Every ten seconds, each of eight stations located around the world radiated a unique pattern on four common frequencies (10.2, 11.05, 11.3, and 13.6 kHz) in time-sharing cycles with a silent 0.2-s interval between each transmission. Besides these common frequencies, each of the stations transmitted on a unique frequency. Any time an aircraft OMEGA receiver received three frequencies, the lines of position were fixed by the OMEGA navigational system computer. A highly automated aid, it provided highly accurate information about the wind velocity, time, distance, and course to the destination or waypoint; ETA (estimated time of arrival); and the present location of the aircraft.Omega (programming)A prototype-based object-orientedlanguage from Austria.
