.
The major production of automatic direction finder is in the region such as United States, Germany and Japan with the high demand of the ADF in North America.
Since the first commercial flight back in 1914, air travel has gone through many changes. Earlier, it was an experience only the society’s most privileged people could afford. Today, air travel is easily accessible to everyone in spite of their societal standing. As customers mature, their expectations from air travel also evolve. The number of airline passengers is predicted to rise over the next ten years and beyond. Due to the rising levels of financial independence and a higher average GDP around the world more people can afford to take flights. The world is becoming more connected, with the internet bringing us closer together, 24-hour news allowing us to see what is happening around the world and more efficient planes allowing us to travel from place to place. Even if there is a downturn in productivity and restrictions in trade agreements, globally there should still be more than 6 billion passengers every year by the end of the next decade, significantly higher than today. Passengers numbering in the billions will continue to use planes, and many millions of new fliers will experience it for the first time, eventually becoming loyal customers. The growing demand for airways is increasing the demand for automatic direction finder as proper navigation is required in airplanes.
