Which of the following type is not used in an Omega system?

Correct Answer : Option (C) :   Hanging tower

Explanation : Since the Omega stations transmit in very low frequencies, the antennas are the largest physical structures in the stations. Three types of antennas are employed in the Omega system: grounded tower, insulated tower, and the valley span.

Correct Answer : Option (B) :   Helix

Explanation : The RF signal that is to be transmitted is transferred to the ‘Helix,’ a large helical coil that acts as a coarse tuning device for the antenna. The helix is equipped with separate taps for each signal frequency transmitted.

Correct Answer : Option (B) :   Continuous wave

Explanation : At each Omega station, continuous wave signals on four common frequencies and one station unique frequency. The signal frequencies are time shared among the stations so that a given frequency is transmitted by only one station at any given time.
