A simple method has been introduced for analyzing VHF omnirange radio beacon errors caused by deficiencies in and misalignment of its antenna system. It is based on numerical computation of the Fourier series expansion for a ground error curve, and in so doing, provides a set of formulas for computing the amplitudes of duantal, quadrantal, and octantal errors. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
