A worldwide, electronic, hyperbolic navigation system. A master and one or more slave stations transmit a CW (continuous wave) signal simultaneously on the same VLF (very-low-frequency) carrier. The receiving aircraft measures the phase difference between these signals as they are received, and plots, on a hyperbolic chart, the line of position on which this phase difference can occur. The lines of position from two Omega stations cross at the location of the aircraft.
